*($205 – $295 for two) (American Eagle $345 for two)
Our Valentine's Day package usually happens only when Valentine's Day falls on a weekend but our guests have requested otherwise.

Package includes 3 course lobster dinner for 2 on the 12th, continental breakfast and 2 nights.

May 20-22 • "Wings, Waves & Woods" Birding Weekend
*($130 – $220 for two) (American Eagle $270 for two)
This 5th annual birding event offers guided bird walks & talks, eagle nest viewing, pelagic & puffin boat trips, a "local foods" dinner, slide presentation, photographing birds demo, gallery shows and art lessons.

Special Offerings Mid-May through Mid-October

"Best of Both Worlds" Moose Safari!
*($600 – $660 for two) (American Eagle $780 for two)
Spend 2 nights at the Inn on the Harbor and 2 nights at the farm house on Mountain Glory Farm overlooking Mount Katahdin and Baxter State Park. On one of your days at the Farm enjoy a 5 hour moose safari with Dale Stevens, who guarantees you will see moose (from mid-May through August). Although there are thousands of moose in Maine, knowing where to find them in the Great North Woods at any given time is Dale's specialty. It's a photographer's delight! Package includes 4 nights & moose safari for 2. Stay at either location first.

Moose & Mountain Glory Farm
*($400 – $415 for two)
Spend 3 nights at our lovely 1890 farm house on Mountain Glory Farm and enjoy a 5 hour moose safari. Although we do have moose on the farm, we have yet to train them to let us know when they plan to walk about. So taking a safari with Dale is a sure fire way to see these wonderful creatures in their wild native habitat plus other beautiful flora & fauna of the Great North Woods. Package includes 3 nights & moose safari for 2.

How many moose might you see? Dale's "moose siting" calendar looks something like this: Mid-May & June average 12 to 30 moose. July averages 10 to 12. August averages 1 to 5. September & October are "iffy" months averaging 1 to 3. He offers a money back guarantee from mid-May through August. From mid-May through August tours depart at 4pm, returning at 9pm. During September and October tours leave at 5:30am (that’s right!) and return at 10:30am. The "safari" van is clean, non-smoking, air conditioned and seats 9. Tours leave rain or shine from Millinocket. There are "pottie" (and smoking) stops along the way. Private tours for 2 people are available at an additional $300.
