Our family is always looking for a place to recharge and relax on vacation. We like exploring the outdoors (well, 3 out of 4 of us do) and checking out Antique and unique stores, as well as trying small hole in the wall places to eat. You can find all of this close to the house, and even more if you branch out a little farther, which in rural Maine is par for the course. Driving an hour to get somewhere is something we expect, but were happy that there was the convenience of grocery stores and gas stations within a 10 minute drive. We would recommend checking out Deano's for inexpensive, the steak bomb fires are out of this world! The Java Jointright down the road serves a delicious cup of coffee. We explored the Hollingsworth trail, and there are several other trails close by. We also took a day to visit Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Peninsula loop, as well as Bar Harbor and Acadia the next day. The view from the top of Cadillac Mountain is unparalleled. As far as the house, being nosy I looked up the property on Zillow. The before pictures depict a bare bones hunting cabin. Dave and Chris really put a lot of thought into renovating the home. Downstairs the picture windows and french doors make you feel like you are outside even when you are inside. The kitchen is well equipped. The bathrooms both have nice big showers. Outside there are plenty of places to sit and relax and enjoy nature, our favorite spot was right by the fire pit over looking the ririver.
