After your toboggan building class, Hartstone's innkeeper will greet be there with two signature Slippery Slope cocktails, served with a delicious nibble from the kitchen. Happy hour is followed by a five-course chef's tasting menu.
Later, take a shirt walk to the picturesque Camden Harbor, which offers views of historic Windjammers, lighthouses, charming shops to browse, and marine wildlife and recreation to enjoy.
After a day working on your toboggan or exploring the area, return to your guest room or suite that features carefully chosen furnishings and original artwork for a relaxing evening.
The AAA Four Diamond Hartstone Inn, owned by husband-wife team Chef Michael Salmon and Mary Jo Brink, is just a short distance from Camden Snowbowl, home of the annual U.S. National Toboggan Championship, which takes place in Early Feb.
