Spring

Spring – Finally! Sun in the garden; fog on the bay.

We’re celebrating spring with a new Memorial Day Getaway Special — dinner for two at Solo Bistro, two fabulous lobster rolls at Five Islands Lobster Company, and entry for two to either Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens or the Maine Maritime Museum all at no additional cost with a three-day (or longer) stay in May. Check out our new packages and specials — including a new kayak getaway – here. (We’ll be posting some blog entries describing our new packages in the coming weeks).

As for the scene on Gotts Cove — spring has finally arrived, after a chilly winter. Reservations for next summer are filling up, however, and we expect a sunny season filled with happy guests.You can now make reservations directly on our website, but we’re always happy to talk by phone or email.

We invited friends and neighbors to an Easter brunch at Coveside, so Carolyn could try out new recipes and get back into baking after our lengthy sojourn in Europe. The event was a great success and the food — especially the baked goods — was wonderful. Many new ideas for breakfasts next summer! Recipes for the baked goods came mostly from Thomas Keller’s beautiful new cookbook, Bouchon Bakery (Artisan Books), and from the new cookbook from our favorite Portland bakery: Alison Pray and Tara Smith, Standard Baking Company Pastries (Down East Press).
