So this is a US Coast Guard light. You cannot get in to visit it.
Passing through and decided to stop--glad we did. The tomatoes in the salad tasted like tomatoes, which is so rare these days. Enjoyed the make-your-own burger and the fries, which were perfectly crisp yet tender. Also good: grilled cheese on marble rye (mmm, smoked Gouda!) with a tomato basil soup. Little light on the basil in that, but still good.
If you want to see it, it's been relocated to Cox Farms, Centreville, VA.
This has been left to go to rack and ruin. It us now surrounded by a lot of machinery and junk.
What a gem! This beautiful inn gives a nod to the past without living there, so you get luxuriously updated rooms, along with a cozy sitting room and breakfast area. Speaking of breakfast, yum! Eggs with tomatoes and ham on a croissant. Perfectly cooked. So good. There's also a bar, and I believe a restaurant for dinner if you're there in season, which October isn't. The fixtures and finishes are impeccably kept, with wood floors gleaming and everything spotlessly sparkling. Definitely plan to stay here.
Charming and peaceful. The room was comfortable, if a bit spare, but that's the way to keep it authentic. No TVs; you've been given fair warning. Lots of help and suggestions for places to go, do, and see. The most creative breakfast, with the best blueberry pancakes ever, sprinkled with rose petals. (I know, right? But they were fabulous.) We had a starter of melon soup, with a garnish of craime fraiche that looked like ocean waves. The host was so helpful, and I thought this would be a great place to vacation for a week. There's so much to do, and the Schoodic Peninsula side of Acadia National Park is so much less congested, thus enjoyable, than the Bar Harbor side.
This is a quiet, big inn with history, which Mark, the owner, is proud to let you know about. Though it seems a little out of the way, it provides a good jumping-off point for lake excursions or fall color road trips. The breakfast was hearty and delicious. Mark is a British transplant, and he always wanted to have a country inn. He's gone to a lot of work to update the rooms, including a cozy dining room and elegant living room. He is quite anxious to make sure his guests are comfortable. You will be happy you chose the Brewster Inn.
This is a beautiful site. The hike's pretty accessible, even for us out-of-shape folks. The flume and river are gorgeous and worth it. I would've given five stars, but it slightly rankles that I'm paying someone to hike a trail. Other than that, no complaints.
Beautiful Victorian with history. Very comfortable, with perks like iPads for each room. The breakfast was great (pumpkin pancakes, yum!) Steve, the owner, couldn't have been nicer or more personable. And his homemade ketchup is pretty good too.
This was a great experience! It was my first time zip-lining, and our guides were very good at teaching us the ropes (ha! Pun intended!), staying calm, and tossing out little tidbits about the wildlife and trees. There are nine separate zip lines you take, the longest being more than 800 feet and 160 feet above the forest floor. Awe-inspiring, particularly if you go when the trees are in full fall color. In addition, there are a couple of suspension rope bridges and places where you rappel from the treetops to a lower platform or the ground. Super fun!
