The property has an enormous wraparound deck overlooking downtown Lubec and the Lubec Channel with sweeping views of Campobello Island and the international bridge to New Brunswick, Canada. The property retains its' commercial kitchen license and conveys with commercial kitchen equipment and wonderful treasures for downtown shoppers.
