Perfect family retreat!
First time visitors to Maine, our family connecting from four states, we throughly enjoyed our stay in this immaculate, rustic yet roomy, well equipped cottage. Our adult children enjoyed making a fire in the wood burning stove when the weather turned cool in the evenings- and we were very comfortable playing board games and sleeping under the provided quilts when the cool weather surprised us. Besides hiking we were able to squeeze in a sail at sunset at northeast harbor (Sail Acadia-Capt. Marc- excellent!) The nearby restaurants provided a variety of great food choices- especially enjoyed the bread form Little Notch Bakery, and fresh food from Eat a Pita! There is an abundance of lobster dining, and we did our share of sampling (Beals and Chart House)- don't forget to try the blueberry ale!!! The nearby butterfly garden is a lovely place to sit by the lake and enjoy the peace and beauty. Host Marc generously offered bounty from the vegetable garden where we found delicious tomatoes, peppers, and saw soon to be harvested beans, carrots, and melons. Marc prepared a very useful book of nearby experiences, and his advice was extremely helpful and accurate. Don't overlook the Conscious Grounds free popovers and oatmeal! Appreciated that provided wood and kindling were replenished by staff regularly! Very courteous and helpful staff! Thank you Marc, Annette and Jen!! Would love to return!
