Lilac Place is centered on upper Penobscot Bay in historic Stockton Springs- with easy access to Bangor (airport & Hollywood Slots) or to Searsport (deep water seaport 1 of only 3) - or to the wondrous towns of Searsport and Belfast. Winterport is 'just up the street ' with an award winning winery. AND, we are 6 miles from the Original Fort Knox and its beautiful campus that also is home to the tallest observation tower in the Western Hemisphere - Penobscot Narrows Bridge & Observatory ' On a clear day you can see forever' and from the Penobscot Marine Museum - the oldest in Maine with a campus of 12 buildings, most on the National Register. Penobscot Bay is considered one of the top ten sailing bays in the world.
We are less than an hour to Acadia National Park - Bar Harbor - (whale watches)- Camden - (tall ship windjammers) - Bangor International Airport (Hollywood Slots) Minutes to Searsport (antique capitol of Me.) Sears Island, flea markets, marine museum; great book stores; Toziers family market, restaurants. Minutes to Belfast, the hospital, shopping district, quaint movie theatre, restaurants, art galleries, funky & cool places, sailing and lots to do.
Easy access to some of the best yet least expensive restaurants, serving wondrous seafood and to many Parks such as Fort Point Light House complete with the moat that protected them, the Light House itself and then the Original Fort Knox where a shot was never fired and now the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory the only kind in this world. While the bridge is similar to one in Boston - it has its differences - first in architecture and while the Observatory is similar to one in Thailad it is also different. And last - visit Sears Island - the largest uninhabited island on the east cost (940 acres - hike it - bike it - whatever - it is free access .
This is antiquing country, plus flea markets - and many unique book stores. Galleries of all kinds and ship watching or , schooner, sail boat experiences..
Guest Book:
Recently, I traveled to Stockton Springs and had a WONDERFUL visit at Lilac Place. The accommodations were comfortable, cozy, and Nancy-Linn was warm and just a joy. Before I arrived, I did not have time to really plan what my husband would do while there so I approached Nancy with HELP, what can I do to keep him occupied. She came up with great ideas and we were extremely happy with our stay. The relaxation we enjoyed was so much needed.....I cannot wait to return....Oh Yes, while there we met some of the local business owners and that was a thrill.....the food was fabulous every place Nancy recommended...I highly recommend Lilac Place to anyone looking for a special vacation in Maine...
Hugs to Nancy-Linn at Lilac Place!!!!!!
