About this cottage rental
McCollum Seaside Cottages are two quaint, 100-year-old, one bedroom, self-catering cottages situated on Moosabec Reach in a small, Maine fishing village. Rustic charm mixes with modern conveniences and gorgeous views to give visitors a comfortable retreat from the hectic world. Rent individually or together.
The Primrose Cottage is a rustic one bedroom oceanfront bungalow situated on a bluff above the shoreline of Moosebec Reach. It has a separate bedroom from the living area. Built in the early 1900's in the Craftsman style. Modern plumbing and filtered water added later. Equipped with wi-fi and situated on the bluff up from the shore. Easy walk to the local library, historic society and marina. Easy drive to many points of interest including Bar Harbor, Acadia, Schoodic Point, Quoddy Head State Park and Campobello. Local hiking on Great Wass Island and Bar Island are within a ten minute drive.
The cottage is a perfect spot to relax and take in the views or use as a launching point for Maine adventures. Jonesport is "real Maine." This is NOT Bar Harbor. No quaint restaurants and shops. Just places to hike, explore, and relax.
Moosabec Reach is a working lobster boat harbor. The shore/beach is perfect for hunting for sea glass, discovering things that wash ashore and watching for seals and eagles, not for swimming or playing in the sand. Water is very cold. Tides are about 15 feet, so shore looks very different between high and low tides.
The property is completely non-smoking, both inside and outside the cottage.
Please note that one must walk through uneven grass from the parking area and go up 3-4 steps to enter the cottage. It is not accessible to people with difficulty walking.

What a nifty, quiet, cozy cabin. Built back in the day. Had everything needed in the kitchen and bath. Awesome view of the harbor. Right in town close to the general store. Relaxing and peaceful, small but comfortable. Gas fireplace heater was nice. If a slightly rustic old school cabin is your desire then this is it. Could easily stay a while if you like to explore. Would definitely go back.

I booked this last minute to get away from the busyness of life and this cottage was perfect for my tranquil getaway. I could sit outside and watch all the boats go by throughout the day and enjoy all of the stars at night. The area isn’t touristy or crowded which was such a nice experience after Portland and Acadia. Just be warned that everything within 30 miles closes by 8 PM, so plan accordingly. The cottage itself was cozy and well equipped with everything that I needed. I especially appreciated the gas fireplace on a dreary cold day. The WiFi was fast enough to handle my work meetings. When I had questions Heather answered them promptly.

The cabin was spotless. We like the idea of the bed not being made so we can actually see the matress. First time we have en ountered this. The views did not disappoint and overall very relaxing. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place foe you. You have to love the way of life here to really enjoy the area. It is beautifull, rugged and calming.

There were a lot of rules and fees. The cottage is very small. We had to pay a fee for cleaning but no one came to clean the cottage every day. And there were dog hairs on the sofa and blankets when we arrived. We also had to put sheets on the bed and then take them off before leaving If we had to do that then why should we pay fees? Plus, the lodging fee being charged is higher than the normal rate.
