Winter-Ready Lodgings in Lamoine
SeaCat’s Rest is the ideal spot for winter visitors to Acadia who may be looking for a year ’round cabin or cottage. We were made aware of this recently when we had an inquiry from someone who tried to find an oceanside cabin only to discover most places are buttoned up ’till spring or summer. Chances are, these summer cottages would be drafty and cold anyway, since they weren’t built with four seasons in mind. Our apartment is built with double exterior walls, south (ocean) facing windows for maximum solar gain and two sources of heat. As I write this, on November 8, our solar tank is filled with 80 gallons of 125 degree water from our rooftop collectors.
The apartment is always heated, so you will never encounter icy surprises. Also, we don’t allow our cats in the apartment ever, so there are no allergy issues or funky odors. Winter days can be quite bright and beautiful. The low sun angle bounces off the water and actually shines on the ceiling to chase away the winter blues. Should a power failure occur, we have a standby generator and plenty of firewood.
People visit in the winter for a variety of reasons. One guest is coming from Wisconsin to interview a famous area resident for her graduate study. Others come to visit family or for house hunting. Our proximity to Main Coast Memorial Hospital, MDI Hospital and Jackson Lab make us convenient for job interviewees or temporary workers. Finally, some come just to get away and see the Maine coast in its winter glory!
