This was our second two week stay at quintessential Chesebro cottage and it was even more delightful than the last.Weather was gorgeous and we took advantage of it to enjoy a Balmy Day’s excursion to Monhegan where we hiked to the Lighthouse and through the woods to Gull ‘s Cove for lunch (Hope that sneaky gull enjoyed my sandwich). Another fine day we visited Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens to check out the trolls for the third time (Sven is my favorite). Back at the cottage, when we weren’t relaxing on the porch taking in the view and harbor activity, you could find us walking at Murray Hill or Ocean Point, attending Wilson Chapel on Sundays, visiting my friend’s new gallery in the village and, of course, East Boothbay General Store, plus, not to forget the early morning serene moments kayaking the glassy waters of Linekin Bay and swimming at public dock two doors down. We ate out only once, because eats prepared in Chesebro’s well equipped and efficient kitchen were so good and the view can’t be beat! Those dinners did include both cooked lobsters and homemade lobster rolls (Ala Paul) from Pinkhams (Their potato salad is as tasty as my own).….and some fall-off-the-bone bbq ribs from Carriage House….yum! (Must also give Lobsterman’s Wharf just down the road a shoutout for their seafood delights and our very favorite in-town eatery, Boathouse Bistro). Okay, so Chesebro isn’t all about wining and dining ….there are the comfortable beds for a good night’s rest, fantastic water pressure and plenty of hot water for very revitalizing shower, THE PORCH, water views from every window and “natural” air conditioning with windows open when needed, GAZEBO for “eating out” breakfast, lunch or dinner, the great period dining room table to gather around when it’s chilly, the cozy but ample living room WITH A VIEW for visiting, quiet time, TV or games … plus in-house laundry! What did I miss about this one- of-a-kind old cottage where it’s history is told in pictures and objects artfully displayed on walls and shelves and lovingly cared for by the descendants who are still it’s owners?
