Mainley Cabin /Pets Welcome/ Water front / Kayaks / Stone 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 pointandthe cleaning fee is very reasonable at $100. 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.

Slice of Heaven
I wish I could write a negative review so that I can have this place all to myself. This is our second time coming to Mainley Cabin, once in October, and once in May and each time has been perfect. The owners, the manager, the house, the town. Everything is perfect about this place. Hoping to call Maine home someday.

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.

Perfect Maine Vacation
We loved our stay at the cabin! The views of Johnson's bay and Eastport were awesome. We were able to take advantage of and enjoy the fire pit and kayaks provided with the cabin. Our pup also loved the easy beach access to go swimming every day. It's a great location for exploring Lubec and the surrounding area. Our hosts are very gracious in providing many extras to make the stay most enjoyable! Highly recommend!

A beautiful cabin with a view
We loved our 6 night stay here. The cabin was as described and well furnished. They even had some basic food items and snacks which were very appreciated when we arrived after everything had closed. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked well. They even had well seasoned firewood in the basement, making fires a breeze. We'll definitely be returning.

Restful & Lovely
We had a lovely time staying at this property — the view is impeccable (sunrises through the window in the morning from the bedroom), meals on the porch, reading and relaxation on the hammock, firepits and shooting stars at night. My communication with the hosts was timely and effortless. They were incredibly helpful and warm. There are a couple of other smaller camps on the property (not in eye distance from the house) but we had several friendly run-ins with others as they made their way down to the beach. Not total seclusion but damn near close. Thank you for a lovely visit. A much needed rest - now back to work!

Beautiful home and view
I loved staying here. The house has lots of charm and a terrific view. We went to Lubec to hike and relax. If you are looking for a vacation to get away from your fast paced, busy routine, this is a great option. And the coastal views in the Lubec area cannot be beaten.
