About this property

Mainley Cabin /No 🐶 Fee/ Beach front, Kayaks , fire pit!

The Mainley log cabin is our summer paradise, but we do share for a few months out of the year because the view is too good not to share! You will not find another property as well maintained and welcoming at this price point. We know that times are hard right now so we work hard to provide the best value for your hard earned money. The Mainley is a true log cabin, rustic, but very comfortable with an elevated view of Cobscook bay and Moose Island. It is perfect for nature loving couples or families of 4, with a king bed in the loft , 2 single beds in the downstairs bedroom, and one large full bath with a walk in shower . If you are looking to escape the big city life for a little while and connect with nature you will love it here. No pet fee, no weight limit on dogs and we have a very reasonable and flexible cancellation policy. We have large dogs, so we understand the frustration of not being able to find accommodations that allow dogs over 80 pounds. All well behaved dogs welcome, up to 3 dogs per booking. We accept well behaved cats upon request as well. Our cabin is furnished with big dogs in mind. It is unreasonable to ask that your dog stay off of the furniture, so we have sturdy, covered, easily cleaned furnishings. We fell in love with the massive Lubec tides, the water birds, and all of the wildflowers here and we are sure you will, too! Reserve the perfect dates for next summer now because the calendar fills up quickly with returning guests. A recent guest described the Mainley best by saying " if you want a Disney type vacation this is not for you, but if you want to commune with nature in a relaxing clutter free space this is perfect." The cabin is at the end of a long gravel driveway and is about a quarter of a mile off of North Lubec Road. It is located close to the end of the North Lubec peninsula. The location feels very remote and is surrounded by thick forest, but it is only 6 miles to the town of Lubec. Lubec is a nature lovers paradise, but the restaurants are limited, close early, and there is no night life. Summer activities shut down at the end of September, but the natural beauty of the area is still amazing. The beach is downhill from the cabin and the short walk may be difficult to navigate for older guests even though we have a wide well-maintained path. The Mainley shares a secluded beach with 2 smaller cabins. The cabins are far enough apart with large trees between them to maintain privacy. Guests from the other cabins do walk the path in front and downhill from the Mainley to get to the beach so you will see them, occasionally. The Mainley cabin has an open concept main floor with 20-foot ceilings, wood burning fireplace, large deck, screened porch, a smart TV with Spectrum basic cable, 200Mbps high speed internet and WIFI. Our cabin is a clean, rustic, but comfortable, place to relax and read a book (we have lots of them) or just enjoy the view and the sound of the tide coming in. Watch the rise and fall of the massive, 20 plus foot tides, from the elevated deck that runs the length of the house. Bring your paddle board or use our kayaks and explore the bay. To use our kayaks you must sign the waiver form in the welcome book. Walk on the rocky, beach in front of the cabin, and watch eagles, gulls, and seals. We highly recommend the whale watching tours with Down East Charters, that runs from June too mid-September, from Lubec. The guide is funny, well informed, and touring the coast lines of neighboring islands is breathtaking. This home is equipped with everything that you need for relaxing getaway. The kitchen has plenty of counter space to prepare fresh seafood, while the easy-to-use appliances and lots of cooking equipment make vacation cooking easy. If you want to enjoy outdoor dining, cook out on the portable charcoal grill and eat on the deck. Plenty of outdoor chairs to enjoy the view and a screened porch for relaxing without the bugs. There is a Peloton bike in the loft so you can work out with a view and a total fitness weight system in the basement. To use our exercise equipment you must sign the waiver form in the welcome book. With all of the wonderful hiking trails in the area and the kayaks you probably will not need to use the Peloton or the weights! This is not a beach for swimming. The current is too strong and the water is always too cold.

The Mainely Cabin
We love staying at the cabin. The owners are very friendly and quick to respond. The cabin itself is so cozy and welcoming. We love that we are able to take our two dogs as well. It’s a great place to detach from the stresses of everyday life and enjoy peace and nature.

Just wow
We were so happy with our stay and the overall service experience. The host and her property manager were extremely responsive and eager to maximize our experience. Even with bad weather and power outages they were able to attend to our comfort. The property itself is exactly as advertised and very pretty. Lots of hiking and beach and water views so nearby. We will be back!

Outstanding experience
You can 100% believe every accolade you read in the other 58 reviews and the description provided…this place is HEAVEN! Instead of repeating all the accurate, wonderful comments about the property and incredibly responsive hosts, I’ll cite some of our favorite details: impeccably clean (and we are very picky), more storage than you could ever use, champagne glasses!, bedside mini-flashlights, people and pet baskets of goodies, stocked supplies including toiletries and first aid kit, eagles flying by!, at least 8 different cozy, comfy places to relax with gorgeous views, awesome firepit with tons of seasoned wood to burn, extra fridge/freezer in basement, spacious bathroom with lovely stacks of pristine towels neatly folded in the plentiful drawers and shelves, super cool laundry chute to basement washer/dryer. Also love no big box stores anywhere, countless places to hike, Small Town Takeout lobster rolls, Monica’s chocolates, yarn/pet store next to cute ice cream/gift shop, Eastern most point in US (Quoddy) just a few miles down the road with incredible views and trails. Experiencing Reversing Falls is a must-do.

Perfect days in Mainley Cabin
From arrival to departure our stay was perfect. We enjoyed a rainy day relaxing and watching birds and tide come and go. The sunny days were great for beach walking, taking advantage of great hiking trails we could walk to right from the cabin. Cooking dinner out on the charcoal grill, enjoying dessert on the screen porch. Just a nice, quiet, week to festers and enjoy rural northern Maine in this cozy cabin.

Our Favorite Vacation!
Our trip to Lubec and at this cabin was by far the best vacation our family has taken. Lubec is such a sweet little town and the house was absolutely perfect. The house was spotless when we arrived. The setup is beautiful with the perfect loft area overlooking the water. The kids had the best time kayaking and walking the beach each day. It was so worth the long drive and we can’t wait to come back next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Damon & Jamie Martin

Host profile image
We were looking for a summer house on a lake, but when we saw this location it was love at first sight! The first night that we stayed at the cabin we found the guest book and realized that our cabins were the summer getaway for many people already. We decided to continue to share this secluded, beautiful, place with others. Our goal is to provide a place for others to create happy memories.

Why they chose this property

Location! When we first arrived it looked like a moss covered forest and then we saw the wild, rocky beach. It is so quiet and private and the stars are so clear with no light pollution from any large city.

What makes this property unique

The bay is alive and is always changing. The colors, and the light are always different and exciting. Wildlife viewing is one of our favorite pass times. Eagles, seals, blue herons, huge pileated woodpeckers, and the occasional porcupine, can be seen.
