自我介绍

I am the owner of the Deer Isle Hostel on Deer Isle, Maine. It's a quiet place down a side peninsula on the island next to the longest stretch of preserved shoreline here, the Tennis Preserve. When I came to the island I became an independent landscaper working in local stone and the granite quarried here. With an appreciation for native materials and carpentry, I started the Hostel as a way to express myself in rock and wood. I've worked with local wood and a portable sawmill to create the many buildings that make up the place, often using hand tools in the process. The location has been my off grid homestead since 2002, and the hostel opened in 2009. In the summer months we typically host 10 to 12 guests most nights in five or six private rooms or huts. The accommodations here are rustic, on the other hand it's fancy and convenient compared to camping. The location is quiet, peaceful, and dark enough for stargazing. It's a good place to meet other travelers around the camp fire and reconnect with nature.
