Welcome to Bear Beach Maine! If you are looking for a cozy yet spacious and extremely well-appointed home nestled peacefully in the woods and directly on a secluded, sandy beach this is your place! From the moment you walk through the door you will feel warmly greeted by this log home designed to resemble an early American lodge. The open concept great room with its cathedral ceiling, large field-stone fireplace and comfy furnishings are equally favorable for both larger gatherings and intimate parties of two. The sunlight streams through the expansive windows in the afternoon. Enjoy a fire, a glass of wine or hot chocolate and a good book or movie on the Blu-ray/DVD player for a perfect day of relaxation. There are two dining areas within the open concept, each with expandable leaves allowing plenty of room for meal time guests or family game nights. The hutch/book case contains enough games and puzzles to make even a rainy or snowy day enjoyable. Or head to the basement for a game of Foosball or ping pong (Some call it beer pong). A wooden folding table next to the hutch can be set up as a "working vacation" desk...Sometimes its needed. We do have free wifi! In the kitchen you will find nearly everything imaginable to make gourmet meals or heat up a frozen dinner. From spices to a lobster pot, cast iron cookware, electric griddle, both Keurig and regular coffee makers, microwave, toaster, crock pot, wine cooler with lots of beverage glasses! If something is missing, you probably just have not found it yet. Sleep soundly in the master queen bed to the sound of the ocean or to a crackling fire in the master fireplace. But first, unwind in the warmth of the claw foot soaking tub in the connecting bathroom. On the same level, in the other wing of the house, are two bedrooms and the second full bathroom. Both have queen beds, one also has an ocean view with sliding doors to the covered oceanfront deck where you can sip your morning coffee while listening to the sounds of sea birds and lobster boats. The spacious loft with four twin beds overlooks the great room and has stunning views of the ocean and also the back yard. Arguably, the most fun part of the house is not even IN the house. The Bare Den is located in the back yard and houses the sauna with cool-down room (open all year) and also the out-door shower (open seasonally). Nothing is as refreshing as taking a warm shower in the open air while watching the ocean and an occasional bald eagle flying overhead. Its also great for rinsing off sandy feet or pets! And at the end of a day, relaxing every muscle in the heat of the sauna and cooling down with an icy beverage is simply magical. Bear Beach Maine is located on Holmes Bay in the town of Cutler. Because the house faces West on the bay, it enjoys the most gorgeous sunsets over the ocean. Relax on the front deck with a glass of wine, chilled cocktail or cup of coffee and its hard not to reflect on the many blessings of the day as the sun falls below the horizon. Head down the staircase in front of the house to the sandy beach. Enjoy long walks along the varying shoreline at lower tide, or have kayaks delivered to the house from Sunrise Canoe and Kayak to view the coast from a whole different perspective. Pack a picnic lunch and kayak over to Hog Island a 15-20 minute paddle from the front of the house. A short hike around the island will have you searching for the Indian rock carvings (petroglyphs) which were pecked into ledges hundreds of years ago by the Algonquin Indians. These unique carvings are located on the southwest side of the island and are engraved into the latent shale stone. If you do find the need to leave the house (like to get lobsters) head just a few miles out to Little River Lobster in the town of Cutler and watch your dinner come straight from the ocean to your table! At the end of our road, stop by A to Z Variety and pick up some freshly-harvested clams right from Holmes Bay! Add to that an amazing selection of fine wine and beer from all over the world (and local varieties) at the French Cellar in Machias, and you will have a meal to remember! Be sure to click on the video (the last picture when scrolling through the pictures at the top) to get a better idea of the flow of the house and property. Or check out this link http://www.youtube.com/embed/cQskAauhVVc?rel=0 Other fun suggestions: Cutler Harbor is considered one of the prettiest little harbors in Maine. And there you will find The Bold Coast Charter Company where Captain Andy Patterson can take you to Machias Seal Island to view the largest puffin colony along the coast of Maine. His tours book up very fast, so book early! A few miles further toward the town of Milbridge, Robertson Sea Tours offers a number of unique and very educational tours including a whale-watching tour. Captain Robertson was a teacher who followed his dream of owning a tour company and becoming a commercial fisherman. He knows how to impart his knowledge and love of the ocean area to others! Bear Beach Maine is also only a few minutes drive from two of the most spectacular ocean-side hiking trails on the east coast, the Western Head Trail (located on the west side of Cutler harbor) and the Bold Coast Trail (located just to east of Cutler harbor). Both of these hikes expose area guests to some of Maine's most rugged and bold crashing-surf shorelines east of Acadia. Guests can also visit scenic Lubec where West Quoddy Head light house is located and its wonderful coastal hiking trail.

