Moosehead Cottage Resorts Here We come?!

(Previously posted in Bar Harbor Forum)

Well my wife found it, my supervisor approved the time, I now anticipate it - a week stay from July 28 to August 4th @ Moosehead Cottage Resort.

The family; a young 50 yr. old dad, the wife (are you kidding?), and our daughters 14 %26amp; 11, will be visiting from Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Any recommendations %26amp;/or reviews of the Moosehead Cottage Resorts, the area around this resort (Greenville, Maine) for activities, and/or what a family of 3 females %26amp; 1 male should bring, would be sincerely appreciated.

Only got about one month to plan %26amp; pack %26amp; drive to our destination.

I loved the idea of staying in a log cabin (fantasy when I retired). I remember as a NY youth, going to Bunker Hill, Maine %26amp; going blueberry picking and fishing at 11 - 12 yrs. of age.

Now as a Clinical Social Worker, who serves those challenged with psychiatric symptoms, the time away is precious.

Others experiences %26amp; suggestions are coveted. Your feedback %26amp; ideas could prove value packed!

Car traveling directions have been secured thru MapQuest. My wife hopes to stop at a midpoint on the Friday, 27th as her birthday is the 28th and she doesn%26#39;t wish to be driving all day when she turns (not on your life! rather mine!).

';TripAdvisor has been berry, berry good to me.'; Please feel encouraged to give your input which is much appreciated....

Check out the Moosehead Lake Chamber%26#39;s website for things to do. The Resort is not on the lake and you will need to travel to get to the water. The resort is about 2 miles south of Moosehead Lake. The lake does have a swimming beach in town as well as in Lily Bay State Park which is about 10 miles north of the resort. A day pass will cost $5/car.

Lots of places to hike to. There is an old steamer ship that will take you out on the lake for 3-5 hours. Three hours was long enough for me. But gives you a nice feel for the area and the lake. Take a seaplane ride and see the great expansive area that Moosehead Lake takes in. The pilot will even look for moose for you.

Fishing can be as close as 10 minutes away. General fishing or fly fishing which ever suits your needs. Water temps will be kind of warm so fishing may be a bit more difficult when you are here. But one never knows.

Plenty of little shops in town to pick up souveniers. Places to eat on the water, and a grocery store to buy food if the cottages have their own kitchens.

Beaver Cove Camps, and/or others,

Thank you for info. Any idea as to cost of Sea Plane per person? I love to fly and did entertained this idea when I began my research. I have a phone number that I might call to check as well. Would hate to look forward to it and find out reservations this far ahead of time would be needed.

I also forsee relaxing on our Cabin%26#39;s deck with a citronella candle burning and a frosty mug of Moosehead Beer (or cheaper brand) . Trying to determine if bringing a case from PA or obtaining after arrival would be more cost efficient (fancier than ';cheaper';). I am fibbing, I don%26#39;t drink Moosehead, I am satisfied with Milwalkee Best Lite - at $10.90 a case. Any feedback here?

Wife is a shopper, any particular shop unique that can%26#39;t be missed?

Teenager %26amp; pre-teen girls will hopefully not entertain themselves with Game Boys or PlayStations. Are you familiar with any activities teenagers could enjoy in the region.

Looking forward to our stay. Thanks again for taking the time to share...
