The Bluffs Cottage
Come enjoy our 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with beautiful attached 3 season sunroom, BBQ grill and fire pit. This is located just one half mile from the Roque Bluffs State Park Beach. Sit in the back yard and hear the waves rolling in at the beach. Very tranquil. It’s a 2 min drive or 10 min walk. You can see the local wildlife right in the back yard. We have beautiful sunsets in this tranquil location. Just a mile past the beach is our local wharf where u can sit on the wharf or the sea wall and enjoy the spectacular sunsets. Purchase fresh caught lobsters or fresh dug clams right from our local fisherman. If u enjoy duck hunting season, come enjoy some of the best sea duck hunting anywhere. Down at our local wharf just 3 minutes from the cottage, launch your boat and see hundreds of sea ducks right in our bay. Hiking trails are located beside the beach and the local pond directly across from the beach. Our state park beach doesn’t allow dogs but the pond directly across the street does. Enjoy hiking, biking, kyaking, canoeing or just relaxing. Atv trails and snowmobile trails are 8 miles from the house. They are incredible ITS trails. There is satellite tv, internet, and also has DVD player and DVD’s for viewing. Or just come enjoy leaf peeping season and spectacular blueberry fields that change red during the fall season. We have Welch’s blueberry farm just around the corner to go and enjoy the experience of a working blueberry farm. We have some breath taking foliage. And some beautiful trails to ride. Our town of Machias is just 8 miles away with some fantastic local restaurants. Lots of places to visit in our outlying areas. We have Quoddy Head lighthouse just a 45 min drive. Bar harbor with Acadia national park is an hour and a half away. Come enjoy or sit by the fire pit at night and enjoy listening to the ocean. If you have pets, the pet fee is required to be paid.

Bluffs Cottage is homey, well stocked, delightfully comfortable, private, and the sun room is a dream with all the windows open to catch the breeze. We'll be back.
We used this property as overflow lodging for family that came to visit us while we were staying in Roque Bluffs and it was perfect for us! The property was spotlessly clean and Marjorie was a terrific host. She was very quick to respond to any questions and very accommodating. Her communication was excellent and I highly recommend staying here.
This place is exactly what is shown in the photos. Super cute, comfortable and clean place. Thank you for being a great host looking forward to booking again in the future.
Marjorie was amazing left us some home bread was so delicious. Place was clean and just what we needed for our two poodles. Very peaceful would highly recommend this place. Enjoy our stay will be looking forward to a future vist
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Roques Cottage. Maggie provided everything we needed and more. We cooked lots of lobster from down the road and had a great time.
We loved our stay and hope to be back soon! The cottage is in walking distance or a short drive to the phenomenal beach (Roque Bluffs). We spent every morning at the beach (the low tides made a perfect haven for young kids) and afternoons playing in the big backyard, and then exploring local hikes or nearby towns. Highlights included trips to Campobello Island, Eastport, Lubec, and lots of hikes in Maine Heritage Coast Trust trails (which were pristine and provided gorgeous views). Maggie was a wonderful and communicative host!
This is the 3rd time staying at Maggie's and was perfect again. House is always clean, cozy, and comfortable. Maggie is an awesome host! Will be back again!
It was very peaceful there, the backyard has a little fire pit and some chairs which is perfect for star gazing. Sky is amazing. The beach is right down the street, fun for the kids. The place was clean and beds were comfortable. Any questions I had I got a quick reply. We were happy.
Great location for work and family. Close to the beach and Machias. Stocked with everything we needed. Very cute & cozy. Early morning visits from the local deer tribe. Can't wait to return!
Comfortable, clean spot located close to beautiful beach and trails.
The cottage had everything we needed.
Maggie was very responsive.

Marge was a great host. The banana nut bread she left for us was yummy! This was a great little place to stay at and it was nice and quiet! Only minor glitch was the WiFi wasn’t the greatest and couldn’t get on Netflix on the tv, but not Marge’s fault. I recommend this place and would stay here again!
The cottage is very clean and the central location is perfect! We were able to drive easily up to Lubec and down to Acadia from the cottage. Also, the homemade banana bread and the wood and kindling for an outside fire were such a special touch! Wonderful vacation!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Bluffs Cottage! We relaxed in the sunroom after a sightseeing day and watched the local wildlife in the back yard. The retro colors in the kitchen were charming, and it did not lack for anything. The beds were very comfortable, and the cottage did not lack for storage for all our vacation needs. We enjoyed evening walks on the beach at Roque Bluffs State Park, visited the West Quoddy Lighthouse (the easternmost point of land in the U.S.), hiked the Cutler Preserve Trail to magnificent cliffs, and explored a lot of the small towns along the coast. Had a hard time leaving!! Would definitely recommend this rental.
My dad and I were in town for a family funeral and this cottage fit our needs exactly. Comfortable beds, walking distance to the gorgeous ocean, coffee maker, and homemade banana bread. Marjorie was a responsive host!
What a beautiful, quiet property and area. Not overcrowded, but easy to get to Earle’s local fish van and Helen’s amazing pie restaurant in Machias. Maggie’s place is so comfortable and well stocked for a couple or a family. Thank you!
Myself and three other family members stayed here and it was perfect! Marjorie made our stay comfortable and was very accommodating. The cottage itself is very clean and comfortable. You can watch the rain from the sunroom porch or sit outside by the campfire on a warm night. We already booked it for next year! Would highly recommend to others!
Peaceful location close to a glorious sand beach. Great sun porch..it made the place for a couple of long time friends who like to stay home and catch up on chatting, cooking , and practicing our painting skills. Comfortable beds, plenty of clean soft towels. Suited us just fine.
