Quiet here in the office, but plenty of activity afoot. Tim is helping out in the laundry, Ian is working on the railing around the dining room deck, Jed is arranging training for new staff. Willow has been here planting on this cool, sparkly day and Joan is figuring out when she can get the painters into Sunset. Sarah is on the phone with our transportation partners, and Robyn is especially focused, putting the finishing touches on Julia and Andrew’s upcoming weekend wedding plans and labeling that folder ready!
Colby has ushered out the last of an annual corporate group, accountants from Portland. We’re always pleased to welcome their June event and to hear their satisfaction with the meeting arrangements, meals, boat rides, accommodations. “See you next year, Colby!”
Wandering down to the venerable swing that Gene and Grace Porta installed in 68, I wonder how many marriage proposals have taken place there. AND I just waded into the lake! Come on in; the water’s fine! I dove in over the weekend; my first dive of the summer on Saturday afternoon, followed by another for good measure on Sunday morning at 7. There’s nothing like that first dive of the year–I do love it, though I’m not as adventurous as Phil was back in, when, March?

A quiet day here after a busy weekend! The Barn at Cry of the Loon opened for the season with lots of interesting new merchandise. Our brother chef Bryan up at the Inn at Ocean’s Edge http://www.diningattheedge.com/ shared a recipe on New England Cable Television yesterday. We said goodbye to Anna and Owen after their beautiful Memorial Day weekend wedding (I particularly liked their place cards, made up on a typewriter–we all have our favorite details!). The guy from the fireworks company stopped by to confirm our show right here at the main dock July 3. What else? A light rain is falling on our thirsty plant life, and Willow is out tending to the gardens. A new finish is being applied to the dining room floor. Robyn is updating her next couple of wedding folders, and Sarah is fielding reservation phone calls. Jeanie is choosing a new carpet for the wellness center waiting area–and I think I’ll run down to Lake House and take a few pictures. Care to come along?
Still some nice openings; give us a call! 207-655-4524
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!
might not fully realize what it means to see our thermometer at this level on April 2! To be able to walk about in a t-shirt enjoying the sounds and sights of spring is such a pleasure. This is a day full of new life, new projects, new staff interviews, and familiar faces appearing to see, well, what’s new! Have you met Eldren? I interrupted him having his lunch in his truck—————he’s busy turning on the water all over the property, as he has for 26 years now. He must have been in junior high school when he started!
Earlier today, the bearded one and myself took an eight mile walk to benefit the Casco and Raymond food pantries. Perfect day for it.
Robyn is hearing more and more from the spring bridal parties; only a month until the first. She is still ready to take your 2010 reservation calls as well!
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!
Have a look at this spectacular wedding day! There is no place more beautiful and accommodating to tie the knot than Migis Lodge on Sebago Lake. There are still a couple of days available in 2010, so why wait! Give Robyn a call at 207-655-4524 and let the festivities begin…………
That Elizabeth sure knows what she’s talking about. Kate and Kris, newlyweds four days now, lingered on an extra day and night here at Migis Lodge after their Saturday wedding. Who wouldn’t, given the opportunity and time! They’ve had the full spectrum of weather——–agreeable Friday, wet Saturday, spectacular Sunday and a couple of calm honeymoon days———–all enhanced by the magnificent October foliage and comfortable temperatures.
We here at Migis pause in our daily activities to appreciate and enjoy the glory of October days. Come join us some time!

p. s. Elizabeth Lawrence was a celebrated Southern (that’s okay) gardener and writer who died in 1985. Didn’t want to leave you wondering.
(and if you’d like a brief peek at the wedding, here’s the link)
Now that October is here, thoughts and planning return to upcoming Migis Lodge weddings. Robyn is busy finishing up details on the four events that will take place here at the end of the month. With our natural setting, fabulous food and accommodations, and unparalleled fall sunsets, there is no better place than Migis to tie the knot. But don’t take our word for it–see what Meredith has to say along with her Juevos Diablo remarks! And have a look at our own Amy and Phil on their special day.
