Our family of three (Lisa, Bob, and 11 year old, Acadia) lives in the beautiful coastal fishing town of Harpswell, Maine. We love to travel to Costa Rica during the winter. The biodiversity, wildlife, and culture are a few of what attracts us to this small, but rich Central American country. We anticipate our annual vacation to this warmer climate during Maine's winters.
Bob, a well-known local builder, designed and built the Winter Street Rental with simplicity in mind, splurging on some amenities that we consider to be important. We love to cook, so we incorporated a full kitchen, wide open to the living area. Maine winters are long, and bright indoor spaces are a necessity which was the inspiration to add large windows throughout. With over 30 years of building experience, he realized that wheelchair accessibility was something that was missing in the rental community. Bob built this unit so all could enjoy, even those with mobility challenges.
Lisa, a five-time national Olympic-style boxing champion and coach, left her career as an Environmental Health and Safety Director to pursue personal boxing training and be more available for six year old, Acadia. She operates The Boxing Studio located in Topsham, where she offers personal training through boxing to improve fitness and build confidence.
Acadia, named after the magnificent Acadia National Park, has her own egg farm along with a collection of other farm animals. She loves all things outdoors, and spends a lot of her time at her farm and playing with her cat.
We enjoy being outdoors, hiking, traveling, farming, and being out on the water. We love hosting because we meet so many wonderful people in which many become long-lasting friends who we look forward to returning each year.