There is a Rite-Aid, bank, several gas stations, and some great local family restaurants that you won’t want to miss! From Seacliff, you can follow a winding dirt road that starts right after Seacliff and leads to idyllic views and a natural gravel bar that leads to Starboard Island.

While most of our guests have been retired artists and musicians and dreamers, it's a great spot for solo vacationers, couples or small families. THE BEACH COTTAGE: THE GREAT ROOM --Soaring cathedral ceiling with ceiling fan --Windows to the water on three sides --50" SMART television with DirectTV --SMART DVD player --Small drop leaf table with 4 chairs FULL KITCHEN --Large breakfast bar with four stools --Full sized refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, gas (propane) stove --Fully stocked with pots/pans, dishes and glassware for 6 --Keurig Coffee maker, blender, waffle iron, stand mixer, lobster pot, plus other fun kitchen tools. FIRST FLOOR BATHROOM --Tub/shower combo --Stackable washer/dryer FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM --Queen bed with memory foam mattress. We use fluffy duvets with freshly washed covers. MASTER BEDROOM LOFT --King bed with a pillow-top mattress - fluffy duvets with freshly washed covers and crisp sheets. --Small sitting area overlooking the harbor UPSTAIRS BATH --small half bath For Kidlets - We offer outlet covers, high chair and pack and play upon request. We also have board games and outdoor games like bocce and cornhole. We also have fun activities like scavenger hunts and ice cream makers. (However, the property is not childproofed and waterfront, so proper supervision is necessary, of course). THE YARD The yard is a waterfront, park-like lawn, meadow and gardens. The large, one acre yard also houses our glamping retreat, Camp From-Away, which sleeps a maximum of 2 people (opening summer 2020). Each cottage has its own yard space separated by a privacy fence. Generally, the only part of the yard that is shared is a six foot access path in between the two cottages to a sandy entry point to the water (the property also abuts a public rocky beach for additional access). Depending on the time of year that you visit, the gardens may be in full bloom -- I'd love to take credit, but they were planted by the prior owner -- quite frankly, I'm surprised I've been able to, not only keep them alive, but actually thrive. Behind the old boatlaunch is an easy access to launch a kayak (shared access with property next door). All of our property is SMOKE FREE. OTHER THINGS TO NOTE I am a local real estate agent and property manager and am usually within 30 minutes of the cottage, should you need assistance with anything during your stay (unless I am traveling myself). We have many guests who seek out our cottage, specifically because it's tidal. WHAT EXACTLY DOES IT MEAN TO BE ON A TIDAL HARBOR IN DOWNEAST MAINE? We are very close to the Bay of Fundy, in Canada, which has the highest tidal ranges in the world and is one of the seven wonders of the world. These extreme tidal areas are the reasons many tourists come to these spots- not only for the phenomenon of the extreme tides but also for the amazing bird watching as well as the sea creatures drawn to the area. Twice a day, the water recedes almost completely from the harbor, and twice a day, water fills the basin. It’s fascinating to see the fishermen access their traps by driving their truck directly on the ocean floor in the middle of the harbor during low tide, just where boats had been a few hours before. We have a ton of information on things to do in the area -- puffin tours, great pie, things to do with kids, etc. on our property website which can be found via internet search. NEAREST BEACHES: ***Finn Beach -- adjacent to cottage - a short, rocky beach where fishermen launch their dayboats. (not a swimming beach). ***Jasper Beach - 1 mile ***Greys Beach - 2 miles ***Roque Bluffs State Park beach - 12 miles LOCATION INFORMATION Bucks Harbor is the working fishing/lobstering village in the town of Machiasport, Maine. You will hear the chug-chug-chug of the boats in the harbor and the caw of the gulls and breathe in the salty ocean air. The harbor is filled with fishing and other commercial vessels and floats piled with lobster traps. You never know what kind of boat will be pulled up on the beach or moored in the harbor. Across the water, you will see the commercial pier loading and unloading often at the salmon farm. Both across the water and sometimes, just across the street, you might hear the bahhh of sheep as they graze the various surrounding fields. The Frisky Fish is also just under a mile to the world famous Jasper Beach with it's melodious and unique music from the waves hitting the rocks. A must not miss experience. GETTING AROUND The Frisky Fish is approximately 10 miles from the nearest town of Machias with a grocery store, restaurants including the famous -Helens, known for their delicious blueberry pie , -The French Cellar - a wine and cheese store, -Whole Life Natural Foods & Cafe, etc. You can walk to the nearest lobster pound - BBS Lobster Trap, just around the corner and over the hill (although, then again, if you walk, you'll have to walk back home carrying a dinner that may be a little rambunctious) or visit "Mother Shuckers Lobsters" in Roque Bluffs on your way home from a day at the state park and sandy beach. Both lobster options are fresh off the boat. We are approximately one hour from the Canadian border (bring your passport) -- extraordinary day trips can be taken to St. Andrews, Campobello Island and St. John. We are approximately two hours from Acadia National Park main entrance and Bar Harbor (translate.... two hours Away from the TRAFFIC and CROWDS of Bar Harbor). Or consider Winter Harbor and Schoodic -- the quiet side of Acadia, about an hour away, an easy day trip. Both Eastport and Lubec are less than an hour drive. For hiking closer to home, there are extraordinary hiking trails all around. We are about two hours from Bangor Int'l Airport and about four hours from the Portland Jetway. We have many guests to the area who fly into Portland and meander up the coast, stopping for lunch or dinner in one of the myriad seaside towns. Please make sure of your plans. While we have a 60 day cancellation policy, VRBO/Homeaway service fees are generally non-refundable. Please note: Quotes generated by the VRBO system are usually, but not 100%, accurate so quotes (very occasionally) may need to be altered before/during booking.

