Slice of relaxed heaven

You can’t beat the view and the sunsets. The proximity to the pier is amazing. Everything is within one hour to see. So wonderful fisherman’s war restaurant we found a little town about 45 minutes away with a nice little shops. Great yard for dogs absolutely loved it.

We LOVE the Halibut House!

We had a fantastic stay at the Halibut House and exploring the Lubec, ME area. This place is everything we needed and the description was spot on. Best feature - the view of Johnson Bay and the fenced in dog yard! We couldn't have asked for anything better. One of the best vacations ever. We will return someday and when that day comes, we will definitely stay at the Halibut House again. Thank you, Angela, for everything!

Beautiful waterfront property, great cottage

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this Lubec gem. The cottage was super close to everything in town. We loved having the main bedroom upstairs and the “bunkhouse” next door for the kids. It was a relaxing low key space and a great property for dogs (fully fenced in). We highly recommend, thank you!

Perfect location in Lubec!

We have stayed at Halibut House twice. It is a great spot to explore Lubec and the area. Walking distance to downtown. Easy access to Canada. 10 minutes from the Roosevelt House and Park in Campobello. An hour and 20 minutes to St. Andrews. The cabin has everything we needed. Clean and neat. nice king bed with an amazing view to wake up to! Our pup loves the fenced in yard - a great perk!

Wonderful week

Our family of 4 stayed the week. Views are fantastic. Kayaking in Bay was outstanding. Abundance of wildlife (saw whales, seals, fox, eagles, and more). Kids (and us adults) had fun exploring beach collecting treasures like beach glass and special stones. Overall, would not hesitate to recommend or stay again ourselves.

Halibut House and Lobster Lair are charming!

These adorable properties are small but by no means spartan; plenty of comfortable places to curl up, all the “little touches” you can think of, and a very responsive owner and property manager. No “buts;” we loved it.

Charming Cottage in Beautiful Location

We were 1 adult and 2 teens, and stayed a week. The cottage was clean and well appointed. The view of the bay from the cottage is beautiful, and it was beyond relaxing and peaceful to sit on the deck and watch the sunset each night. There are so many hiking trails just minutes away, and most of the time we had the trails to ourselves. The cottage is a great location for a base camp for day trips, and to come back and relax each night. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Amazing Views!

We had a lovely four nights at The Halibut House in early June. The property was as described. Perfect cute cottage for the two of us and our pup. Loved the decor and it had everything we needed. The deck is perfect for drinks in the evening and breakfast in the morning. The view was AMAZING! The sunsets were beautiful and the view of Johnson Bay was spectacular. Loved the fenced yard for the dog and it was much larger than we expected. Loved the Lubec area. We are looking forward to another visit and will stay here again!

Wonderful dog-friendly accommodations with AMAZING view!

We loved Halibut House! We went with friends and brought our dogs. The house is adorable with a wonderful waterfront location. The yard is large and fully fenced in, which was great for the dogs. The town has a few restaurants and a brewery, which we enjoyed. Everything Lubec has to offer is a mile or less from the rental. The town itself is a bit sleepy, but it was nice being forced to slow down and relax. The owner and the caretaker are wonderful to deal with and extremely responsive. I would highly recommend this rental.

Super dog friendly, awesome water views!

Very amenable and accommodating owner. We were her 1st renters and she quickly dealt with the typical hiccups with a new process. DOG OWNERS REJOICE! Fenced yard kept the 4 legged guests super happy. The spectacular view kept the humans happy. Lubec (think loobec with the emphasis on bec, like Quebec)is a lovely spot with lots of Maine things to do. If you like outdoor activity, local seafood, and relaxed no fuss atmosphere then this is your place.

Cozy Cottage

Quaint little cottage right on the bay. Spectacular views including sunsets. Lovely, large deck with comfortable seating. Beautiful bay view from inside also. Two comfortable chairs allow you to enjoy the views! The queen size bed is in a cozy loft. The stairs could be a bit challenging for an elderly guest. Bathroom is a bit tiny. Everything you need for the kitchen is supplied. Large enclosed yard for pets or kids. Several nice restaurants in the town center. Lovely breeze at night. Very relaxing time away!

Great location in Lubec

Best part is the location, a large deck overlooking Johnson Bay--seals, loons, scoters, and other birds. Close to downtown Lubec, Campobello Island, West Quoddy lighthouse and trails, and the amazing network of trails developed by Cobscook Shores and other land trusts. We had a few snafus checking in and getting the wi-fi set-up, but our host Angela was very responsive and prompt in getting things fixed up and provided us lots of information of things to do. Great yard for dogs - thanks! The cottage would be small for more than 2 people and the stairs to the bedroom are narrow and steep, and the bathroom small, but otherwise the cottage is well-appointed, Everything you need.

Great location and view!

Cozy little place right on the water. Would definitely return and we truly loved our stay. Stairs would be a difficult to navigate for someone older or with limited mobility. Only one improvement that I can think of even suggesting would be to recommend a new mattress soon. But not a deal breaker! All other positives about the cabin offset. The owner was wonderful to work with and this is truly one of those places we hope to return too often. We loved it so much!
