The house was awesome with a wonderful view of the surrounding woods, down the path and to the pond. We kayaked the first weekend, but had some bad weather most of the week. Looking at weather radar, we went to the coast, including Northeast Harbor for the gardens and Southwest Harbor for lobsters. We traveled to Lubec for a whale watching tour with about 15 people. Eagles soared over our heads, seals basked on the islands, we saw East Quoddy Head lighthouse from the water, then visited West Quoddy Head by land. The drive was long, but fun. We found blueberry pies and lobster daily. The weather meant we ate out more than in, but that suited us. Two of our party hiked local trails, and a steep hike from Schoodic Head near Winter Harbor. We enjoyed Fogtown brewery in Ellsworth under a tent sheltered from the rain.
In the home, we sat out on the screen porch, walked to the lake to view the sunrise and had fun reconnecting with each other. Our hosts recommendations were welcomed and used for our daily forays into town. We certainly would have spent more time on kayaks and in the water. We were unable to take advantage of the fire pit and lobster pot because of the weather. Next time…
