Eighteen of us filled the two cottages this week in the area. It was a beautiful week- even hiking in the mist. The twenty-somethings enjoyed kayaking and canoeing. We all survived the hike around Jordan Pond. The flowers and views were awesome and restful. Thank you for sharing your homes with Hoosiers celebrating a 53rd wedding anniversary, 10 year anniversary, and three birthdays.
Enjoyed both the main house and guest house- great accommodations for the 17 of us- (10 grandchildren). We loved Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor. Did a lot of hiking, carriage ride, and the children loved playing with their cousins in the backyard and looking for sea glass on the beach. Great memories! Thank you!
