The pictures do not do this house justice. It's so much better. Gail and Mark are wonderful people. The view is fantastic. We have stayed in about 20 different rental houses. The Millers house is one of the best stocked houses we have rented. All kinds of pots and pans, cleaning supplies, and even quite a few spices. This house is not the Ritz, but it is clean, and very well maintained. If we wanted Lobster all we had to do was call or text Gail and she would drop them by, or let us know when Mark would be coming back and we would walk down to the dock and get them right off his boat. We had lobster every night except one during our stay. There is a big lobster pot at the house for cooking them up. We loved talking to the Millers and learning all about the industry and what went in to getting lobsters to the market. I now know that lobster men have to be the hardest working people in the world. Mark would get up at 3:30AM, leave to get bait. Be to the boat by 5:00 and heading out by 6:00
AM. He would not come back till late afternoon to unload his catch, and clean the boat. If the restaurant on the pier was open he would go there next to help cook, and would be cleaning floors till 9:00PM. Next morning the same thing. Gail made a big thing of the noise in the early morning with all the lobstermen working, but quite honestly I never heard them and most times I was up having coffee and watching all the activity. There is lots of small towns near by and they each have something to see. Just remember there are no straight roads in Maine. We used WAZE to get around. If the distance was 30 miles to where you wanted to go it would take almost an hour to get there. Just double the miles and you will be pretty close in minutes. ALL the locals drive no more than 5 MPH over the speed limit. They do not pass, and they always follow at least 5 car lengths behind.
I found that very refreshing. Boothbay Harbour was my favorite. The Miller's house is fantastic if you just want to relax, take in the beautiful views, and do some sight seeing. Thank you Gail and Mark for a wonderful trip, and for sharing your home with us.
