Hayley is freshly back from her vacation and she’s got me dreaming about an island escape of my own. As luck would have it, Nebo Lodge on North Haven is exactly my idea of a good time. This 9-room inn is beautifully situated and comfortably furnished, but honestly, it’s the food that really piqued my interest… the food that comes out of surrounding Penobscot Bay, Turner Farm, and the inn’s restaurant. Heaven on North Haven!

During the days I can imagine kayaking, biking, and going on a one-hour guided tour of the farm. Turner Farm provides certified-organic vegetables, poultry and eggs to the restaurant. They raise beef, pork, and make- what I can only imagine is delectable-chèvre and aged goat cheese. The farm also features a big barn where they host family-style dinners celebrating the bounty of the island. Bon Appétit named Nebo Lodge the fifth best food lover’s hotel inn in America. Hayley can have Monhegan, I’ll take North Haven.

With mind and appetite away on an island, Blair
