We arrived late at night at Sea Meadow Cottage and were instantly charmed and delighted by the tasteful decor and cleanliness. But the real beauty wasn't seen until the next morning when we were able to enjoy the spectacular views across the bay of beautiful Mount Desert Island and the story-book like Blue Hill Bay lighthouse, the sounds of the lobster boats going out for their daily catch and, of course the ever changing water and sky. Views we never tired of during our entire stay.
Sea Meadows had everything we needed to make this the perfect home base: a well kitted out kitchen, interesting dvd-s, games and books for "at home" entertainment and access to a washer/dryer--- all greatly appreciated. The beds were comfortable and the storage space for luggage and clothes worked perfectly. The large living room/dining area windows that looked out over the bay provided spectacular viewing in all kinds of weather, as did the deck, complete with chaise lounges, chairs and tables.
Visitors really need 2 weeks at Sea Meadow cottage. One week dedicated to rest and relaxation, with strolls to the end of the point (with a stop at historic Naskeag cemetery), a walk to the campus of WoodenBoat School, a quick trip to the village for "necessities" (a gift shop in Brooklin has an excellent selection of regional books), a Thursday visit to the summer Farmer's Market. Another week to spend exploring towns like Rockland (a must for art devotees of the Wyeth Family), trips to Acadia and Bar Island, visits to Deer Isle. It's no wonder that we want to return to "our" cottage for more Maine Adventure!
Everyone who has seen our vacation pictures envies our good luck in finding such a perfect home and we have been recommending Sea Meadow to family and friends.
