Real Coastal Maine!
We could not have found a better place to experience the “real” coastal Maine. The house itself was cozy and well-appointed, with comfy beds, a terrific cook’s kitchen and a fabulous covered porch overlooking the water and – importantly – the Strout’s lobster boat and dock right across the street! We enjoyed a day in Bar Harbor – about an hour away – but also had time to explore some of the charming and less crowded hamlets nearby (Winter Harbor was a favorite). The sight of the sun rising over Petit Manan Bay, the moonlight in the evening, and the fog rolling in and out along with the tides created some unforgettable viewing. We also had a chance to explore the Wildlife Refuge only a few hundred yards from the house. By far our favorite part was connecting with Brian, who called us to come across the street when the catch was in so we could pick out our lobsters for an incredible meal.
We had no luck using the satellite TV service, but we didn't really mind - we were able to log in to our own apps on the smart TV.
Our stay in Steuben was a wonderful experience – one we will be happy to repeat!
