We keep coming back!

This will be our fourth visit to the Looney Bin when we come out again over Labor Day. The cottage and the lake are so nice in September ...you practically have the whole lake to yourselves...and the chill in the air at night is wonderful! It is such a comfortable, clean, private, cozy place to spend a quiet week fishing, canoeing, eating, drinking wine, reading, doing jigsaw puzzles and just watching the lake. I caught a bass as big as a dog the first day we were there last year. And there is also a resident Bald eagle who flies right over the house. We always take a ride to Camden to shop for Christmas gifts and stop at the Lobster Pound for lobster rolls but the remainder of the week is for relaxing and cooking great eats! We love to do our food shopping at Hussey's where they have the most delicious cheddar cheese cut from a giant wheel over at the meat counter. It's Cabots' aged cheddar so you will be getting the best there is. There is a more modern grocery store 5 minutes away where they have a fabulous selection of wine and beer too! The owner, David, is a great guy and very knowledgable about the area. He makes us feel welcome every year. The Looney Bin would make for a wonderful honeymoon too! Book a week and see what we mean...it's the best!
