Thanks so much for your review and we hope to see you again!
The cottage is lovely and very comfortable exactly as advertised. The view of the bay is wonderful and made relaxing on the porch a favorite spot. The hosts were very informative and pleasant to communicate with. We highly recommend this rental.

Beautiful little cottage right on the water. Had everything we needed. Close to town. Very clean and well decorated. Price was reasonable to say the least. Hosts were pleasant, and quick to respond to all my questions. Would definitely book this again.

Great view of the sunsets and Johnson Bay. The place looks great. You can tell everything is new. The windows, doors, cabinets and kitchen appliances, etc. —everything is high end and good quality.

Thank very much for your comments! Glad you enjoyed your stay and you’re welcome back any time!
Thank you for making our rental so special. The location was phenomenal with awesome views that made for amazing sunsets and peaceful mornings. Surprisingly quiet in spite of being on a main road, the house had everything we needed. We appreciated all the thoughtful details like sugar for coffee/tea and covered ice cube trays filled with ice! It was very clean and comfortable. For one of the hottest days of the year in Lubec, the house was cool when we came on Friday. Saturday we just opened up the windows in the evening to let in the cool ocean air. Sleeping was comfortable with the fans. We were able to find lunch and groceries nearby in Lubec which was very convenient. The fireworks vantage point was perfect on the 3rd! It was such a fun place to stay and we enjoyed the decor! Our hosts were very responsive to any messages we sent during our stay and we have no complaints. Looking forward to returning!

About the host
Hosted by Jim and Sue Rockwell
We moved to the area from New York in 2013, having fallen in love with it in 2006 and purchased our home that same year. Although there isn’t extensive health care nearby, we feel as though we moved here for our health! The air and water is outstanding, and the stress level is noticeably lower. We like to share our adopted habitat with others and take great pleasure in being able to provide romantic getaways for guests on a budget.
Why they chose this property
It has been said that Lubec is “a place that time has not reached yet.” It is quiet and very much has a throwback feel. No hustle and bustle, not much else to do but to relax and enjoy. And it has been said of Lubec sunsets that “no artist in colors bright could paint the sky that way.” We love all this and love it equally much when our guests feel the same way!
What makes this property unique
We bought this property in 2010 and have been renting it out ever since. In 2024 we built a new cottage, mostly to increase the size and to make it a four-season property. Not many residences in Lubec are as new as ours and equipped with state-of-the-art furnishings and utilities. And it’s closer to the water than before!
