Liscombe Lodge
Liscombe bills itself as a nature lover’s resort, and it certainly does offer access to both forest and sea—it’s situated on a remote part of the coast, adjacent to hiking trails and a popular boating area at the mouth of the Liscomb River. But it’s not exactly wilderness here. The well-tended lawns, modern architecture (a central lodge plus a series of smaller cottages and outbuildings), shuffleboard courts, marina, and free Wi-Fi testify to the middle-to-upper income summer-campness of the place. What makes it swell for vacationing families are the tons of kid-friendly offerings (table tennis, horseshoe pitches, and so forth). Outdoor types will enjoy the guided kayak trips, hikes, and bird watches. Rooms here are modern and motel-like; the cottages and chalets have multiple bedrooms (again, good for families). The Riverside Dining Room is open to the public and offers pleasing views of the river and rugged landscape; it competently prepares seafood, beef, chicken, and other mains, but with no particular originality.