The land is the safe place for your heart; the sea is the wild place for your spirit; the sky is the imaginative place for your dreams. With all three right in front of you, you will feel that this is the place for you. The Frisky Fish Cottage sits on a small cove close to the water with a shoreline of roughly 125 feet. Internal and external views of the outside blend into each other; choose the panorama either from the comfort of the sofa or from adirondack chairs outside by the fire pit. From every window or from the unbounded ‘window,’ the view from the sea predominates. When you lay down for a nap, you may see a receded waterline with fishermen driving by in their trucks; when you wake up, you may hear the lapping waters of the incoming tide and watch those same fishermen riding out on their boats. The cottage is small enough to charm but not large enough to overwhelm with its one and half stories. From the loft, look out over the welcoming living room with its cathedral-like ceilings. The open concept design allows the sunlight to dazzle you from the wide windows that overlook the water. The kitchen and a breakfast bar are tucked in a corner - hidden away to be useful but not to intrude on the main grandeur. Or turn to the tastefully decorated loft bedroom with its attached half-bath. A downstairs bedroom and a full bath (with laundry facilities) complete the accommodations. Whether you come here to relax or to work, billowing breezes, beckoning beaches, spectacular sunsets, winter wonders, available amenities and convenient conveniences complete the possibilities.

Private, no neighbors in sight! A paradise for nature lovers. The property is surrounded by birch trees. The dramatic tide changes make the bay view very interesting at any given hours. Interior is set up with mid century chic in mind: simple but comfortable. 2 bedrooms plus a room that can be set as a bedroom accommodate 6 people comfortably. Two full bathrooms. Full kitchen with all you need to cook a gourmet meal. Open floor concept makes the space welcoming!

If you are looking for an experience that reflects the Maine of your childhood…a simpler time, with no cruise ships full of tourists, no bumper to bumper traffic, no tourist trap restaurants or gift shops full of Made in China souvenirs then read on…. This is your opportunity to escape climate change, when you come to Lubec it will be 75 degrees while the rest of the country is 100 degrees. Clean, salty, crisp ocean breeze keeps Lubec temperate and naturally comfortable.

