About this property

Lupine Seaside Cottage above Shoreline with Gorgeous Views

McCollum Seaside Cottages are two quaint, one bedroom, self-catering cottages situated on Moosabec Reach in a small, Maine fishing village. Rustic charm mixes with gorgeous views to give visitors a comfortable retreat from the hectic world. Rent individually or together.

The Lupine Cottage is a rustic, studio-style cottage. It has a very rustic, small bathroom and shower and bathroom sink. Built in the early 1900's. Modern plumbing and filtered water added later. New roof put on, but the original ceiling has some interesting patterns.

Equipped with wi-fi (which can sometimes be spotty, not ideal for working and video conferencing may not work) and situated on the bluff up from the shore. Easy walk to the local library, historic society and marina. Easy drive to many points of interest including Bar Harbor, Acadia, Schoodic Point, Quoddy Head State Park and Campobello. Local hiking on Great Wass Island and Bar Island are within a ten minute drive. You can launch your sea kayaks (that you bring yourself or rent from Machias) right from the beach.

Perfect spot to relax and take in the views or use as a launching point for Maine adventures. Eagles, seals, porcupines, and other birds are often seen out front.

The cottage is located on a bank above the shoreline. Moosebec Reach is a working lobster boat harbor. The shore/beach is perfect for hunting for sea glass, discovering things that wash ashore and watching for seals and eagles, not for swimming or playing in the sand. Water is very cold. Tides are about 15 feet, so shore looks very different between high and low tides. We call this "real Maine". There are no quaint restaurants or shops, but lots of hiking and relaxing.

Please note that the property is completely non-smoking. Any smoking must be done off property, either on the road/sidewalk before the property or on the beach below.

Please note that one must walk through uneven grass from the parking area and go up 3-4 steps to enter the cottage. It is not accessible to people with difficulty walking.

A new larger bathroom (though still small) is being put on this fall (2023).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect getaway

If you want to experience the authentic Maine Coast, this is the place to go. Charming cottage right on the water's edge. This is a working harbor, so you awaken to the sound of the lobster boats leaving at dawn.

Property as described. Clean basic lodging at an affordable price with an excellent view of Moosabec reach and surrounding islands. We used the Lupine cottage as a starting point to go south to Bar Harbor one day and then North up to Lubec/Eastport the next day. Excellent communication with the host, I would definitely stay again. I did not use the WiFi but the only thing I would add is a smart tv so you could stream your own apps. There are several CD’s to watch.

A Haven of a Place...

The Lupine Seaside Cottage is a haven... Even if you have never been here before coming through the door you are embraced with a feeling of home. A place that feeds all the senses... the salty sea air, the ocean breeze, the tides, the activity of the harbor, a cup of joe on the deck a truly soul soothing experience.

Beautiful Location

Had a great stay. Property was as advertised. Very simple, and clean with all necessities. Location was stunning and very close to everything I wanted. Extremely quiet. Host was excellent and quick at all communication. Not for someone who wants a vacation with shopping and dining out nearby, but for someone who wants some tranquility and excellent outdoor opportunities, this is it!

Cozy Oceanside retreat

Loved our stay at the cozy Lupine Cottage. Relaxing on the deck and enjoying the view was fantastic. Day trips to Winter Harbor, Bar Harbor, Jasper Beach, Roque Bluffs and Lubec were wonderful. Boat trip from Lubec to see Old Sow Whirlpool, a Finn Whale, seals, a Bald Eagle was fantastic. An of course fresh Lobster from the pier. Life doesn’t get any better. Highly recommend.

Quaint, cute little cottage

Quaint, cute little cottage with beautiful view. 1 room and a bathroom. Bed is somewhat small not really big enough for more than one adult. Small TV with basics where you can play DVDs on the DVD player or stream if you have a laptop and HDMI cable. Bed cover was stained and sheets not on bed. About half hour to 45 minutes away from any food or essentials you might need. Beach not usable for anything like swimming. Would be nicer if cottage were updated eventually.

Rustic - very clean and in top working condition - a great retreat!

I loved this cottage. It was clean and neat with everything working and in order. Sheets and towels were provided which was nice. If you go in cold weather, know that the thermostat works the gas stove. I didn't know that until my last night. It gets cold in Maine in autumn. Fantastic views! Unfortunately, I only had one day of sunny autumn Maine, but even with the cold and rain, I enjoyed the area, the hikes, and the friendly people. You are only 30 minutes from visiting Campo Bello.

Quiet and relaxing

The cottage has a wonderful view. We loved the area. This cottage would be a great place to buy a bunch of groceries and hunker down for a few days. But also there are many things to do not to far away. We went to Machias and Lubec to explore and also made it to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

A lovely one-room cottage on the water in Jonesport. Very relaxing and peaceful. Those with mobility issues may have difficulties using the toilet, which is located in a tiny closet (less space than in an airliner). Otherwise, a delightful getaway.

Amazing view right on the ocean!

Such a quaint cozy cabin with an AMAZING view! Easy access to the beach, beautiful sunrises as well as sunsets! Cabin includes "everything needed" for a vacation stay. Short travel to Machia's hot spots (Helen's Restaurant & The French Cellar, Rogues Bluff and Jasper Beach to name a few) All communications with Heather prior to and @ check in were so positive! Heather has a thorough binder highlighting high/low tides/sunrise/sunsetimes and so many places you might want to take a day trip to. My only complaint was I did not book a long enough stay! Can't wait to return next year! I can't thank Heather enough for sharing her little slice of heaven on Maines beautiful coastline! Sharon

Beautiful Oceanside: Off the Grid!

The cottage is right on a short bluff overlooking the harbor. There are stair right to the beach, which is great for beachcombing. We had our 12 year-old son who loved to look for crabs and shells. We watched the lobster boats come and go everyday. There's a small table to sit on the deck and some chairs to take down to the beach. The inside of the cottage is rustic but clean. It had everything we needed. There's a small grocery store about a mile outside of town that has basically everything you need. We drove to Machias (about 30 minutes) and had the most delicious lobster roll at Helen's Restaurant. This was a great day trip. We also packed lunches and hiked Great Wass- again a great day trip. There's a sand beach about 5 miles outside of town that we spent a day at, too. If you like the outdoors, and enjoy a simpler-type vacation, this is a must!

Cozy waterfront cottage

While weather was not great the cottage was cozy and a welcome retreat after being out and about in foggy, rainy weather. Jonesport is a small fishing town and we were prepared to drive as needed for any activities. Had the weather been nicer we would have enjoyed staying closer and enjoying oceanfront scenery. Anyone staying there should be prepared to drive 30 min in any direction for others sites, restaurants etc., Overall, a nice getaway and Heather was always very responsive to all our questions about our trip.

About the host

Hosted by Heather McCollum

Host profile image
Braden and Heather McCollum bought the cottages in 2011. Originally owned by the McCollum family, they were thrilled to be able to buy them back. When they are not residing next to the cottages during the summer, they reside in North Carolina. They both attended the University of Maine at Machias, and Braden's grandfather was born and raised on the property.

Why they chose this property

The McCollum Cottages date back to the early 1900's when their used to be around 8 of them. They are situated on a bluff above Moosabec Reach on McCollum Road, overlooking McCollum Beach. Given this history - the McCollums needed to get them back in the family and make them available for others to enjoy again!!

What makes this property unique

Situated on a bluff along the ocean in the heart of a working fishing community, these cottages allow you to escape, relax, and explore in a comfy safe environ offering stunning views. Jonesport is NOT Bar Harbor. There are no quaint restaurants, breweries, and shops. This is "real Maine." Come for hiking and exploring and relaxing.
