Natural Evolution: A New Family Retreat on Sebago Lake

This newly built getaway on the shores of Lake Sebago may look quite different from the 1970s camp that preceded it, but the property’s original intent—to bring family together—remains intact. “Lake Sebago is my favorite place on the planet,” says homeowner Ann LaCasce, who grew up visiting her grandparents’ camp and then, later, the one owned by her uncle. After her uncle’s passing in 2015, it eventually became clear to LaCasce that the deteriorating structure would need to be rebuilt if it were to continue operating as a family gathering place.

This Maine Café Makes Crepes, Sandwiches, And Desserts Gluten-Free Without Sacrificing Flavor

Not one speck of wheat, rye, or barley flour gets through the door at this café. Every crepe, sandwich, cupcake, and muffin on the counter is gluten-free. The menu doesn’t read like a list of sad substitutes, either. There are breakfast crepes, grilled sandwiches, quiches, buckwheat pancakes, and house-roasted coffee.

The 7 Maine Restaurants Whose Dining Rooms Still Feel Frozen In The 1950s

A quarter still buys you a song at one Maine diner. The jukebox is tiny, restored, and sitting right at your booth. I love that detail so much. It means somebody decided old music should still be part of breakfast, not locked in a museum. The rest of this list...

Maine comfort food is shaped by snowy winters, working waterfronts, and generations of home cooks. Consequently, the local table is full of hearty classics like creamy seafood chowders, slow-cooked bean-hole beans, warm turkey dinners, and boiled corned beef. Furthermore, in northern Maine, French Acadian and Québécois traditions add their own unique warmth through poutine, ployes, and chicken stews. No comforting meal remains complete without dessert, such as molasses-rich Indian pudding, classic whoopie pies, and fruit pies filled with the region’s rich harvest. Therefore, exploring these cozy classics turns chilly days into comforting feasts.

Meet Poppy, voted cutest cat in NH and Maine in our contest

We have to wait a bit longer to find out who's voted into office in the midterm elections. But the title of cutest cat in New Hampshire and Maine is decided. Poppy has won the vote of Seacoastonline.com and Fosters.com readers. Owner Missy Young says she's ("humbly") not surprised. "It’s not every day you get to lay eyes on a precious, Puss in Boots lookalike wonderful little owl baby!" she said. "We are so lucky to have her. We loved seeing all the other adorable cats in (Maine and New Hampshire). Cat people are the best!" Poppy emerged as the winner of a contest that started with 200 cats and involved five rounds of voting. Young and her boyfriend, Will Geoghegan, live in Portland, Maine, with Poppy, which she calls their "only child, and she's as spoiled as you'd expect." Poppy is a Scottish Fold cat the couple adopted through a North Carolina breeder. She said she became aware of the breed because Taylor Swift famously has two of them. "We’ve had Poppy for just shy of 2 years and she has brought us nothing but joy, smiles, and laughs," Young said. "I was finally in a place to settle
