Penobscot Bay
Baycrest Cottage has privacy. The outdoor shower in the cool October morning air is brilliant and the water is luxurious. The quiet road loops around about 7 or 8 miles and the beautiful Fort Point Lighthouse welcomes you about half way, perfect for a morning walk or run. The kitchen is not fancy, but well equipped with quality cooking tools. I enjoyed the sharp knives, large wood cutting board and the gas stove. You can make anything in this kitchen. It’s a wonderful working kitchen. We also enjoyed the fireplace at night for warmth and ambiance and sometimes in the morning to pull the chill from the house. The cottage sits beneath a dome of stars, in a forest rich with wildlife. It’s set up for a family with children. The many games and books, the swing set in the woods, the bay front and woods to explore, but also the beds are cozy and comfortable and clean. It’s just so sweet for children with adorable bunk beds and warm blankets. The TV hooks up to a laptop so you can access your own online accounts, in our case Netflix, but it does have direct TV. The wifi is strong. Your hosts here are truly hosting. You get the sense that they are thinking of your well being at every turn. I have crisscrossed the continent staying in many private places and this is one of my top personal favorites. Nearby are gorgeous little towns, museums, antiques, books, boats and arts.
