Inn at Long Lake's First Guests!

Greetings from a warm, sunny day by Long Lake in Maine!



A short while ago Cheryl and James P. from Lilburn, Georgia stayed at the inn. Shortly after check-in, they revealed to Gail (my administrative assistant) and I that they were Inn at Long Lake's FIRST guests!



Back in the 1980's when the building was converted into an inn, Cheryl and James recalled the story of needing accommodations as they traveled Route 302 through town. They pulled into the inn, met the owners (who were a little nervous about having their first guests, but charming nonetheless).



In the morning, Cheryl made a comment to the innkeeping couple that shades would be a nice touch in the guest room (they stayed in the Freeport Room, now called The Copland Room). The innkeepers accepted the suggestion kindly and fed them breakfast. Cheryl and James went on with their lives and returned this August to reflect on their years away.



While every guest that comes to Inn at Long Lake is special, Cheryl and James will always have the honor of being its first guests! (Sorry, the video is 5 seconds long--Gail trpped over a squirrel).

Have a great day...or whichever type of day you want. ;-)
