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.

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!

Cute cottages, great view

We had a nice 3 night stay at Angela’s Halibut House and Lobster Lair. The house is nicely decorated and has a great deck overlooking the water. Halibut House was perfect for 2 people and our adult daughter enjoyed her privacy in Lobster Lair. Most of our stay was foggy and rainy, but we were able to go hiking at Quoddy Head and eat at some local restaurants. We did not cook there, so can’t comment on that part but our dog loved the yard and the deck as much as we did. Angela was very responsive, helpful and ready to make sure our stay went well.

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.

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 Spot in Lubec!

These sweet cottages are perched on a knoll with a beautiful view of the ocean. They are small, but with well thought out use of space. We were a group of 3 adults and were very comfortable. It’s close to town for restaurants and food shopping. The owner was very helpful and answered all of my questions promptly. We are already thinking about a return trip in the fall!
