I had been wanting to go to Maine for years. So on a whim we finally decided to go north instead of heading for the sun and surf - certainly no mistake. Flew to Boston then drove from there to Camden and Bar harbor.
Undoubtedly one of the most memorable parts of the trip was the Norumbega. The house is fantastic and allows the experience of ...
A step back in time. Great woodwork throughout, well maintained, excellant service and the views were beautiful. We drove in hoping for a vacancy and got a large, quiet, beautiful room for nice price. It was the highlight of our trip to Boston and through Maine.

Victorian Charm
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/25/07
