Yes, pets are welcome as they are often great traveling companions and usually arrive with a caring owner. We ask that you bring a bed for your pet and keep it off the beds and sofa. If needed, please bring coverings for the furniture. We also kindly request that you clean up after your pet to help our housekeeping staff and ensure a pleasant stay for future guests. The pet fee is $15 per night or $50 per week.
Smoking and the use of candles are not permitted inside the buildings. Additionally, there are no fireplaces or woodstoves. We provide 4 grills: 3 propane and 1 charcoal—please inquire for details. A fire pit is available at the picnic deck.
Locals typically respond with a simple “why?” The water is cold, with currents up to 15 knots and an extreme 20-foot tide change twice a day. While the beaches are ideal for taking in scenic views, collecting sea glass, and beachcombing, swimming isn’t common. However, just a 5-minute walk (half a mile) down the road, you’ll find access to a beautiful, horseshoe-shaped, mile-long sandy beach.
P.S. In the summer, locals often head inland to their lake camps, or as they say, “goin’ upta camp.”
Since June 2009, a passport book or passport card is required to travel between the U.S. and Canada, including the Lubec, Maine–Campobello Island, New Brunswick crossing. For a smooth and pleasant border experience, it's helpful to smile, and avoid wearing a hat or sunglasses.
Children under 18 need a birth certificate or passport if traveling with both parents. A single parent must also provide a notarized release from the other parent. Current vaccination papers are required for pets.
At the border, you'll be asked the purpose of your visit, where you live, where you are staying, and if you're carrying tobacco, firearms, alcohol, or any gifts or goods you plan to leave in Canada. Local border crossings are at Lubec/Campobello and Calais/St. Stephen.
There is a good variety of restaurants in the village of Lubec, just 5 miles away, and on Campobello Island. Lubec also has a well-stocked supermarket and a convenience store, both with deli departments. Beer, wine, and liquor are available for purchase seven days a week.
