This absolutely lovely Chalet with its beautiful location on the magnificent Penobscot Bay is perfect in every way. Similar to a previous reviewer, my husband and I returned this summer for our sixth year, and we look forward to our stay all winter long. The kayaking from the beach in front of the Chalet is absolutely phenomenal! Waking up every morning to the views of the ocean and sky from the Chalet's wall of windows is summer vacationing at its best. At night, turn out the lights and watch the moon over the ocean, and if you're very lucky, you'll catch a thunderstorm, with its panoramic bolts of lightening providing a spectacular show you'll not soon forget. The cottage is beautifully furnished and maintained, with every comfort you could desire. The owners are gracious hosts, and we are very grateful that they share this remarkably special place with others! Only 15 minutes away is the tiny village of Buck's Harbor, with a delightful old fashioned little market where every morning, they bake the very best Rosemary or Olive Focaccia and superb muffins, and have a wonderful deli with home made yummies. There is an incredible restaurant, Buck's, behind the market. Mt. Desert Island with Acadia National Park is only a little more than an hour away, as is the village of Stonington on beautiful Deer Island, with its art galleries. restaurants, lobster coop, and fascinating history. And Blue Hill and Castine are only 1/2 hour away, with wonderful restaurants and other delights. We concur with another reviewer in stating that this is also our "most favorite place to vacation in Maine".
