About the host
Hosted by Nicole Strout
Hi! I was born and raised here in Bass Harbor. My late husband was a fisherman (the large anchor in the driveway was one of his catches!) and we raised our kids in the rental house. I remain here year around because of my love for Mount Dessert Island. I hope you enjoy the beautiful surroundings we call home❤️
