Another fantastic vacation spent at Balsam Cottage... this year I stayed for two weeks with two different sets of family/friends each week... we enjoyed the lazy, quiet, cozy time at the cottage and used it as our launching point for many a fun daytrip and activities... such as... visiting magnificent Monhegan Island, going on informative and exciting Puffin Tours, seeing the amazing collections at Owls Head Transportation Museum, walking the long stone breakwater to the Rockland Lighthouse, 4th of July festivities at Camden, scouring quaint gift shops, being inspired by local artists' at their galleries, soaking in the sensational seaside scenery, dipping in the brisk, revitalizing waters at Drift Inn beach and hunting for crabs and snails in the nearby rocky shore, dining at delicious local restaurants, tapping our happy feet to the tantalizing tunes at the Wednesday Jam Session in the St. George Grange Hall, clutching tasty ice cream cones at the Port Clyde Village Ice Cream place, etc., Etc., ETC. Well worth every cent and every moment... looking forward to returning again hopefully next year... this was my third time staying at the blessed Balsam Cottage. Thanks and Blessings to the friendly owners!
