I am here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is up to you. You will be able to self check-in upon arrival.
I'm only a phone call/message away should you have any questions (regarding the property or the best place to go for dinner.)
DIRECTIONS: Your GPS will get you close… As you come up Water Street from town, Third Street will be on the right and 100 feet further Eagle St will be on the left. It appears to be a driveway with the only marking being a pile of railroad ties defining the corner. We promise that is it- in true New England fashion the snow plow took out the street sign years ago and it never got replaced! Proceed down the street and you will see the ocean straight ahead and the cottage on the left. Eagles Bluff doesn’t have any designated parking spots due to it’s location at the head of a street. If you need to quickly load or unload your vehicle you may park your car in front of the cottage for for a maximum of 15 minutes. There is plenty of free parking up on Water Street. Please do not leave your car on Eagle Street- it is technically a public right of way and it ruins our behind neighbors view along with blocking potential emergency vehicles! Thank you for your understanding!
Eagles Bluff Cottage is dog friendly only! Please bring 2 dogs maximum for your stay!
Eagles Bluff Cottage was built at the turn of the century to house sardine factory workers as the population of Eastport was exploding to serve this industry. Eagle street itself was put in 1904 to serve the largest sardine factory in America at the time, all that is left is the pilings you see out in the water in front of the house, though the walls and floors of the house were insulated with cardboard boxes from the factory and we have saved some and framed them at the house. The weird thing though is that this isn’t the original house that was built at 1 Eagle Street, we have aerial photos from WWII era and a different cottage is here. We can only surmise that this house was moved onto this lot when something happened to the original home. We know that the cottage is old, both due to the original cardboard boxes as insulation and from the fact that all the framing materials were reused from earlier structures- all the ceiling rafters used to be roof rafters for instance. Some of the main beams in the basement have fire damage which makes me think they may have come from the great fire of 1886
Eagles Bluff is a high bluff just south of the main business district overlooking Quoddy Cove and Campobello Island to the east and Shackford Cove to the South. Located at the end of a dirt road off Water Street the cottage feels completely private while being a short walk to all the shops and restaurants, as well as the walking trail and the wildlife areas (the walking trail is at the base of the bluff, it is the former rail bed that tied the canneries to the mainland)
