I am a business man and travel with my wife and a small dog. I look for quiet, location, and a welcoming warm feeling. This family operation is all of the above and more. Bucksport is a small seacoast town on the Penobscot River in Maine. It is a half hour from Bucksport, University of Maine, and just a bit more to Acadia National Park. It is open all year and for those who know Maine, it is at the edge of the "real" northern Maine forest. Fisherman, paper mills, woodsman, canoe builders (Old Town), and something for everyone. Its hidden away downtown, near Verona Island and the spectacular Vernona Bridge, a relative to the beautiful Bridge which welcomes you to Boston. Fort Knox sits in the bay across from the town and large boats navigate the river as far as Bangor. At the end of the driveway there is Dunkin donuts, a few fast few offerings, and downtown has a great book store, a nice clothing store, a small theatre, and a great walk along the river. The motel is clean with a variety of accomodatins, some with microwave, refrigerators, and an ambiance back to the 50;s. Some solar panels fit into the constant upgrading. No pretense, but a wonderful family operation.Hard working people, accomodating and kind staff the motel. I am a repeat guest so they recognize my family and welcome us when we call. Not fancy, but convenient, a place for a good nights sleep, quiet guests and on a good size chunk of property where you can walk around and relax. If you need a nice get away, not fancy, but very adequate, than visit this gem on the coast of Northern Maine. Think Lobster Dinners, Fried Clams, all very fresh, sometimes off the boat. Think rest and time out while being in the middle of a wonderland of quaintold Maine without the glitz of fast lane urban life Meet some great people along your way and enjoy going to Liberty Tools for old tools, or antique stores all along route 1. The Bucksport Motor Inn is my choice when I get a chance. bob kantar, SCC
