Stay at Lobster Camp cabins and step back in time.
Breathe in the salty air from the deck of your cabin perched on the edge of a true working harbor. Hear the low rumble of boats and watch lobster fishermen unloading their catch. So close to the harbor you feel a part of the action, even from inside. The Halibut, a vintage 1960's 2 bedroom cabin retains its old school charm with updates for comfort. 4 cabins in total, this is the 2nd from the water. The view looks like a postcard.

The space
Simple furnishings and spectacular harbor views. Rustic, knotty pine walls, no television, and strong wifi. The harbor view deck has a couple of chairs, a small picnic table and your own gas grill nearby. This cabin is the second closest to the harbor with elevated views of all harbor activity from your living room chairs.

There are 2 equal sized bedrooms. One has a king bed with a new memory foam mattress, the other -two twin beds.

The kitchen and bathroom have been recently updated. We tried to keep it true to the cabin’s 1960s simple style. We’ve added insulation to the bathroom walls for extra privacy. The rest of the cabin has traditional pine walls, which don’t block much sound, making it best suited for a couple, a family, or close friends.

We’ve added thoughtful touches to keep things comfortable while staying true to the cabin’s authentic character—rustic, simple, and full of charm.

Attention is paid to details to try and make our places comfortable while still maintaining authenticity. Our hope is that they are charming, while maintaining the simple and rustic character they've had for over 60 years.

A pier and small float in front of the cottages is perfect for launching kayaks (not included) or just hanging out. The float is smack dab in the center of the harbor. Sitting there you can't help feel part of the action. Relax & restore while the tides, birds, and fisherman guide your daily schedule. There are not many places with this setting.

There is a shared fire pit with chairs overlooking the harbor.

Buy lobster off the boat from the fisherman across the harbor (ask us how). There's a lobster pot in each cabin of if you'd prefer to cook lobster outside, we have a propane tank hooked up to a large lobster pot burner next to the fire pit.

Though the cabins are not insulated, there are electric radiators in each room to provide warmth for cool nights and mornings.

Pemaquid Beach is a beautiful sandy beach 1.6 miles away. It offers restrooms, outdoor showers, changing rooms & beach chair and umbrella rentals. It is a calm water beach.
