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, butthe 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).

    This place is absolutely magical. This made our anniversary something we will remember and cherish for the rest of our lives. Our Host wasn't just a host. She was a kind friend. She welcomed us so graciously with homemade blueberry crumb coffee cake and a wonderful note and greeting from the pup. The wife and I could not dream of a better vacation or experience. Minutes from Beals and Great Wass and short drives from Acadia and major tourism areas. If we could give ten stars, we would!

    A very fine place to stay. It is basically one room, but it has everything that you need. The view is wonderful and the hosts are very nice people. Sitting on the porch after a day's worth of adventures was a delight.

    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.

    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.

    Cute cottage overlooking the harbor. Great access to Great Wass Island and many other mid-coast towns and hikes. We had a great time and loved watching the boats come in and out of the harbor.

    This was a quiet and beautiful getaway and had everything needed to enjoy the little escape. Had to reach out to the hosts for check-in information but they were very responsive.
