LeRoy and Jen are getting married!

There aren’t any Super 8’s in Lubec, but here are some other options.  The wedding will be on the grounds of Quoddy House, out on West Quoddy Head (near Quoddy Head State Park), which is a 10 or 15 minute drive from Lubec proper.  Note that there is a music camp for adults which runs all summer in Lubec and those folks tend to fill up the vacation housing quite early.  We recommend making reservations to stay somewhere as soon as possible.

Housing at/near the wedding site on Quoddy Head – we have reserved these places, and have redistributed the costs somewhat.  Here is a table of housing costs – use the comments section below to reserve your room/bed.

• The old Coast Guard Station on Quoddy Head is reserved Wednesday 8/25 – Sunday 8/29, and is where we’ll be staying Wednesday – Sunday.  We didn’t rent it for the whole week because it’s pricey.  The main house and each of the apartments has a kitchen, there are washing machines, and there is wi-fi and lots of water for campers to shower with.  It’s maybe a 10 minute walk from Quoddy House.
• Quoddy House –  This house is *at* the wedding, and we’re hoping the folks who stay here will be amenable to hosting late-night activities that night.  We have reserved the house from Sunday 8/22 through Monday 8/30, so if you can come all week, this is the spot.  It also means we have a place for anyone staying Sunday night. The house has huge fields and a gorgeous view of Lubec and Campobello.
• Marie Olson’s house – On the other side of the Coast Guard Station from Quoddy House, but still walkable.  Reserved Sunday 8/22 – Sunday 8/29.

Camping:

• at the wedding site – you are welcome to pitch a tent at Quoddy House or at the Coast Guard Station (see below).  Be aware that camping on Quoddy Head is likely to be damp.
• at the Plaut farm – lots of fields, privacy, and it’s somewhat warmer than out at Quoddy Head.  There is also less fog at the farm than on Quoddy Head, though it can always rain.
• Cobscook Bay State Park – a 20 minute drive from Lubec, right on scenic (and usually calm) Cobscook Bay.  The Plaut farm is a 20-minute paddle across from the Park!
• South Bay Campground – in Lubec, RV hookups and a gorgeous view; 591 County Rd, Lubec, ME‎ – (207) 733-1037‎

Motels and B&B’s in Lubec:

• Eastland Motel – on Rt. 189 near Lubec, 19 rooms with 1-2 double beds, $75-85/night, call 207-733-5501
• Peacock House – downtown Lubec, $95-$135/night.  There may be one room left.
• Homeport Inn -downtown Lubec, $95-$115/night – this is definitely the swankiest joint in Lubec. It is one of the only B&B’s in the area with a dining room, which is the nicest restaurant around. **Update: 5 of 7 rooms already reserved!**

• Cohills Inn – downtown Lubec, $95-$135/night

Other towns in the area with accommodations:
Campobello Island is just over the bridge from Lubec. It’s in New Brunswick, Canada so you have to deal with Customs and bring your passport, but it’s beautiful and there are a number of places to stay there.

Machias is the nearest “big” town, about half an hour from Lubec. It has a hospital, Hannaford Brothers grocery store, Rite Aid pharmacy, Dunkin Donuts and McDonald’s. Just in case. There are accommodations listed here, but stay away from anything that’s not in Machias, East Machias, or Lubec – it could be pretty far! Here are some hotel/motels for those just looking to stay a few nights:

• Riverside Inn & Restaurant – in East Machias, about 25 minutes drive. The food here is amazing supposedly.
• Machias Motor Inn – in Machias, right next to Helen’s Restaurant. $100/night
• Margaretta Motel – Rt 1 Machias ME 207-255-6671
• Bluebird Motel – Rt 1 Machias ME 207-255-3332
• The Blue Butterfly B&B – 46 High Street, Machias, Maine 04654 – one room!

Cutler – it exists and it’s about as far as Machias, but I could only find one B&B there. If you find more, let me know!
