It is such a fun time of year! After all the meetings and planning sessions and lists and anticipation we are watching Robyn’s work come to fruition! Wedding time; we have already had the pleasure of witnessing Alicia and Ryan, Miguel and Lindsay, as well as Alison and Jason start their married lives here on the shores of Sebago Lake. A lot of staff, returning and new, have arrived and unpacked their bags and been put right to work. The kitchen is turning out beautiful meals, as satisfying to look at as they are to eat. Flowers are blooming, the housekeeping staff has polished away all vestiges of winter—we are ready and up and running!
Good thing Scott has been handy with his iPhone for a few pictures; others, so far, are being enjoyed by their subjects. Send some along to migismary@live.com if you’d like to share!
Still some choice openings available for the season. Give Robyn or Scott a call at 207-655-4524 to inquire about reservations. And have a look at our new website; we’re not remodeling buildings only this year!
I took a call today from Elaine about her upcoming reservation, and she was so enthused about the fireplace where she stayed last year that I just had to go and look up her accommodation. She’s so right! That fireplace in Gray Gull I is fascinating, full of glittery bits and surprises poked in among the larger fieldstones. Shown here are pictures of the fireplace, and a picture OF a picture of the fireplace, gentleman fishers and all.
And of course I do believe (I’d better check) it’s the oldest on the property, going back to 1916. Gray Gull I and II evolved out of Green Camp, which was the original main lodge here at Migis. The common living room was the gathering spot for the eight sleeping rooms that shared it. One of my favorite bedrooms is here, too, tiny and cozy and made for piney dreams.
Give Scott and Robyn a call at 207-655-4524; we may have those perfect Maine vacation dates you’re hoping for!
…but if it were it would come in handy today. The wind is howling out there, and the rain just keeps on coming! Here, a few days ago, is our neighbor further west along 302, in Naples. The Songo River Queen has been stylishly (basic black) wrapped for the winter and will emerge soon for another season of meandering up and down Long Lake. We do have plenty to do (or not do as may be your preference) here at the Lodge, but now and then it’s pleasant to get out and see what else the Lakes Region has to offer!
Scott’s away this week, but Robyn will be happy to answer your reservation inquiries at 207-655-4524 or migis@migis.com. And we are going to assume that this spring rain will make for a lush, flowery and green early summer!
If you’re waiting to add your guess to the Sebago ice-out pool, it may be that you’re a little late. It’s positively balmy out there today. Lake Auburn was declared officially ice-free on Monday, very early, so can we be far behind? And if you’re having thoughts about some serious summer fishing, why not give Brooke a call? He’ll be happy to show you where they’re biting!
We welcome and enjoy your comments on our blog. They sometimes take a day or two to appear on the site, so if you have a remark to make and haven’t seen it here, you will shortly! And don’t forget; we still have some great openings for 2010, so be sure and give Robyn and Scott a call for your reservation. 207-655-4524
This day of celebrating All Things Green takes me outdoors for a walk in the glorious sunshine. Approaching 60 today here in South Casco!! One enjoyable pasttime I’ve found in the last few years, with or without kids in tow, is letterboxing. Have you heard of it? Increase your finds, or start a new hobby—you’ll find plenty of opportunities to practice this one here in the Lakes Region. And (what do you know?) even right here at Migis!
“LETTERBOXING is an intriguing pastime combining navigational skills and rubber stamp artistry in a charming “treasure hunt” style outdoor quest. A wide variety of adventures can be found to suit all ages and experience levels.”
…and better yet after a visit to the wooded wellness center. What a location for a massage! The guys are on another remodeling project now as I found when I wandered down the path following the sound of the circular saw into the woods. Also overseeing the work was Adam’s new rescued dog Annie. Welcome aboard, Annie!
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!
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?
