Winter on Prouts Neck
The Inn is closed, the water has been drained, the reservations and administrative offices have been moved into Portland for the winter, the geothermal heat is still on, all-be-it set very low, and we’re now experiencing a January freeze. We often think about keeping the inn open year-round, and the picture of Sand Dollar beach near sunset yesterday gives you some idea why.
We can imagine the fires burning in the fireplaces, with guests milling about in the lobby and the Chart Room after a great day of hiking or cross country skiing on the beach or the golf course. Apres ski consisting of the Chef’s sampling of warm hors d’oeuvres and sipping seasonal wines by the fire while viewing Sand Dollar beach with Mt. Washington on the horizon. Ahh, maybe for another year.
