Although Mother Nature put a damper on the stay with rainy days and fog. We still where able to explore the many attractions Lubec and surrounding areas had to offer. Including West Quaddy light, Campobello island, St Andrews in New Brunswick to name a few.

Girl's Weekend

5 Ladies spent 4 days and 3 nights in this beautiful, comfortable home. If it's privacy, peace and tranquility you want, not to mention an unbelievable view, this is the place for you. There are some nice restaurants (the freshest seafood & fish you have ever tasted!) and shops to visit in Lubec, plus a trip across the bridge to Campobello is a must!

Every detail was thoughtfully considered — from the plush towels and comfortable beds to the well-stocked kitchen and high-speed WiFi.The location was ideal: peaceful and private, yet close enough to all the local attractions, restaurants, and shops. We especially loved the balcony, which made our mornings and evenings feel extra special.Our host, Diane and husband, was exceptional — incredibly responsive, welcoming, and accommodating. They provided clear instructions and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay.We’ve stayed at many vacation rentals over the years, and this one truly stands out as one of the best.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!

The Helm” is a spacious, hand hewn timber home with a fantastic view in a secluded forested area. Great amenities: kitchen, bathrooms and laundry are spacious, very modern, and a nice compliment to the rest of the beautiful wood home. Spent mornings sipping coffee and discussing daily plans while watching the tide come in or go out. Saw seals, eagles and deer. Some days the plan was just to sit, relax and talk. Other days we went on day trips to Campobello, EastPort, reversing Falls, Quoddy light house, and Acadia national Park,Bar Harbor (two hours one way but worth it!). One day we visited the Lubec historical society (limited days and hours) and had a wonderful time talking to the friendly and knowledgeable docents. We signed up for a whale watching excursion and saw a herd of seals basking on an island in the bay and then saw/followed minke whales. The boat operator was a font of knowledge about the area and he gave us an exciting trip through “Sows’ maelstrom. Loved the house! Loved the area! Would love to stay here again!

The Rental Property Description Should be Updated

The guest suite is nice. It’s a perfect size for two guests. Lubec is a great base for outdoor activities (e.g., hikes at Boot Head Preserve and Western Head Preserve). And Diane provides helpful recommendations for under-the-radar things to do (e.g., lunch at West Branch Farm’s Coffee + Crisp Cafe [near Machias]). Why less than 5 stars? We ran out of hot water a couple of times when taking two showers spaced less than two hours apart, and got cold a couple of times overnight (the thermostat is set to 64° and is not adjustable as it is enclosed in a locked plexiglass box). The hosts’s lovely home sits in front of the guest suite, so it’s possible to see only a small fraction of the house’s beautiful waterfront view from the guest suite. To see the beautiful sunsets, we had to walk down to Diane and Chris’ backyard, which they allowed us to do. The featured picture for the property shows the view from the hosts’ house and backyard. You cannot see this view from the deck of the guest suite. 19 of 26 property reviews are of the hosts’ house, which used to be rented to guests. Those 19 reviews cause confusion and should not appear in the description of the rental suite.

Amazing house and location.

This was an absolutely beautiful home in a gorgeous location! The view of the bay kept us coming back for more pictures as we watched for wildlife and enjoyed some stunning sunsets! The house was immaculate and had everything we needed for a quiet, relaxing vacation. Pictures can't really do it justice. We especially enjoyed the dining table on the big balcony overlooking the bay. We ate all our meals there. We visited East Quoddy Lighthouse, Acadia National Park, Reversing Falls, and Moosehorn National Wildlife Reserve, where we were able to photograph a young bald eagle in its nest. We did some hiking to see the beautiful coastline of Maine; even the mile walk up the main drive was beautiful. All in all a very enjoyable vacation. Be sure to stop in at the Chowder House in Eastport if you get a chance for some excellent chowder and blueberry pie! And Diane, thank you for all your help and being available to answer all our questions. We've learned in the past that where you stay can make or break a vacation, and this home was very definitely an awesome base for exploring the northern coast of Maine!

relaxation

we had an amazing time at “The Helm” it was comfortable, relaxing, with breathtaking sunsets every night. Off in the distance you can hear the Reversing Falls. Which is a must see!! Every morning we woke to bald eagle chatter! We even had a little bird who fancied himself in our vehicle side mirrors. It was hysterical to watch him... the kids had fun playing with the foosball table. The house had everything we needed. I brought most of my own items to use, but if i forgot something the house had it. Overall we had a wonderful treading stay.

