You take a time machine to the 1800's but you bring all your modern creature comforts with you. They have every single amenity you could desire, delicious breakfasts, heavenly beds, act as expertly knowledgeable guides for helping you plan sightseeing adventures and they are just wonderful people who make you feel like friends.....the only negative comment I have is that I am sad that there aren't Talbot House Inns EVERYWHERE in the US. If you come to Maine and you don't stop here, you vacation was incomplete!!

'Charlie's Barn' was there for YEARS full of books before we were lucky enough for Jim to buy it and continue it's stewardship, the posts that used to hold the 'Chalie's Barn' sign are still there in the corner of the barn that was so much part of my childhood from the 60's. This summer, I took my grandchildren up to Machias and we stopped in to see Jim and the book barn. Indeed, just as crowdeed with interesting volumes as when my Dad had it. Jim was gracious enough to allow me to show my Grand daughters the old Franklin stove I used lug wood for, the unheated bedroom I slept in for 17 years, the kitchen, my Dad's den,.... what a trip down memory lane. Jim is a wonderful man, as was my Dad. Stop by, say 'hi', and buy and interesting book before they all 'banned' by idiots. Dave Hilt, 'Charlie's Barn" youngest son.

The White Birch Exchange is the absolute best store of its type we've ever been to. The gentlemen…read morewho own it have impeccable taste and are always there with a smile on their faces willing to help make your design ideas a reality. Craig is so friendly and helpful he alone is worth the stop in. But all the beautiful, interesting items (usually with a story behind them) are top notch. And their inventory is always changing so we never let a trip go by to Eastport without making a stop or two. Having just bought a summer home in Easport, we have literally furnished half of our (new to us) home with furniture and decor items from the White Birch. And their prices are incredibly reasonable. Trust us, this place is not to be missed. We could not recommend it more. Buying local is usually a good idea but even more so with how incredible the White Birch is.
