Downtown you can participate in the local history by celebrating the annual Magaretta Days Festival June 8-11th which salutes Fort O'Brien and Burnham Tavern as the sites where the first naval battle of the American Revolution was planned, fought and won. Shopping, fine restaurants, cultural events (University of Maine at Machias, Washington Academy), a boat launch and the annual Wild Blueberry Festival (last weekend in August) and East Machias River Day & Fireworks (end of June) all contribute to make Down East Maine a special place.

Owner Supplied Testimonials
We had a lovely 2 days here in late October. Had a wonderful meal at The Riverside Inn in Machias. The two of us shared the 3 lobsters we bought this afternoon at the Cutler pound. The home was clean and comfortable. The hiking was fantastic. You need to hike The Bold Coast (Cutler) Trail a couple of miles north of Cutler. Bring food, water and a camera. You will be rewarded. The Destiny Trail just before you get to Cutler was also nice. Thanks for a great stay and all your helpful advice. - Oct 2008 The McHughs, Durham, N.C.
What a lovely time we spent at The Gael Wind. It was the perfect spot to read a philosophical book - dine in utter joy - share some laughs and be mesmerized by the vibrant moon. We had the utter joy to experience a beautiful wedding in Machias. It was one of the best days of our lives. Thank you for allowing us the honor of creating memories for a lifetime in your beautiful and lovely home. - Aug 2009 - Amy & Brad, Los Angeles, CA
A very lovely and comfortable cottage. The landlord has taken excellent care to keep the property in good shape. We've had a wonderful time at the cottage and around Down East areas including the famous Lubec Lighthouse, Moosehorn Wildlife Refuge, Calais Heritage Museum and, of course, the Bold Coast Trails which provide the most spectacular coastal views any hiking trail can do. Thanks very much!
What a cozy cottage! We had a lovely time this week. The porch has been a wonderful spot to take in the gorgeous mornings and the brightest stars we have ever seen at night. Thank you for your hospitality!
