Whether you are looking for a place to relax and watch the working lobster boats or gearing up for a day of hiking, McCollum House is a comfortable self-catering haven full of vintage charm as well as modern conveniences. Built in the 1890’s, McCollum House has been maintained and loved by the McCollum Clan since the 1950’s. Three full bedrooms (one bedroom is a bunk room which holds up to six kids) and two full bathrooms easily allow for a large family trip or two families vacationing together.

Fully furnished with all linens and kitchen wares provided. Full sized washer and dryer make longer stays comfortable. Stocked with a collection of books, indoor games and yard games. Internet connection is available. Easy walk to the quaint library across the street and the Historical Society Museum at the pier. Easy day trip to Bar Harbor (1.5 hour drive), New Brunswick, Campobello (1.5 hours), Quoddy Head Lighthouse (1 hour), and Acadia Park.

McCollum House is a lovely place to have tea and blueberry pie on the back deck while the kids hunt for sea glass on the rocky/sandy beach below. Situated on the bank above the Moosabec Reach, you can enjoy the lupines and primroses growing up the bank as well as peaceful views across the water to Beals Island, play croquette on the lawn or rent kayaks nearby. Perfect for photography, painting or just curling up with a good book.

If more beds are needed, two seaside cottages (Downeast Seaside Cottage) are adjacent to the property for rent. Perfect for extended family. Please inquire.

    This wonderful home has a beautiful view and great access to the beach. The deck offers a chance to eat all your meals al fresco. The kitchen is extremely well provisioned. There were only 4 in our party but it is easy to envision a full house of 10. Will definitely plan to rent again. The hosts respond quickly to questions.

    We love this property and will come back every year, if we can!! The house has everything you need and lots of room. The beachfront is ideal for treasure-hunting and fun for all! Thanks to Heather for sharing her family home.

    Our stay in this beautiful home was wonderful! The house was very clean and had an amazing view. The beach was only a few short steps away, and it was fun to watch the boats out on the water. Jonesport is a quiet, friendly town with beautiful views and several places to hike. We would love to stay here again!

    We love downeast Maine and wanted to be able to easily access the area from Schoodic to Lubec. This cottage was the perfect location between the two and in the heart of blueberry country. It had everything we needed to make our stay very enjoyable. We loved the big picture window in the kitchen where we watched the birds every morning. With restaurants in the immediate area limited, the kitchen was perfect for cooking-in with modern appliances and cooking supplies. Would definitely stay here again.

    After the death of a close family member Jonesport and McCollum House was just what I needed to regroup. Jonesport isn’t a bustling community, but the sound of lobster boats in the early morning, and just sitting on the deck overlooking the Reach was healing. The home is clean, well equipped and the hosts very accommodating. If you’d like to decompress Jonesport is the perfect place.

    You’ll awake to the soft sound of lobster boats leaving the Reach and from there it’s up to you. If you’re into hustle and bustle head over to Bar Harbor or if you prefer quieter pursuits try a shoreline hike, or harvesting mussels on Great Wass for dinner. The hosts are attentive and welcoming and the home is well appointed if cooking is your thing. There’s nothing like being in “The Real Maine East of Ellsworth.”

    Off the beaten path, away from all of the hubbub. This place is a beautiful two story home in a small, quiet town. We really enjoyed the view of the ocean from our bedroom and kitchen window! I am so happy to have chosen this place for our stay in Maine. It was not far from town and if you drive a little futher, you will reach the busy, tourist area of Bar Harbor. Great Wass Island was not a let down at all and I would love to go back!

    Very clean. Nice view from the kitchen and deck. A nice, well-equipped kitchen for those who like to cook. Good chairs for people who like to read. Great for people -- such as I -- who like to swim in cold water. The area -- Washington County, Maine -- is a joy for its scenery and clean air. Lots of places within 40 minutes to go for beautiful walks. What was a plus for me that might not be ideal for others? Not many restaurants close by. Plan on cooking at home, at least for a few meals.
