• Frisky Fish Cottage

  We loved the cottage, very airy and bright and clean. We visited the Boat House and loved it, we didn't stay in it but would if it had a bathroom and kitchen! I loved all the whimsical and different décor in both places. We found the whole atmosphere to be very relaxing, watched sea birds and fishermen and their boats, we kept the television off and read a lot. My favorite room is the one on the second floor of the Cottage. It overall was a wonderful experience! I am quite sure that the rusty barge in the cove is haunted.

• A Little Slice of Heaven

  The Frisky Fish Cottage is a beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed, fully outfitted house right at the tip of a piece of land jutting into Bucks Harbor in Machiasport, Maine ... way up there in Downeast, surrounded by water on 3 sides. We loved how fully relaxed we became within moments of landing there. We enjoyed campfires outside at night and loved eating at the table right on the harbor. It was lovely watching the lobster fishermen do their thing every day ... coming and going on their own schedule. We bought lobsters from the Lobster Trap just around the corner and had everything we needed to cook, crack and eat them at the cottage. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was very well-equipped. The shower was great. Laundry right there. Wonderful complimentary coffee. What a dream vacation. We ate at Helen's a couple of times. Great food and pies. We also loved the Schnitzel Wagon ... not your typical Maine fare, but delicious authentic German food. Both in Machias. Everywhere we drove, we saw stunning views of the water. If you are looking to kick back, relax, and take in the beauty, this is the place for you.

• Frisky Fish

  We had such a wonderful time at the Frisky Fish! There was a sign in the vacation home saying, 'Tonight's menu.. Lobster and Blueberry Pie.' That set the tone for the week! The home is very clean and comfortable. It is fully stocked with the little extras and we truly felt it was our home away from home. If you want to get away from the touristy areas and get a taste of the true feel of 'Down East Maine' this is the place for you. We enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the area and watching the fishing industry activities. There was an information book in the home full of ideas/pamphlets in case you would like to venture out on a day trip. Hope to return again!

• A Wonderfully Relaxing Vacation

  My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Frisky Fish Cottage in Machiasport, Maine. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. Even the weather cooperated for the entire two-week stay. The harbor was very quiet and it was interesting to watch the fishermen go about their day. What a great way to spend some relaxing time at the cottage. As well, we took advantage of riding around the area and spent some time in Lubec. Staying at the Frisky Fish was wonderful and we had a great time exploring the area. The cottage was immaculate when we arrived and everything was so clean and neat. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we thank you for providing such a great vacation opportunity. Sincerely, K&J Randolph, Vt.

• Quiet, Comfortable, and Soothing Place To Be

  We loved our time at Frisky Fish Cottage!. It is a quiet, comfortable, and soothing place to be with great views of the harbor, the tides, the activity of the lobstermen, and clammers. The kitchen is well-equipped and ready for cooking the fantastic lobsters we got from the lovely folks at The Lobster Trap just down the street. We enjoyed hanging out at the house and exploring the beaches that the host recommended to us. The cottage was also a great home base for exploring -- we drove to Canada twice to explore Campobello Island and the Kingsbrae Gardens in New Brunswick. The host and the property manager were responsive to all inquiries and made us feel extremely welcome. We are already planning our next visit.
