Why the mid-coast of Maine?

Lincolnville was cited in Outdoors magazine as one of the 20 places in America for “Top Outdoor Activities”

The Bald Rock Trail in Lincolnville was cited by American Express’ Departures Magazine as one of the “World’s Most Scenic Walks” in the world! The trail is located in Camden Hills State Park directly behind our property!

Lincolnville (along with Camden and Rockland) made the “Top 25 Best Food Towns in New England” online at Go Local. Bay Leaf Cottages & Bistro’s Saturday night lobster dinners and cooking classes received special mention along with Salt Water Farm Cooking School and Cellardoor Winery.

Nearby Camden was recently in the top 10 “America’s Coolest Small Towns” contest by Budget Travel Magazine. And, Camden was cited by Boston Magazine as one of the “Best Small Town Weekend Destinations.”

10 Coolest Small Towns: Belfast, Maine from Budget Travel. These towns all have fewer than 10,000 people—but they can rival larger cities when it comes to good food, culture, and quality of life.

“36 hours in the Mid-Coast of Maine,” a New York Times article, features things to see/do in the area.

“48 Hours in Lincolnville and Islesboro,” Maine Magazine article about the area.
