Family get away

The property is lovely. It is secluded and quiet, which is what we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful location, peaceful atmosphere and private beach. Our granddaughters were also captivated by the two hares that were there feeding on the lawn each day. The location is perfect for privacy but also so close to the state park and other wonderful places to adventure. We would absolutely stay again!

Great retreat!

My husband, 10 yr old son, and I had a wonderful week at this beautiful home! The beds were the most comfortable I've ever slept in away from home and the grounds are perfect for relaxing! We enjoyed hiking the Great Wass Preserve and visiting Machias Seal Island preserve to see the Puffins as well as playing in the cove and relaxing out back.

Absolute beautiful Maine coastal stay

Our family arrived for a way too short 4 days. This fabulous property is pretty remote so I would recommend staying longer! The house and views and property are stunning. We spent most nights cooking wonderful dinners and just hanging out! Loved this property so much and have many hopes to return in a year or two! Communication with host was excellent also!

Downeast Escape

The home was even better than we expected. Ocean views all day, with a short walk to the private beach. The home was amazing, plenty of space for everyone to relax after a day of activities. The home had everything we would need and April was extremely responsive. We loved our time in Roques Bluff as we made it our base for visiting various spots along the coast and inland.

Everything we dreamed of for a Maine escape

We traveled with adult children and their grandmother. The home was perfect for our stay. It is remote and off of the touristy path, which is exactly what we wanted. We opened the windows and enjoyed the cool breeze in early July. We loved exploring the trails near the house and the rocky beach. We could not go to Maine without a lobster boil. We called ahead to a local fisherman and picked up 6 on the 4th of July, and later enjoyed them on the picnic table outside. The smaller kitchen table was perfect for cards and board games. We would love to come back!

Downeast Done Well!

Our yearly vacation to Washington County has never been so comfortable or easy! The communication from booking through trash pickup was timely and professional. Our family uses this vacation to relax and connect with nature and each other. Every review of this property will tell you the same thing… everything you want is in this house already. The details from the quality bedding to the well appointed kitchen is unparalleled. Don’t get me started on the view! I would recommend this home without hesitation.

Stay here only if you want an AMAZING experience. ;)

Amazing property, incredible location, fantastic views. My wife and I spent the first hour of each morning sitting outside watching the ocean from our own private bluff... We spent a fair amount of time on the secluded rocky beach, and loved the rustic landscaping and all the rose hips! The property has everything we needed, and so much we never had a chance to use (TONS of books, games, etc.). We LOVED being so far removed from the more populated areas of Maine, and spent some time in Lubec, and had lunch a couple of times on Campobello island. MUST do the lobster boat ride with Captain Larry (ask April, or there's a flier at the property), and we cooked our fresh lobster at the house and ate it outside on the picnic table. We fell in love with Maine, and this house... and you will too!

A Special Place

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, this beautiful house sits in an amazing location! Our family had a great stay in this lovely house that is nestled on top of a cliff overlooking a cove. With access to the cove, the kids were entertained for hours with tidepools, gentle waves, climbing on the rocks, etc. - we had a hard time pulling them away to explore other areas! The house has a great layout, the beds/bedding are very comfortable, the older kids enjoyed the loft area, the house is well stocked with what you need, and the owner is very responsive. Altogether this was a great place to relax and enjoy the last few days of summer. It's also just about an hour away from Campobello Island in NB Canada which was a great place to head for a day trip. We would love to return in the future!

Please come back! I smiled today when I was down at the beach and saw the little piles of stones your children had placed in circles on top of the larger rocks in more than one place. I love to see that our place Is used and enjoyed, especially by children, we believe it is rather special place.

An amazing gem

What a wonderful week in a stunning location. Six of us (a three year old, two 8 year olds, an 11 year old, and two adults) drove up from Maryland to spend a week here this past August. All of us had a great time and had plenty to do. We spent much of the time on the property- the kids spent hours playing on the rocks (both during high and low tide) - collecting seaweed and exploring tide pools while we either joined them or relaxed up by the house. There were wild blueberries all over so we collected them to make muffins and a cake. We took some day trips up north- Campobello Island (Canada) and hiked the Bold Coast (highly worth the drive) and went into to Machias a couple of times. Overall an amazing, peaceful, relaxing vacation in one of the most beautiful locations in Maine I've been to yet. Can't say enough good things about it and can't wait to go back!

Peaceful & serene taste of downeast Maine

Thank you April and Steve for sharing your beautiful home with us. The surroundings were exquisite. Peaceful, serene, and remote. Despite many houses in the area, they were all nestled well within the forest and could not be seen. We literally saw only one person in the area during the entire week. We had the entire area to ourselves including the wonderful cove where we spent a great deal of time exploring. We heard only the sounds of nature. No planes, no cars. Just the sound of waves crashing into the rocks, birds in the forest, insects in the bushes. A family of deer. The days were sunny and warm except for one day when it rained a little and the fog rolled in. It made for a more dramatic landscape and better pictures. Nights were crisp and cool with the sea air blowing through the windows, and you could see every star in the universe. No light pollution. The house was as described. Comfortable and inviting, and spacious enough for our family. The master bedroom had a g The Wi-Fi was spotty, but truthfully, I wish it didn't work at all. Cell service, too, was spotty, but that was also OK.

Thank you for the very favorable review. Your description of the property and how much you and your family enjoyed your stay give April and me great satisfaction. Mack Cove is a special place that we fell in love with at first sight. The house is really a home and we strive to keep it fresh by limiting the rentals. By the way, Fairpoint has finally replaced the router and wifi is running perfectly. We hope to host you and your family again. April and Steve

About the host

Hosted by April Shoemaker

Host profile image
We are from Maine originally, but have lived in New Jersey
for over 35 years. We live in a very country like town, really
more like a village. We live on 6 acres.

Why they chose this property

Since we live in a rural environment, when we looked for property
privacy was very important to us and of course, when we saw
our views, since we are right on the ocean there was no doubt
where we should be. We love our property and we have fabulous
friends that we know here in Maine. Feel very blessed.

What makes this property unique

Our home is very nice (we added new appliances and granite
countertops in the kitchen) and basically tried to decorate it
as a beautiful cottage with a simplicity that would be appealing
and comfortable. Our bedding done with quality and lots of pillows
to make your nights sleep like home. I tell guests just bring your clothes and stop to get food we have everything else waiting for you!!
