About this property

The Bluffs Cottage

Come enjoy our 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with beautiful attached 3 season sunroom, BBQ grill and fire pit. This is located just one half mile from the Roque Bluffs State Park Beach. Sit in the back yard and hear the waves rolling in at the beach. Very tranquil. It’s a 2 min drive or 10 min walk. You can see the local wildlife right in the back yard. We have beautiful sunsets in this tranquil location. Just a mile past the beach is our local wharf where u can sit on the wharf or the sea wall and enjoy the spectacular sunsets. Purchase fresh caught lobsters or fresh dug clams right from our local fisherman. If u enjoy duck hunting season, come enjoy some of the best sea duck hunting anywhere. Down at our local wharf just 3 minutes from the cottage, launch your boat and see hundreds of sea ducks right in our bay. Hiking trails are located beside the beach and the local pond directly across from the beach. Our state park beach doesn’t allow dogs but the pond directly across the street does. Enjoy hiking, biking, kyaking, canoeing or just relaxing. Atv trails and snowmobile trails are 8 miles from the house. They are incredible ITS trails. There is satellite tv, internet, and also has DVD player and DVD’s for viewing. Or just come enjoy leaf peeping season and spectacular blueberry fields that change red during the fall season. We have Welch’s blueberry farm just around the corner to go and enjoy the experience of a working blueberry farm. We have some breath taking foliage. And some beautiful trails to ride. Our town of Machias is just 8 miles away with some fantastic local restaurants. Lots of places to visit in our outlying areas. We have Quoddy Head lighthouse just a 45 min drive. Bar harbor with Acadia national park is an hour and a half away. Come enjoy or sit by the fire pit at night and enjoy listening to the ocean. If you have pets, the pet fee is required to be paid.

The cottage was well equipped. Had everything we needed from dishes to toiletries. Our host thought of everything! Even fresh baked blueberry bread!Also enjoyed the fact the bedrooms were on opposite ends of the cottage.I was worried the house was so close to the road but it was no an issue. No road noise and rarely saw many cars pass.Loved that the beach was a 15-20 minute walk away or a couple of minutes by car. And the town of Machias just a short ride.Would return again!Thanks Maggie!!

Great stay at the Bluffs Cottage!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Bluffs Cottage on our recent tour. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped for our needs, and attractively decorated. We appreciated being able to eat breakfast outside at the back of the cottage when the weather was dry and warm. Indoors it did feel a bit dim on the one foggy day during our stay, particularly in the living room but also in the kitchen/dining area.We spent one day exploring nearby, including the walk to the Roque Bluffs State Park and along the road to the bay beyond. We were interested to find the local museum open at the Gates House in Machiasport, which was fascinating as it helped us to learn about the history of the area too. We took a trip to Lubec and went whale watching, which was excellent on a sunny day in combination with a visit to the Old Sow whirlpool. We would love to stay in the cottage again if we were ever back in the area. We saw deer outside the cottage a couple of times, and from a British birdwatcher's point of view it was good to see several species from or close by the cottage that we would not find in the UK.
