This is truly a Special Place!: Meet 'Mickey' and 'Rain', our gentle, Belgian/Saddlebred horses. You are also welcome to join us at feeding and grooming time... stall cleaning is always optional! A healthy variety of delicious, farm fresh produce is grown here in season; high bush blueberries, apples, snow peas, tomatoes, peppers, squash, corn and pumpkins. During your stay, you are invited to enjoy a complimentary, fresh-baked pie or breakfast muffins from our country kitchen. Quench your thirst with fresh, cool water drawn from our granite-ledge drilled well. Fresh apple cider is available to our guests from early Fall on. Fresh, succulent Maine lobsters are plentiful and available locally at very reasonable prices. If you like, we can show you how to cook it or we can prepare it for you! *Ask about our delicious, home cooked meals, clam-boils and cookouts.

Rainy day? No Problem!!!: Not to dwell on the negative, but hey... not every day is a Sunny day! For your enjoyment, the Depot is stocked with a variety of good books and magazines to read, board games (checkers anyone?), cards, a cribbage board and the free use of videotapes, DVD player and Direct TV. While relaxing indoors on a cool or rainy day, why not take off the chill with a cozy fire?

Ski: The Camden Snow Bowl really is where the 'mountains meet the sea'! From the summit of 1300' Ragged Mountain, home to the Snow Bowl's trails, skiers and riders have an incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a view unlike any other in the East. In addition to Alpine skiing and snowboarding, there are many other winter activities available at the Snow Bowl... snow tubing, ice skating and snowshoeing, to name a few.

Golf: Country View Golf Club is famous throughout Maine and New England as one of the most scenic golf courses in the United States. Located just a few miles from our farm, this gorgeous country club is located on top of the highest hill in Brooks. On a clear day you can see the Camden Hills, the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Mount Cadillac in Maine's famous Acadia National Park. As breathtaking as the distant views is the scenery on the golf courses itself, which includes hundreds of trees, numerous gardens and ponds, and endless manicured fairways and greens. You don't have to be a golfer to appreciate the beauty of this magnificent place... rent a set of clubs and experience it for yourself!
