some posts are just for fun…
My Father in-law brought this back from Ireland. It’s printed on a beautiful piece of Irish Linen so we framed it! Only fitting because we live on the coast (of Maine, not Ireland) but it’s by no means an accurate description of me! 🙂

Mountain Village Farm Bed and Breakfast…a very unique experience…
I recently had a conversation with one of my buyer clients regarding a listing they had seen a month or so ago – Mountain Village Farm Bed and Breakfast in Kingfield, near SKI Sugarloaf.

Nothing to do with innkeeping, just a great photo!
Captured this image a few days ago, the sky was perfectly clear and it was late afternoon. In fact, it was right after we saw the biggest Eagle we’ve ever seen, land with talons up, just 50 yards from the house! Didn’t see him fly off, however, so now we’ll be watching for Eagles!

Why did we sell our bed and breakfast?
Many people have asked me recently why we sold The Kingsleigh Inn. So I thought I would post something in my blog about why. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t because we were burnt out, or that we didn’t care to do it any longer. We put the inn on the market so that we
