Our Guests from Germany

We sadly said “good-bye” to our guests from Germany who are touring the USA on motorcycles (Harley-Davidsons)…so cool…they are spending 17 days visiting the northeast (including Canada).

It was amazing to see them all arrive on the bikes…with a large white van trailing behind that carried all their luggage!

We are posting one group photo that they were able to send us and they have promised to send us more when they return home to Germany.

They have sent us a link to show an animated map of their trip:

Greenville Inn at the End of Summer

Spring and summer have been glorious in northern Maine!

We are very thankful that we were spared the full impact of Hurricane Irene.

We hope our fellow New Englanders recover quickly from the severe flooding they have received from Irene’s rainfall.

We are looking forward to a welcoming all the leaf-peepers who will be soon visiting Moosehead Lake.

Our guests are continuing to enjoy white water rafting, scenic drives, seaplane rides, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, fishing and guided tours to see the fascinating wildlife Maine has to offer.

Moosehead Lake has so much to do…just ask us!

We are always thrilled when guests return for a visit…so we were extremely happy to see Bob & Terri Berthier again this year!  Last year, Bob shared some of his magnificent photos with us and he has generously shared some of this year’s fabulous photos…thank you, thank you, thank you!  (and, by the way, we REALLY enjoy our chats with you both!)

The sunset photos were taken during dinner…it seemed like everyone in the dining room was jumping up to run & get their cameras!
