Headed out to check on some drapes in Whippoorwill, then had to keep going in the sunshine and relative warmth! No more Walking on Water; the little waves are lapping the shore again, and with the flora sort of winter bare I can see clear up to Pinetops, Cobblestone and Topside. A little audio added by Adam and Colby, taking the chain saws to some fallen trees near the first bend coming in. What else? Marcia’s meeting with bride Anna and her mother to choose flowers for her upcoming May wedding. So many beautiful details to think about!
Look at the dashboard on my computer screen. Can you believe it? Is this a good excuse to go out with the kids tonight and celebrate Maine Restaurant Week? Sure!
I’m about to head over and see how much more they got done yesterday afternoon. They’re so productive, these bridge builders! Improvements have been made on the walking trails, and now the path to Cliffside, Ledges and Moose Point. Maybe we could introduce carpentry as an Autumn Adventure. Another talent to share after Marcia demonstrates flower arranging! Walking through Migis on a blustery March day is a adventure in looking forward——–saw my first robin the other day.
Our home, that is! We had the opportunity to have a look at many extraordinary, exotic and beautiful travel destinations during our participation in last weekend’s Boston Globe Travel Show. And while we are all travelers and enjoy any chances to explore new places, we are always so pleased to come home to our places right here in Maine. Whether your preference is for the ocean, or for Sebago Lake, click your heels together three times AND call for your 2010 reservation!
Like many in the east, we’re having some peculiar weather here in Maine. We’ve had a lot of melting, to the dismay of the ski areas AND our basements, and now the sun is peeking through what has been a rainy morning. Then again, many inches of snow are anticipated for the weekend. Who knows? All of this brings out the longing for ease and comfort, which we have in abundance here at Migis through all seasons! On comfortable beds throughout the property are beautiful examples of that very American art form, the handmade quilt. A Trip Around the World or a Log Cabin are the perfect accessory to a lazy July afternoon nap, or after a hike on a crisp October afternoon.
Whether you are a quilt fancier, in search of a show, or a vacationer in search of the Maine experience, we offer access to either or both!
Many of our crew are in Boston today getting ready to open the Boston Globe Travel Show (yes, open to the public!) and some of us are here at Home Base enjoying the beautiful day. Have a look!
To catch one, one must become one with the environment in which one’s heart’s desire resides…….at least, I THINK that’s what he said. Phil’s getting ready for ice fishing, so he decided to check out their digs before he went out! Yikes!!!!!
February 12, and another sparkling, glorious day at Migis Lodge on Sebago Lake. The guys are working on the Sunfish docks, rebuilding and replacing, so when you come down for your morning sail or a little cruise in a motor boat a few short months from now, you may notice improvements under your bare feet. Today is the day to be doing this work! It is almost indescribably beautiful, nearing 40 degrees and quiet enough so that we can almost hear the fish under the ice.
Robyn and Scott have been busy confirming reservations with lots of folks. Are you among them?
“First boat leaves main dock at noon.” This weekly announcement heralds the launch of a favorite time honored adventure at Migis Lodge, our Wednesday island steak cookout. Mmmm————filets on the grill, potatoes and onions, corn on the cob, watermelon and ice cream———-after you’ve rinsed your fingers in the lake, will you paddle back? Make plans with someone for a tennis match later? Take a ride on the Tykona? Have a long swim in Sebago? Put your feet up for a good book and a nap? The wardrobes may have changed, but the pleasures of a Migis afternoon are still a summer highlight.
Have you spoken with Robyn and Scott about your 2010 reservation?
Some of us at Migis Hotel Group are off to Boston next month for the Globe travel show. It’s open to the public, so if you’re in the neighborhood, come say hello! We’ll be welcoming you at booth #418.
Working from a desk in Timbers today, and, in fact, the weather outside is far from frightful. It’s a lovely snowfall again, and Phil, Colby, Adam and Ian are out clearing the paths and keeping the Cry of the Loon accessible. The pristine beauty of Migis is so apparent in a quiet walk down to the cookout area. Fitness center, staff dock, sauna beach—————all are unmarred except for the occasional small animal print. Today’s is not snowman material; it is light and fluffy and a pleasure to walk through.
The mailbag holds correspondence from many of you today; call Robyn and Scott with your 2010 requests!
