The real maine
The beauty of the place is that it’s not commercialized. The cottage is very cozy with everything you need. This is a great price for this rental. You can watch the lobster fisherman head out right from your window. Although not a super busy boat launch which is great too. We had a bald eagle right outside the door one morning which was really cool. Remember you are 45 minutes from New Brunswick Canada which is a great trip. They have a huge aquarium and chocolate factory museum. You drive through a moose National refugee to get there. The lobster and blueberries in Machias are really good. I recommend the riverside drive in for lobster rolls and Helens for lobster. Definitely check out the sea

Wholesome, Nostalgic, and Absolutely Perfect
We reluctantly returned home after a wonderful week at the Frisky Fish Cottage - and it was everything we could have dreamt and more. We rose early every morning and as my husband and I sipped our coffee in the chairs overlooking the harbor, our young boys ventured out to discover what sea treasures the low tide unveiled. Days were spent combing beaches, partaking in local cuisines, going on nature scavenger hunts, or visiting local shops. And every evening, you could find us in front of the bunkhouse as we challenged the boys to round after round of bocce and crochet. One day during our stay, the mist in the air lingered from morning until night - so we spent the late afternoon and evening with the boys in the bunkhouse - making blueberry ice cream in the ice cream ball, dancing, drumming, and laughing. The slow pace of Machiasport and surrounding areas was perfect for us to cast our stresses aside and focus solely on our family. These memories will last a lifetime. Thanks for everything!

The Real Maine Experience
The Frisky Fish is located in the heart of all things Maine—from lobster boats to sheep you have idyllic scenery at every view! The cottage is well appointed with everything you need. We did day trip hikes to Quoddy lighthouse, Cutler, and Roque Bluffs. Returning back to the cottage to recline in Adirondack chairs while we watched the tide come back in made for a perfect evening. If you want to experience a unique, relaxing, and beautiful vacation, this is a great place. You will have a bit of a drive to get to groceries or restaurants but the scenery is amazing and time passes quickly. We ate a lobster roll some place new every day! If you love the outdoors and don’t mind being off the beaten path, this is your spot!

We booked a week away for some rest and relaxation. The accommodations ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ! It was amazing at how the tide came in and out - who'd have known such an occurrence happened like this -- full to the brim to nothing left but mud and the birds!! We had a great time and were welcomed by the ducks each day when we returned after our outings.
