A fluffy golden feather boa of trees that wraps itself over the shoulders of the white houses on the shore…it will take us some time to adjust to life at home after this enchanted visit to your Welch House in Boothbay Harbor. While your brochure says a lot about the views, nothing is said, modestly, about the fresh, seasonal, gourmet breakfasts we've had. A delicious surprise! Thank you seems simplistic - thank you both, Susan & Michael, for a memorable stay!

"Honey, let's go to Maine for our honeymoon!" What an AWESOME choice. We could not have picked a better spot to enjoy our first week together as husband and wife. A delicious new breakfast that makes our taste buds want for more every morning. An endless amount of tea to warm us after a full day of shopping (me) and driving (Steven). A view, one we could enjoy every day of our lives. An energy that just fills you with the warmth of love - thank you for everything you are, Susan & Michael, and everything you will continue to be for many, many more years. You have instilled a peace in both of our souls that we forgot was there. Life seems to pull us in all different directions but our time here at the Welch House has put us back together again! We will be back to see you soon! Thank you again for everything! Best wishes, peace, and light to you.

The Welch House…"a jewel among the stones". Everything was so wonderful and exceeded our expectations! We must surely have gained weight in this "gourmet environment!" We'll be back to enjoy your hospitality.

I'm listening to Celtic music and talking to Michael (the owner). What a soothing place to be! The violets are real, the air is wet, and I'm enjoying the conversation in the background, playing scrabble…Thanks so much for your hospitality and clean rooms!

Susan & Michael, Our return to the Welch House after 33 years far exceeded our expectations. Our "room with a view" and your wonderful breakfasts (gypsy eggs benedict and blueberry/cream cheese stuffed French toast especially) made everything about our stay better. Thanks for your sightseeing tips, but especially your warmth and hospitality. We shall definitely return!
