As soon as we walked in the door, we knew it was going to be the relaxing week away we were hoping for. It is a wonderfully inviting home, and it's evident that there have been generations of memories made there.
The kitchen was well equipped, including having everything we needed the night we cooked our freshly caught Maine lobsters - which I highly recommend getting your hands on! And, having the grill just steps away was much appreciated as that is my preferred way to cook.
Being that it was just the two of us, the only room that we used upstairs was the master bedroom/bathroom. The king sized bed was comfortable, and the bay windows allowed for an amazing view of the lake. I appreciated that there was a laundry room off of the downstairs bathroom, so we were able to do a load of bathing suits and towels at the end of our stay. The couch in the living room was the perfect spot for an unexpected afternoon nap while watching the rain come across the lake.
The view is absolutely spectacular, and made it hard to leave on the two days we had plans away from camp. We spent one day whitewater rafting on the Penobscot (fantastic time!), and another at the gorgeous Acadia National Park. As much fun as we had both of those days, we were excited to return home to watch the amazing sunsets over the lake, and be entertained by the two families of ducks who visited daily.
Kristi, Ernie & Sharney went above and beyond to make sure that every minute of our trip was perfect, and it truly was. With the stresses and uncertainty happening in our daily lives right now, being at camp provided the mental reset we so desperately needed. I was a bit misty eyed as we were packing up the morning of our departure, but I can say with certainty it was not goodbye, but see you soon - because we hope to have that special place in our lives as long as they'll continue to have us.
Much love and many thanks to you and your family Kristi, for opening your doors and sharing with others.