A tiny main street provides all the basic necessities…a coffee shop, several restaurants, a couple of classic Maine seafood shacks, and a quaint grocery store. Lubec was recently rated as one of America’s top 10 beach towns by Town and Leisure. You can catch a passenger ferry at the town pier to visit Eastport for a fun day trip or you can opt for a fascinating day of whale watching…to experience the abundance of whales, multitudes of birds, seals and dolphin that populate the native waters.

You enter the property at magnificent stone outcropping with gate and travel down a 1/2 mile winding drive to the main house which is perched 100 feet above the ocean with views across the sea. A wrap around deck leads you to world class views uncluttered by ANY other houses. In fact your closest neighbor is invisible…and a half of a mile away.

The guest bedroom is the most modestly sized bedroom in the house with a comfortable queen bed and a luxury Rubelli clad chaise lounge. The media room on the lower level is a naturally cooled media cave with cloud sofa seating and Clarence House swivel rockers to enjoy the 86" flat screen.

In addition to the remarkable view, our guests enjoy complete solitude — there's only one other home remotely visible and it's across the cove about a mile away. The Prowhouse fits 4 people comfortably. The master bedroom has large windows with a dizzying view over the cliff to the ocean floor below. The second bedroom is smaller but is very cozy; it's walls are covered with blue and gold-colored nautical maps of New England. The downstairs has a handsome living room, dining area, kitchen and bathroom. The style of the home's decor is a mix of mid-century modern and nautical aesthetic, i.e. lots vintage furnishings in teak and brass. While the Prowhouse is newly renovated with all modern amenities, you'll feel as if you've stepped into the 50s or 60s when you walk through the door. For instance, you'll find furniture, art, and design by mid-century Modernists Paul McCobb, Norman Cherner, Percival Lafer, and Curtis Jere. A library corner contains a Danish desk, vintage books, an old rotary phone, an Olivetti typewriter, and a classic Thorens turntable. Most of the paintings and photographs throughout the house are unconventional takes on natural and nautical themes. (Don't expect twee paintings of sea captains and lighthouses when the real deal is just outdoors.) When the sun is out and the weather warm, enjoy the Prowhouse's spacious deck and picnic table at the cliff's edge. The Prowhouse grounds are fun to explore with small paths threading through the trees, along the cliff's edge, up stone steps and into small gorges. House Details: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom Guests have access to the entire home, except the cellar. Amenities include a new washer, dryer, and gas stove as well as a coffee maker, grinder, blender, microwave, waffle iron, lobster pot, and all kitchen essentials. You'll find a BBQ grill out on the deck along with chairs and loungers. The bathroom is on the first floor and has a shower (no tub). All linens are included as well as bathroom amenities. Please note: the smaller bedroom, which is right next to the master bed upstairs, doesn't have its own door due to the home's quirky architecture, but when the master bedroom door is shut, the second bedroom becomes private by default. Hope that makes some sense. About the area: Machiasport, according to the popular travel guide Lonely Planet, is the 'real Downeast.' So if you stay here, don't expect crowds of camera-toting tourists ( you'll find those 1.5 hours south of us in Bar Harbor.) Machiasport, instead, is for those seeking an intimate and authentic experience of Maine coast culture. The experience first unfolds from the seat of your car; Port Road, leading from the town of Machias to Machiasport, is quiet and unassuming but full of character. The road meanders past marshes, woods, and mudflats; passes stacks of lobster traps, lopsided barns and lobster boats, and resident homes of varying repair and personality. We love trips in and out of town. So will you. Just off the end of Port Road, and down Rose Lane (a quarter mile dirt road through the trees), you'll find the Prowhouse perched atop Rose Ledge. While the home's location is wonderfully idyllic surrounded by acres of trees and wildlife — it's hardly idle; Howards Cove will serve as your own private seaside-theater, presenting you daily with a small parade of lobster boats, seabirds, seals, kayakers, and dramatically expressive clouds. Looking out our windows or standing on Rose Ledge, you'll also see Cutler's distant