Squirrel's Nest eclipse stay 2024
We chose the Squirrel's Nest because it was within the 2024 eclipse path of totality. As a bonus it was near Bissel Brothers Three Rivers brewery and taproom, which I'd always wanted to visit but had little other reason to drive almost five hours just for a few beers.
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay here. There was plenty of room for the four of us. The kitchen had everything one could need and was well stocked with many food items, which is not typical in most home rentals.
We stayed in April so it was a bit chilly at night despite the warm daytime temperatures. To remedy the nightime chill, we fired up the wood burning stove and enjoyed hanging out playing games by the warmth of the stove.
The bedrooms were comfortable and with the windows open a crack, we awoke to the sounds of loons swimming on the picturesque lake behind the house. There was still ice on the pond, but if we were here in warmer weather, there were three kayaks in the garage for our use. Maybe next time!
I would very much reccommend the Squirrel's Nest for anyone looking for a secluded getaway in northern Maine to disconnect and relax.
