"Living in Maine comes with the gift of being able to experience a place in a totally different way come winter. When I walked into the lobby of the Samoset Resort in Rockport, the panoramic view showcased a fresh January snowfall blanketing the championship golf course, where cross-country skiers were making sure the greens still felt a purpose. In the backdrop, the Atlantic looked a little mightier than it does in the summer. But the cold didn't stop guests from venturing across the mile-long rocky breakwater to catch an up-close glimpse of the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse." - Travel + Leisure Editors
