Maine is a state rich in adventure, relaxation, culture and of course great food.  Whether new to Maine, a state resident or loyal visitor there are two things everyone has heard about – Maine Lobster and Maine Blueberries.  The oh so popular question of “Where do the locals go” is one we’d like to answer.  Truthfully many native Maine-ahs have bags of fresh blueberries and shelves of homemade blueberry jam, but where do they get all those blueberries?  Here are the Top Five local favorites for Maine Blueberries:

#1 Stonewall Kitchen – York, Maine.  Enjoy their famous Maine Blueberry Jam, watch as they create it in the production room or enjoy a lunch in the café.

Hannah at the front desk was taking a reservation for an elderly guest who had signed up for our Newsletter and received a coupon for her Anniversary Getaway.  As noted on the coupon it has to be presented at check-in, the guest told Hannah she did not have a printer.  Hannah offered to print the coupon here and would have it ready for when she arrived.  The guest was so happy that it would be taken care of for her.

Michelle at the front desk overheard a guest in lobby discussing their disappointment that the spa services were fully booked on this busy weekend.  She compiled a list of her favorite local spa’s and checked for their availability and offered the information to guest.
