I am working on gathering information on a property that is coming up for auction in Belfast. A new blog??? Perhaps. Stay tuned.

The News is out, its been leaked. We are putting Little Bohemia up for sale after Labor Day. The time has come to move onto other projects. Greg and I have been discussing building a house on some land we have on a pond in Liberty, Maine, about 20 miles outside of Belfast. We don't have to sell Little Bohemia, but I would like to continue investing in real estate, but I have to sell something to do it, and Little Bohemia is the first to go. She is a charmer of a house and shows really well and I am hoping someone falls in love with her like I did. I love the uniqueness of this wonderful Arts and Crafts cottage and the fact that it is like no other house in Bayside. Sigh....I will miss her...if she sells!

I wanted to let all my blog readers know about the summit at Point Lookout. Greg and I went there last night for drinks and a light repast and had a fantastic time. The summit is open from 4:30- 9pm Tues-Thurs. There is a light bistro menu and a full bar. The view is panoramic and you can see clear to Deer Isle, Vinalhaven, and up to Belfast. It is worth a trip. The food is really good too.

We spent yesterday afternoon in dishwasher hell at Sunnyside! The hose to the new dishwasher kept tearing. The first time, a neighbor called to let us know that he turned the water off and that there was now an inch of water on the first floor of Sunnyside... we hustled over there with a load of towels to find the renters mopping up the spill. There was still quite a bit of water, but luckily, it never got to the cork floor. We repaired the hose and went about our way after an hour or so and then the hose burst again! We think there was a flaw in the tubing, so we went to another hardware store and bought heavy duty hose. Should work, haven't heard anything back from the renters, so I am confident it worked, but my word there was a lot of water!!

A happy report from my second set of renters: I particularly like the part about the zero gravity reclining chairs since Greg laughed at me when I bought them.

The Northeasts said... Hello From Cobourg Ontario Canada.
We were fortunate to stay at Sunnyside for the first 2 weeks of August.The pictures on line do not capture its size or beauty. We expected a much more narrow cottage...the rooms are so wide with lovely high ceilings. The upstairs deck compliments the space so much and we enjoyed all our dinners there. Terrific reclining chairs on the deck were a treasured spot for our gals
reading comics. A luxury for us was to have new beds ,new plumbing, and great water pressure for showers all in such a historic place. The community at Bayside were always most welcoming, and our kids enjoyed meeting many new friends when we walked down to the ocean front . Finding star fish and sea urchins and old pottery became a daily routine. The cottage is located perfectly in front of a small park, great privacy, and space from quiet neighbors. A nice distance from the busier ocean front , or streets with close cottages.
We have stayed in Belfast Maine before , so were familiar with this area and its great proximity to wonderful places.We would highly recommend this cottage to a couple or folks with kids. We appreciated Seths attention, and eagerness to make our stay wonderful. Any minor concerns were quickly followed up on.
The drive to Bayside takes us 2 days. We have many fond memories and hope that others will enjoy as we all did.

Already booked five weeks for next summer, two are repeat renters. Yehaw!
