Something Done about Missing Maine

On Tuesday, I posted about how we were missing Maine and we decided to see if our favorite place to stay in Maine, Moose and Squirrel, was available for the week we were available to go.  We found out the owner was not renting out the house at all this season.  It was a real bummer.  We love that place.  This will be the week of my 50th birthday, so it would have been nice if we could have stayed there.  Waaaa Waaaah...

Instead of giving up, we started looking for another place.  One of the problems is that we already have plans to go to New York City for the last part of that week, so we can only rent a place from Saturday to Thursday.  Long story short... we found the Upper Weiss Cottage (pictured above) on Little Deer Isle, Maine.  We will arrive on Saturday, July 29.

It is described as a rustic cabin with unsurpassed views, including water views of Penobscot Bay and its many islands.  It has private beach access and ample acreage.  It has relaxing open areas and meandering wooded trails to explore.  It sounds like a perfect place to get away and relax.  It is also near the nice restaurants of Blue Hill, and the house has high-speed Internet.  What more do we need?