radio towers that twinkle at night; you'll catch the silhouette of salmon farms against the sea, and, a little farther afield, you'll discover Libby Island Lighthouse whose intermittent flash and foghorn add ambiance to your stay. (Did I say foghorn? Yes, indeed I did. The price we Mainers pay for such traditional New England iconography is, of course, the existence of fog. However, if you're a fan of the Scottish Highlands or misty, medieval forests carpeted in thick mosses and dark tree trunks, you'll find the foggy days an authentic part of the Downeast package. The Prowhouse is surrounded by 50 acres of woods and wildlife, including some rocky beaches complete with caves and vertiginous cliffs. Wildlife seen around the property include bald eagles, seals, deer, porcupine, harbor porpoises, foxes, and even moose. As mentioned before, the Prowhouse is perched upon one such cliff called Rose Ledge (named, like Rose Lane, after the Rose family.) Perhaps 'Blueberry Ledge' would be more fitting since in August the ledge is hued in swaths of blueberries. Pick some in the morning and have blueberry pancakes for breakfast. The Prowhouse faces the east so the sunrise is truly spectacular. A clear night sky showcases the Milky Way — or a full moon mirrored by the sea. Beaches: there's a traditional white sand beach 15 minutes away at Roque Bluffs state park. But Howards Cove features more distinctive Downeast geography including a brown sand beach and a cave (melodramatically named Devil's Oven), as well as dozens of shaggy, seaweed-strewn tidal pools and impressive Acadia-esque rock formations — all within walking distance of the Prowhouse. The real gem of our area is, however, Jasper Beach. One of two beaches in the world consisting entirely of polished stones, this surreal beach is just 2+ minutes drive up the road. Feel free to go to Jasper Beach and collect a couple of these handsome stones for souvenirs or explore the cove with your kayak. Bring a picnic lunch and listen to the strange, burbling sound of the surf as it crashes over the stones. Beyond Howards Cove are the following areas of interest: Starboard Cove: a sleepy, former shipyard good for a morning stroll. Walking distance or short drive from the house. Point of Maine: a slightly longer walk beyond Starboard. More beaches. Quiet and unassuming residential area. More views of the sea. Bucks Harbor: working harbor where you can buy fresh lobster at BBS lobster pound. 5 minutes drive up Port Road. Yurts: search online for The Yurt Foundation for info. A 7 minute drive + 2 mile walk through the woods to a small yurt community. Your hosts can provide directions. Petroglyphs on Clarks Point: ask your hosts about where to search for these historic glyphs made by Passamaquoddy Indians. Roque Bluffs: state park and beach (swimming, kayaking, picnics and hikes) Machias: for restaurants, kayak rentals, local entertainment, and supplies (17 minutes up Port Rd.) Hosts the famed Blueberry Festival in August. Daytrips: - Cutler (for access to the spectacular Bold Coast hiking trails and Puffin tours) - Gardner Lake (fresh water swimming) - Lubec and Campobello Island (This is Canada so bring a Passport! 2800 acre Roosevelt Campobello International Park for FDR's summer home, birding, biking, hiking, boat tours, East Quoddy Lighthouse, and the Bay of Fundy. Fabulous day trip.) - Eastport (charming Easternmost city in the U.S.) - Jonesport and Beals Island (working harbor and nature reserve, golfing) - Moosehorn Nature Reserve (bald eagles and hiking trails) Getting Around: No public transport. Ways to explore: feet, car, boat. There are bike trails locally so you can bring a bike. Things to note: Please be aware of the following: Due to it's location on a ledge, the Prowhouse is not wheelchair accessible or easily accessible for the elderly or infirm. Howards Cove is a deep water cove meaning there are no stinky mud flats or eternally low tides! But deep water also means strong currents, freezing cold water, and dangerously steep cliffs — one of which the Prowhouse is built upon. If you're an experienced kayaker, this may be an ideal area to explore. But please take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety. Kayaking is entirely at your own risk. We do not recommend swimming in Howards Cove due to the unpredictable currents and cold water. Because of the cold water and steep cliffs, we discourage renters with small children or pets. Also note: while we don't have a TV set we do have wireless internet, lots of books and games and, again, lots of nature and beautiful views. The aforementioned is the reason we passed on the boob tube.
