Oh the fun you'll have! The cottage sits just below Bayside Village, south of Belfast and north of Camden. The islands of Islesboro, North Haven, Vinalhaven and even Monhegan are easily explored. Day trips to Acadia National Park, Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Blue Hill, Deer Isle, Port Clyde, Owls Head, Castine, Damariscotta, Hancock Point, Friendship, etc. are lots of fun. There is a dock, a tiny library, a playground in Bayside plus a golf course! There's active live theater in Belfast and Northport, concerts at the Camden Opera House, art at the Farnsworth, (Wyeth) Colby, Bates and Bowdoin. The local Saturday sailboat races often 'come about' just in front of the cottage's deck. Some people come just for the local garden tours and some come just to look for antiques. (And junk. Ever hear of 'The Chicken Barn?') The gorgeous schooners will cruise by right in front of you. Some of the finest wooden boats are made locally. And lots of good food, including lobster. Maine is fun.
