Down in the North Country



Found a very secluded cottage in the Northeast Kingdom for a few days, and am so delighted with the layout of the place. 


Located less than 15 minutes from East Burke/Burke Mountain. The little downtown was hopping with live music at one place, and a couple of outdoor bars are brimming with people. We found an absolutely charming place called the Burke Publick House  and had the whole upstairs to ourselves for an early dinner.


Back at the cottage, nothing is shaking, which is absolutely fine. A few acres of nicely groomed rolling landscape behind the house, and a small pond revealed itself to us. 


The view from the second story porch is nice as well. On the way back from East Burke, a moose was close to the road, and we slowed down to make sure they didn't cross in front of us. Early this morning a very large black bear was in our backyard near the pond. Tomorrow, we venture to Island Pond and skirt the Canadian border for more nature, adventure and peace of mind.
