We loved our stay at Balbeag.  Really wish we could have stayed longer. You really have a gem of a cottage there.  Seeing roe deer come around the cottage & watching the red squirrels & woodpeckers eating from the bird feeders was amazing.  The cottage was also so clean & well equipped with everything we could need.  It’s such a beautiful area and we really enjoyed it
