When Pam and I go to Maine, there are two towns we spend a lot of time in mostly because they are both roughly the same distance from the lake where we live. These two towns are both wonderful, quaint and endlessly charming places to spend a morning, afternoon or evening and they are both on the ocean. One is Camden, the other is pictured in this photograph—Belfast, Maine.
The good news is that this award is well deserved. Belfast is a wonderful place filled with great shops and restaurants and a variety of quirky co-ops and breathtaking views around every corner. The bad news is that with this added publicity now more people than ever will want to move here, which will send real estate prices skyward—the very last thing you need when you’re trying to buy a lake house.

Just in case you’re curious, I have circled below all the different lakes we have rented cabins on over the years. The one with double circles is our beloved Quantabacook.
Our crack real estate agent, Tiffany Ford, sent me a text this week saying, “I’m feeling like we’re going to find your lake house this year.” When I asked on what she was basing this optimism her answer was, “Because I feel it.” This is in sharp contrast to my feeling that I have never been more discouraged about our chances, to which she cracked in that quintessential Maine way—“Stop being a pessimist!!”
