It has been years since I enjoyed a vacation as much as I did this one. This house is secluded and tailor-made for relaxing and decompressing. The owners keep it clean and well-maintained, and it is a very comfortable place to stay for a week. The internet service worked great, even on the evening when we had a pretty good storm. The photos cannot convey adequately the beauty of the views from all of the windows and the deck, and, with the property being right on the bay, there is always the soothing sound of the surf on the rocks. With the binoculars kept at the house, you can watch the lobster boats working the traps offshore and even see the houses on some islands several miles away. I enjoyed sitting on the deck at night to see how many lighthouse beacons I could see flashing. Being as secluded as it is, you have the opportunity to see wildlife such as turkeys and deer. However, it is an easy drive to Thomaston, Rockland, and Camden, and an easy day trip to Bar Harbor and Mt. Desert Island. We highly recommend eating at The Slipway in Thomaston and The Brown Bag in Rockland. But just as enjoyable was the ability to hike around the property, sit on the deck or in the house with a good book, and have relaxed, unhurried conversations with my family. The only regret we had was having to leave when our week was over.
