My husband, daughter and family, and I had an absolutely fabulous time at Joanne's Penobscot home on Pierce Pond. The house worked perfectly for the four adults and three children. There were books, games, and a ping pong table for all to enjoy. The house had grassy areas for the kids to build a shelter and play games. The lake is absolutely gorgeous. Spring fed, the water is soft so we swam every day, kayaked, and paddle boarded. A small little beach area was perfect for the 2 1/2 year old. Joanne and her husband made a magical trail near the house which enchanted the kids and adults! A platform provided opportunities to make up and perform elaborate plays. The area around the house is beautiful and we took excursions to Blue Hill, Deer Isle, and Castine. The area is rich with hiking, swimming, and browsing spots. Great food is available and farmer's markets. It was a perfect vacation thanks to Joanne. We'll definitely come again!
