McCollum Seaside Cottages are two quaint, 100-year-old, one bedroom, self-catering cottages situated on Moosabec Reach in a small, Maine fishing village. Rustic charm mixes with modern conveniences and gorgeous views to give visitors a comfortable retreat from the hectic world. Rent individually or together.

The Primrose Cottage is a rustic one bedroom oceanfront bungalow situated on a bluff above the shoreline of Moosebec Reach. It has a separate bedroom from the living area. Built in the early 1900's in the Craftsman style. Modern plumbing and filtered water added later. Equipped with wi-fi 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.

The cottage is a perfect spot to relax and take in the views or use as a launching point for Maine adventures. Jonesport is real Maine. This is NOT Bar Harbor. No quaint restaurants and shops. Just places to hike, explore, and relax.

Moosabec 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.

The property is completely non-smoking, both inside and outside the cottage.

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.

    What a nifty, quiet, cozy cabin. Built back in the day. Had everything needed in the kitchen and bath. Awesome view of the harbor. Right in town close to the general store. Relaxing and peaceful, small but comfortable. Gas fireplace heater was nice. If a slightly rustic old school cabin is your desire then this is it. Could easily stay a while if you like to explore. Would definitely go back.

    I booked this last minute to get away from the busyness of life and this cottage was perfect for my tranquil getaway. I could sit outside and watch all the boats go by throughout the day and enjoy all of the stars at night. The area isn’t touristy or crowded which was such a nice experience after Portland and Acadia. Just be warned that everything within 30 miles closes by 8 PM, so plan accordingly. The cottage itself was cozy and well equipped with everything that I needed. I especially appreciated the gas fireplace on a dreary cold day. The WiFi was fast enough to handle my work meetings. When I had questions Heather answered them promptly.

    The cabin was spotless. We like the idea of the bed not being made so we can actually see the matress. First time we have en ountered this. The views did not disappoint and overall very relaxing. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place foe you. You have to love the way of life here to really enjoy the area. It is beautifull, rugged and calming.

    Washington County is one of my favorite places in the western world. I was looking for a place where I could relax and reset. Primrose Cottage was just the place! The cottage is well equipped and comfortable, and food and supplies are available nearby. I visited Wass Island Preserve and took a glorious hike around the perimeter - pure joy! Challenging at times, and entirely worth the effort. All in all a lovely getaway!

    I would most definitely recommend taking a tour of the Downeast Institute on Beals Island. You can check, but at the time of this writing, tours are TH-SA 10am-2pm. Driving around Beals Island is great as well, and there are several nice hikes.

    There is so much to see and do around Jonesport. The cottage had everything we needed. We found lots of great hiking and seafood using the notes our host provided. We loved watching sunsets and yoga stretches from the porch.

    Cute little campy type cottage. You can not beat the location! Beautiful harbor views and great beach for combing beach. Tons of sea glass, but most of the glass was not seasoned enough to take....but what I did find was fabulous....with some rare colors and some with lettering. Wass Island and Roque Bluffs were awesome . Over all great place.

    The view was amazing. Our only problem was that the floors and furniture was covered in dog hair. The bedspread was dirty, when I removed it there was a huge spider. There was hair in the shower. I advised owner and she responded that she was surprised as she had used the same maid for some time and had not had any Problems.
