Welcome to the FRISKY FISH COTTAGE. The Frisky Fish is a small (two bedroom) waterfront cottage with seasonal boathouse/bunkhouse/studio located in beautiful Bucks Harbor, Maine. It offers a unique vacation experience — smack in the middle a real, authentic working fishing harbor, surrounded by fishing activity. We'll be honest - due to it's unique location, it may not be the vacation spot for everyone, but it's the perfect place for those looking for an authentic down east Maine experience and adventure.
***IMPORTANT INFO*** THIRD BEDROOM (BUNKHOUSE) IS ONLY AVAILABLE WARMER MONTHS (usually July and August only). It is a separate building and has no heat nor bathroom. During July and August, the Frisky Fish and Boathouse sleeps SIX total. All other times, the cottage alone sleeps only four.
Watch the lobster boats come and go and unload their catch, directly from the front yard of our tiny cottage. At night, enjoy the campfire and toast marshmallows - the lights across the harbor will twinkle along with the stars and, if you are lucky, you may be serenaded by the strains of distant fiddle music from across the water.
The Frisky Fish is a unique and whimsical, squeaky-clean, and very comfortable home.
Although the cottage is petite, it doesn't take itself too seriously -- it's fun and has the feel of an open and airy beach house with a
great room with a soaring ceiling and giant windows. There is a full kitchen with a full size fridge, stove and dishwasher and plenty of cooking tools.
The first floor also has a bedroom with a queen sleigh bed with memory foam mattress and first floor full bath across the hall with washer and dryer.
The second floor loft master bedroom has a king bed with pillow-top mattress and half-bath.
During July and August stays, the cottage includes the 'boathouse'. The boathouse has three twin beds and can be used as a bunkhouse, artist studio, work office, or playroom. (There is no heat, nor bathroom in the boathouse). Be creative.
The Frisky Fish is approximately 9 miles from the town of Machias with a grocery store, restaurants including the famous, Helens, known for their delicious blueberry pie , The French Cellar - a wine and cheese store, Whole Live Natural Foods & Cafe, etc. The nearest lobster pound is just around the corner and over the hill or visit "Mother Shuckers Lobsters" in Roque Bluffs on your way home from a day at the state park and sandy beach.
All of our property is smoke-free (except for the fire-pit, of course).
The Frisky Fish sleeps 5 people TOTAL on the entire property -- King bed, Queen bed and pull-out twin sofa in the main house. Because we are a small village property, we never allow more than 5 guests total at any one time.

My fiancé and I decided to take a surprise vacation for a week, with no prior planning or arrangements. So we drove 28 hours from Atlanta GA to the great state of Maine. On 18 hours notice, Maria supplied us with a beautiful little cottage on the water for the week of thanksgiving!! These southern city folk were blown away by the kindness of Machias, and the wonderful seafood!
Incredible time all around. Watched the leaves change before our eyes. Am now experts on the lobster industry. Watched for countless hours all the activity outside our window. Beautiful home and so comfortable. Loved Helen’s downtown for wild blueberry pancakes. Visit the Schoodic Point. Best part of the week. Breathtaking. Will definitely be back!!!
We had a fabulous time at the Frisky Fish The four of us take a fall road trip, all girls! We love Maine and found our way here. Lovely! We shopped, we ate, we laughed and we ate. The area is a perfect place to get away to. We enjoyed the restaurants in town. We loved watching the water levels change. We are from Michigan, New York and Florida. Make sure you get to Jasper Beach! It is breathtaking.
What an awesome experience! Since booking this property the owners have been great and helpful. The house is beautiful exactly where we wanted to spend our honeymoon. While here we soaked in the sea, history and food in the valley even visiting Annapolis Royal 4 times over our stay. One day we went all the way to Westport – what a drive! And Sandy Cove beach was fantastic for shells and big sea glass. We spent much time on the beach and by the fire pit just relaxing.
The Fabulous Frisky Fish! A well-stocked oasis of relaxation on this industrious coastline. Our arrival was bathed in sunshine and salt air, but the sweetness of it all lingers on our tongues still. We must leave this place now, but, dear reader, may you enjoy your moments for as long memory holds. Many small treasures you’ll find in Machias — from the thrift shop – Bags O’Rags and the Hardware Store, which has coffee and canning delights not found back home. A hop, skip and a jump to rocky, resplendent, Jasper Beach will astonish you – the infinite form and color of stones is best seen to be believed! Each unique, countless…humanity in microcosm… We envy you, dear reader, who takes over place here to continue the adventure. This Frisky Fish cottage is the perfect ship to sail on. Oh. Helen’s. Gorge. Of you’re especially fortunate, you, too, will enjoy roque Bluffs Park completely to yourselves! So much beauty to behold. Too little time.
