Ogunquit B&B

We are always delighted when we read a review from a first-time inngoer who has become a B&B fan. But we are also thrilled to learn about a B&B so beloved that travelers return over and over again. This week's featured review is for Gazebo Inn Ogunquit in Maine by a traveler who can't get enough of ithe inn.

This Ogunquit B&B is a BedandBreakfast.com Diamond Collection member in a restored 1847 farmhouse and barn. The 14 newly-renovated suites have luxurious amenities such as king-sized beds, two-person Jacuzzi tubs, walk-in steam rooms, and gas fireplaces. Other amenities include a gym, sauna, library, massage room, and a 5,000-gallon salt hot tub year-round.

Review: "Perfection, as usual"

My husband and I have been coming here a couple of times a year for the last six years (can't believe it has been that long) and it is just spectacular. Whether we are here with a group or as a couple, every detail of our visits have always been attended to to the point of perfection. There is not one thing I would change, and everyone that comes up with us says the same thing. They do not dissapoint, unless of course you are my father and you are looking for the recipe for their scones, he's still trying to work out a deal with Peter [the innkeeper]! :) If you want to stay in lower Maine, this is absolutely the place to be. If we can't get a room here, we don't come. That's how much we love this place. And when Bruce [the other innkeeper] came out to help us with our luggage and greeted us with a "welcome home," that is exactly how it feels! Scott, Bruce and Peter (and Nick) are just wonderful, like members of our family.

Take a Moose Safari in Greenville, Maine

April 19, 2012 18:44 by Emily

The Lodge at Moosehead Lake is a Diamond Collection member in Greenville, Maine. The lodge started offering moose safaris for its guests 20 years ago. According to the innkeepers, "It's a fact that more moose live in the North Woods of Maine than anywhere else in the lower forty-eight states, so the chance to view them in their natural habitat is great. The months of May, June and July are primary moose sighting opportunities, but you can see moose long into October. Early spring brings new calves and twins are not uncommon."

The safaris are offered early morning or late afternoon and are led by Ed Mathieu, a Registered Maine Guide. You take off in canoes to explore the wildlife, though they also offer trips for those who prefer not to take a canoe. In addition to moose, you might also see deer, beavers at work building a dam, loons, snowshoe hare, gray squirrel and possibly a bald eagle.

Below is a photo of a moose spotted on one of the safaris.
