2 Bedroom Cottage in Machiasport

Heron View Cottage is a charming retreat located directly on scenic Machias Bay, on the spectacular Downeast Coast of Maine. This picturesque, historic 200-year-old cottage has all modern amenities and is cozy and affordable. It's the the perfect getaway for a couple, small family, group of 3, or an individual looking to experience the Maine coast in an idyllic setting. The lovely 2-bedroom cottage has beautiful, sweeping views of Machias Bay from expansive windows in the dining room, bedroom and even bathroom. An enclosed porch also has magnificent bay views and is always a wonderful place to relax. Features of the cottage include comfortable country antique furnishings, and the spacious living room features a fireplace where you can enjoy the ambiance of its soothing warmth and comforting crackle. There is one bedroom on each floor and a fully-equipped galley kitchen. Please note that rentals have a 7 night minimum stay. Rentals are Saturday to Saturday (although some exceptions can be made).
The Outdoors: Heron View Cottage is just a short drive from Jasper Beach, with its expansive, half-mile-long cobble beach and surf. There are several hiking trails located in Cutler that are only a 20+ minute drive from the house. The Bold Coast, Boot Cove and Hamilton Cove (among others) trails skirt along the edge of rugged ocean cliffs and scenic vistas. They are “must do” hikes when visiting the Downeast coast area.
Another “must do” while in the area is the Atlantic Puffin boat tours offered by Captain Cates of the Bold Coast Charter Company out of Cutler harbor. These beautiful and rare parrot-like seabirds only frequent a few of the rugged offshore islands along the Maine coast. Your destination of Machias Seal Island, only 9 miles off Cutler, is the largest puffin colony on the Maine coast, with thousands more birds than any other site. But if you want to do this, please book early!
Lobsters and Whales: The cottage is only a short drive to the lobster wharf in Bucks Harbor where you'll have the opportunity to pick out your own fresh lobsters near the pier. You can also hop on a whale-watching cruise departing from Eastport daily. The cottage is only 1 hour from this popular and picturesque whale-watching port.
The famous Machias Wild Blueberry Festival in August!
You won't want to miss the Downeast event of the year – the annual Machias Wild Blueberry Festival in Machias. This is a fun-filled celebration of the blueberry. The Downeast region produces nearly 85% of the world's blueberries. The residents of the area are proud of that fact and it shows. There’s no lack of exciting events for everyone at this event – a Main Street parade, blueberry farm tours, magic shows, fabulous food, fireworks, crafts and fine art by regional artists, live music and, of course the blueberry pie-eating contest!

Summary: Unusually hot weather kept us from staying in the cottage. Even with fans going was impossible to stay inside due to the stifling heat. Sleeping was impossible We had to leave after one day of our paid week stay. A disappointment for us. Certainty not the fault of the owner

Summary: Was everything we had imagined. We both love antiques and older homes, and Heron View didnt disappoint. Ed was easy to comunicate with, and eager to make our stay enjoyable. We loved the experience.
Carla H. Sep 17, 2023 06:34:23 AM
Summary: We absolutely loved this little 200 year old cottage and the whole historical area. It’s off the beaten path but close enough to civilization to get things you really need. It’s a great place to just relax- read a book or two and just sit and watch the tide flow- the birds forage and the breeze cool your day. If you love the outdoors- it’s a great landing spot for day trips to great places to see the beauty of the area. Ed is a great host- available and helpful when or if he’s needed. We enjoyed every minute!!
