Grey Rock enjoys seven acres of beautiful alpine trails bounded on two sides by Acadia national Park.  You can hike through virgin forests passing magnificent granite cliffs covered with lichen and moss while glimpsing ocean views on your way up to a 360 degree panorama from the summit of Norumbega Mountain.  My two sons, Adam and Karl, have lived at Grey Rock for more than 30 years and have explored most of the 200 miles of carriage and hiking trails that criss-cross through Acadia national park.  They are available everyday to help you with your holiday itinerary, which may include whale-watches, naturalist boat tours to the outer islands, sailing in antique wooden sloops, visits to island museums and local flower gardens, birdwatching walks, or horse-and-carriage rides in the park. 

Grey Rock is a seven minute walk to the picturesque village of Northeast Harbor with its old-fashioned quality shops and also to our marina which is a famous yachting basin.  Goodness!  After all this fun, it's time to come back to your home base at Grey Rock and relax with afternoon tea or to browse through my wonderful collection of books, or to discuss your dinner reservations at our favorite restaurants.
