Simply Awesome
My wife and I had a wonderful time. Gorgeous views teeming with wildlife. The house was perfect for us and Scheffes were wonderful hosts. The area is great for daily adventures and Machias was a great town for supplies and eats. Check out Bad Little Falls in Machias. Thank you so much for a relaxing, rejuvenating vacation. Mike and Lynne Bonasia
Too cute for words
Thank you for a lovely experience for our 1st time in Maine. Your cottage is adorable! Beautiful scenery, right on the water, quiet, peaceful, and tranquil. The owners were so sweet; they made sure we had a brand new grill, chopped firewood and kindling, warm down comforters on the bed. The house was equipped with a fantastic TV, lobster pots, towels, washer, dryer. The only thing draw back was the oven temperature wasn't visible on the control panel. If fact, you couldn't tell if you had the oven on. The microwave had the same problem with the light up panel. You couldn't tell the number of minutes you were microwaving something. Other than that we were extremely happy. I would stay here again!
Thanks Dana. We had a new stove delivered right after your stay. Thanks for the feedback.
Relax and Enjoy
My husband and I stayed here in the fall of 2015 (website didn't go back that far) and we still talk about it constantly. This home is perfect if you want a quiet retreat with a stunning view. We can't say enough about the condition of the house, the supplies provided and the management company that helped when we had a small problem with TV/computer reception. Additionally, we had the best experience with the local lobster fisherman & wife who gave us the most delicious lobsters we ever had. We hiked nearby and just thoroughly relaxed. Loved it!!!!
Cozy and comforting cottage
I stayed at this cottage for ten days very recently and was 'wowed' by it. The views of the water, and the cottagenested high on the cliff was amazing. The octagonal shaped home utilized every space so thoughtfully and made it feel very cozy with outstanding views from the large windows on the wrap around deck. It is close to so many areas of interest: Acadia Nat' Park, Bar Harbor, Bangor, and even Canada. So much to do and see but I preferred staying close to "my tree house" and relax on the sunny deck and listen to the water lap against the rocks below. Just down the road a couple miles is beautiful Roque Bluffs beach as well ! I WILL be back. It was the perfect mental health vacation! ~N. Entriken~
Map
The Rouge Bluffs area is true downeast Maine, accessible to the well-known touristed areas near Bar Harbour and Acadia, and is a gateway to the less-explored, fascinating areas such as Lubec, ME; New Brunswick Canada Cambobello and Grand Manan Islands. Whale watching is an added bonus on the ferry to Grand Manan Island.
The nearby coastal towns (Machias, Machiasport, Jonesport, Cutler) are rich in scenic beauty, history and character and remain active lobstering and fishing communities. The area provides incredible coastal hiking and kayaking opportunities, rivaling any area in the U.S. Hikes along nearby ocean cliffs and unspoiled beaches and coves (Bold Coast trails are hidden gems for those seeking solitude and beauty:
Kayakers have their choice of protected bays, freshwater lakes, ocean sprinkled with islands and tidal rivers. It's not unusual to spot seals and eagles feeding on sardine runs in the Machias river just off of Sunrise (all purpose walking, biking and atv) trail near downtown East Machias. Perhaps the best kayaking is directly beneath our cottage in beautiful Kennebec Bay with access to the ocean and hidden Millponds housing a unique community of Yurts.
Be sure to visit Lubec, just before Campobello island, a scenic coastal town rich in culture, a mix of beautiful Victorian residences and a wharf area retaining many of the old warehouse and sardine processing buildings. Cutler harbour, a beautiful setting, offers frequent cruises to Machias Seal island to observe puffins and other shorebirds. The outing is reasonably priced and provides an intimate wildlife experience.
Further inland are a variety of hiking trails up mountains with views south to Acadia and north to Mt. Katahdin - these include Tunk Lake and the Schodic and Black Mountain trails off of route 183.
Wherever you drive, there are likely to be local artist and antique shops offering great value in unique gifts - remember these are roads less traveled.