Great place to stay and enjoy Lubec

As you turn into the driveway “The Helm” is an impressive spacious home on its own point overlooking ​an expanse of ​water and wilderness. The home is comfortable, well appointed and decorated. We​ ​​​particularly ​enjoyed ​all of the ​the Navy memorabilia since we are from Navy families. The back deck was very pleasant for eating our meals and watching for wildlife and tide changes. The basket of travel info and brochures was very helpful​, and we enjoyed our trips to Campobello, Quoddy Head lighthouse and a nature/whale boat trip with Down East Charters. ​One trip to Monica’s Chocolates resulted in ​a second​ stop because we loved the dark chocolate/blueberry candy. The Helm is about a 15/20 minute​s​ from Lubec but worth the drive to enjoy this very special place.

Exceptional and Breathtaking

My husband and two boys (7 and 13) had an incredible time. Very well equipped home with all the necessities one would need! Very clean and is obvious owners pay a lot of attention to the detail. The location is remote and incredibly scenic, which is exactly what we needed. The sunsets were beyond breathtaking! We had the opportunity to be greeted twice daily by two seals. We even saw a family of porcupine, which is a treat in itself when you're from the city. Diane was extremely responsive from the moment we booked The Helm. Her property manager was AMAZING. We ended up arriving in the area when it was pitch black and low on gas. She was extremely helpful in trying to help us! (NOTE: GPS goes dead and the house can be difficult to locate if there is no sunshine. Print out directions and have gas in the tank before entering the area in the p.m.) During the day, we sought adventure but wound down at night by sitting near the water, playing cards, ping pong, and foosball. We went into the small town of Lubec, crossed over into Canada to visit and walked through Roosevelt’s home (beautiful with history that even my boys found interesting). East Quoddy Lighthouse is awesome (but must not be fearful of ladders). Monica’s Chocolates has wonderful customer service and yummy! Definitely pricey but the owner takes much pride in her shop and ensures top-notch service. The Inn On The Wharf was a decent restaurant for us picky eaters. The wait staff was very attentive and the meal was extremely reasonable. I would go again if in the area. All the little shops are a must but Eastport Breakwater Gallery is a must. The owner and his wife have such amazing talent and he is a wonderful man. Loved his work and you can find items that are reasonably priced. Baxter State Park is a tad of a haul but a definite must! $14 for the day and was able to view the sites of a moose. Polar Treat near Perry, Maine has the best ice cream ever! West Quoddy Head Light is a great walk and beautiful shoreline. Kids loved it! The ONLY “improvements”, which would not affect my five-star rating: The loft has four air mattresses (not beds). Also, I would not allow my children to stargaze in their upstairs viewing area only because it can lead to a fall if one is not careful. However, boys listened and were able to see AMAZING stars just be sitting on their deck! Would highly recommend!

Private retreat in a rugged landscape

If u haven't been to Maine before , this is the way to go. Lubec is a scenic little town where u can kayak, hike, bike, eat fresh lobster, and see your share of lighthouses and eagles. As for the house, has all the amenities u need and then some. Beautiful, clean, private, spacious, and wow what a View from the deck. Keep your eyes open for seals. We had a great week.

Simply the Best!!!

We stayed at the Helm for 2 weeks and that was not long enough! The secluded, peaceful location was exactly what we were looking for, and the house was beyond our expectations. It is huge and very well equipped for our stay. Everything was spotless and smelled fresh and wonderful. The bathrooms and laundry facilities were very spacious and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare nice meals and boil up some lobsters, which we did!! Our favorite thing was the waterfront! We ate meals out on the balcony and watched the beautiful sunsets every night - must have taken a hundred pictures. We saw a bald eagle one day and seals swimming around almost every day. We had an equal number of days that we either took little excursions and hiked or stayed at the house and read books, painted, played ping pong, foosball, board games, card games, horseshoes, or sometimes just took a nap. Absolutely perfect! Diane and Chris were great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.
