Maine's Isle au Haut Inn Gourmet Experience
The Isle au Haut off the coast of Maine is surely one of the hidden treasures for those seeking an out-of-the way island vacation. The Ellsworth American, a local Maine newspaper, has published an article, "Island Inn Offers Foodie Getaway", describing a culinary adventure offered by residents of the Isle au Haut. The weekend getaway is offered by the Inn at the Isle au Haut, lobsterwoman and author Linda Greenlaw, and the gourmet chocolatier Kate Shaffer. My wife and I stayed at the Isle au Haut in June 2007 to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my recent return from a tour in Iraq. It was a wonderful time. The inn has only four rooms so the atmosphere is quiet and cozy. The guests who shared the weekend with us included a mother and daughter from Mississippi and a folk singing trio from the mid-west. The innkeeper, Diana Santospago, is a wonderful host and excellent cook. The island is simply lovely with superb rocky seacoast walking trails in the park along the southern coast. If you bring a bike you will have traffic free roads and great biking trails. To learn more about this lovely island see information about the Isle au Haut, Maine.
