We took a half hour tour on a rainy Friday afternoon and enjoyed a very entertaining history lesson…read moreas well as at least a half dozen Galong boxed chocolates along the way. Our tour guide was extremely charming, and gracious, but also young and still learning the story. That being said she did a great job. The tour covers the Galong family history, and goes through a bunch of production techniques they have used over the years. I felt like Charlie on a tour of Wonka's factory looking at some of the gizmos Galong has used to make chocolate over the years. There were some cool grainy historical videos that hopefully they will be able to preserve. In the exhibit there are a much of examples of old packaging too. I had never tasted a raw cocoa nib before so that was also very interesting. Overall we had a lovely experience. If you are just over the border and looking for a stop in St. Stephen, otherwise known as the chocolate capitol of Canada, you could do worse!

We loved this place. It's a large yellow building, easy to find on Main Street in Machias. This is…read morethe site of the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War. We were visiting from the Midwest and admittedly don't recall many details from history class, so we literally thought it was a historical site that had been turned into a bar and wondered if the staff would be dressed up as war re-enactors! It is not that at all and it turned out to be a highlight of our stay in Maine. The guide we had is a history teacher and she knew a lot about a lot-the actual events but also the real humans involved and their families. She knew all about how households of the time were run, typical family routines and roles, how foods were prepared, household tools and textiles, attitudes and social expectations, superstitions and legends. She inspired all three of us (two adults and a teenager) to learn more about Machias and the Revolutionary War in general. This museum makes it so much easier to connect to the real people who lived through and made this history. It is unlike any other historical tour I've been on. I would have stayed longer if I could have. There is something for everyone here, it's not just about the war and shots fired. You go room by room and spend a good 20-30 minutes or longer in each room depending on how many questions you ask about the items in that room. It is a very detailed and data intensive tour, so don't go if you're hungover, hungry or not in the mood to absorb, observe and be immersed. If you are a naval history buff or a Revolutionary War buff, call them and schedule a visit to see if you can help them identify some of the pieces they've received over the years from folks who maybe didn't know what they were donating. I don't recommend this for young kids or people who aren't comfortable in small spaces. The museum is a boarding house/tavern and has been kept pristine in its original 1770s state, so think very small rooms, low ceilings. The tour groups are kept small so there is enough room as you walk through. Call ahead to schedule and make sure there is a guide available on the day you want to go. I was so impressed with the passion and dedication behind this tour. We were there two weeks ago and are still talking about it and looking up books at the library.

I booked the Ocean Bay Cottage for my family of 3 for a wedding on the property and really wanted…read moreto love it, but I'm sorry to say it was a bad experience from the moment we arrived. First, we entered the cabin to find it was not cleaned or prepared for us. The amount of dead bugs and frass lining every single wall and corner of the cabin, under the beds and couches, etc., was absolutely disgusting. The thought of my 5 year old playing on this floor and walking around barefoot completely skeeved me out. My husband found a broom and dustpan in one of the closets and spent over an hour sweeping it all out. The worst part about this was that I was charged a $150 cleaning fee as part of my final invoice before arriving. We got a hold of Ross who was apologetic and said he would refund the cleaning fee (the cleaning lady "forgot" to prep our cabin). He also said it had been about three weeks since someone had last used the cabin, so that's what happens when it sits empty. I received an email later that day confirming that $95 had been refunded to my card which honestly did not feel adequate, we assumed it was going to be a full $150 refund considering how much we'd already paid to rent the cabin and that we had to waste our time cleaning it ourselves. The coffee maker was also a disgusting mess, filled with scale and years of coffee grounds stuck to everything where grounds were not supposed to be. It took almost an hour to scrape clean and then scrub - this thing had clearly never been cleaned, ever. We even contemplated going out and buying a new coffee maker altogether but there's nowhere in the area to go for anything like that. The hot water heater had not been turned on for us so it took awhile once we figured that out to get hot water. Fine. But now for the worst part. The cabin has well water which we're used to from home, but the sulfur smell was so strong it made the entire stay a nightmare. The well desperately needs to be treated. Ross told us to run the water for awhile and trust me, we did (for a very, very long time) and it didn't help at all. I couldn't get over the smell of rotten eggs for the entire 5 days we were there. Every single time the water was turned on (even for a few seconds) it started all over again and I needed to step away. I couldn't wash my face without gagging uncontrollably, and the lingering smell after turning the water off meant having to constantly open up all the windows to air out the cabin and sometimes even go for a walk after the water was on for awhile or hide in our bedroom with the door shut. I think I'm scarred from this, we went to breakfast one day and the smell of eggs made me gag.. it's going to take awhile to get over. All I can say is thank god we had family staying in the two nearby cabins. I was able to go shower and wash up there each day instead, though having to walk over in the pitch dark at night through grass that's completely filled with goose poop was not fun. I'm so glad I paid $265+ per night to not be able to use my own running water. Never again. From the moment we arrived I was counting the minutes until we could leave, especially since our bed had seen better days and my husband and I couldn't get good sleep for the entire stay. Weeks of chiropractic work was undone after sleeping on this miserable old mattress for 5 nights. Pros: Great view and we made some really nice fires in the fire-pit each night. That's about it. The property is nice and serene, just be sure you're an outdoorsy person and don't mind the smell of rotten eggs if you're considering booking.
