HIGHTIDE! A waterfront downeast retreat adjacent to West Quoddy Head State Park
HighTide (https://www.quoddy.house/hightide) is a small waterfront retreat located on West Quoddy Head, overlooking South Lubec Bay and Campobello Island. It is the most eastern private property in the continental United States, and is immediately adjacent to West Quoddy State Park with its iconic lighthouse and extensive hiking trails. Nestled in the woods on the eastern side of the 26 acre 1840’s Quoddy House estate (https://www.quoddy.house), the decks at HighTide provide spectacular views out east on to the Bay of Fundy, or to the north towards the town of Lubec. Guests share access to the extensive private Quoddy House beach, via their own path to the beach, and have separate drive-in access at 863 South Lubec Road. The property is bordered on the north by the water (Lubec Channel) and on the east and south by West Quoddy Head State Park. HighTide provides guests with a unique opportunity to spend their time in Maine surrounded by nature, nestled in the coastal spruce forest, with beautiful views of the water and soaring eagles overhead, all literally a stone’s throw from the hiking paths and coastal vistas of West Quoddy Head State Park. Its no more than an easy 15 minute walk to the West Quoddy Lighthouse. Here, you can have a truly unique vacation!
HighTide accommodates a maximum of 4 persons. Please note that HighTide may not be suitable for all - access to the living area on the second floor is from the second story deck, with an interior spiral staircase leading to the sleeping quarters on the third floor. While the views of Campobello Island, South Lubec Bay, and the Bay of Fundy from the second and third floor decks are truly spectacular, young children should be closely supervised.

High Tide was amazing! The place itself was great -everything that we needed, superb views, and abutting Quoddy Head state park. The beach was right below us, there were fields that were great for star gazing. Really couldn't ask for more than this for a vacation rental!
We had a tremendous week at High Tide. Stan is a communicative host with a beautiful property. The house is situated to provide stunning views over the water, which was a highlight of our trip.
Our host Stan was fantastic. He was in touch with us immediately and was easily available to answer any questions. Hightide was a perfect base for exploring the area. We enjoyed coming back to relax and enjoy the property and watch the water and stars from the deck or down by the shore. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing quiet retreat.
The house was very cozy. We loved all the windows providing lots of sunlight and gorgeous views. The location was absolutely stunning! So peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed the little beach accessible from the property and hiking the many trails nearby. Stan was great. He kept in touch with us before, during and after our stay to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We highly recommend!
We had a terrific week at HighTide! The location was a convenient home base for exploring the trails in West Quoddy Head State Park, Cobscook Shores, and Roosevelt Campobello International Park. In the mornings, and after a day outdoors, we enjoyed relaxing at the house, with its beautiful view. The house is thoughtfully designed and equipped with all the basics and more. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was spotless. Stan was an excellent communicator and guide to the area. Highly recommended!
Thank your for your review, JT! It was great to meet you this summer. We hope to see you back at HighTide again in the future!
