My Lobster Crepe wins People's Choice at the 2018 Harvest on the Harbor Maine Lobster Chef of the Year competition!!

WAIT, WHAT????

Yes. Crazy! I only participated because my Claw Down win qualified me for this completion. I really did hesitate because I am not a career chef, though I am very much wannabe, it was just never the right time to make that move. And I was up against tough competition. But I decided why not?

My Lobster Wonton wins at the 7th annual Boothbay Claw Down lobster competition!

And I WON 1st place for Judges Choice and People's Choice for my Lobster Wonton! I was truly shocked and honored that they appreciated my palate. The judges said: ”at the end of the judging, we all wanted another one” and “truly promotes the lobster flavor”.​ So the recipe will definitely go into the 2nd edition to Art of Breakfast due out May 2019 (which will be more than just breakfast).
So I am SUPER excited about this, because it's really only the second cooking competition I've ever done and quite honestly I'm really not that competitive, I do things to enjoy doing them, not to win (when I'm not working which is pretty much always)! I first entered the Cellardoor Smackdown in 2015 and won the people's choice award for my creamy poblano corn chowder with lobster. And on September 20, 2018 I competed in the Claw Down against some VERY talented career chefs.

The fact that I can wrap my cooking passion into my work is a really wonderful thing. Food is one of the things that often binds us. And it's a way of my connecting to my clients. And making connections and the food are two very important elements in the innkeeping life. 

​Check out more photos from the event! 

And my judge's first place win qualified me for the Harvest on the Harbor 2018 Maine Lobster Chef of the Year competition on 10/19/18. Wish me luck!

Craignair Inn is a beautiful waterfront inn on Clark Cove built in 1928 to house the quarry workers. It was converted to an inn in 1947 and has been in operation since. There are 21 guest rooms, a 45 seat dining room, a gorgeous view and located on a quiet, dead end residential street.

New owner will gain access to a high-functioning turnkey business.
Picture
The inn has 13 rooms and the vestry has 8. The decor is unique in all rooms and offers something for everyone. The inn will offer a buyer excellent good will among existing customer base, as evidenced by guest feedback on TripAdvisor, Facebook, booking.com and other reviews.  Voted "Best Seaside Country Inn" by Yankee Magazine! The inn’s reputation has been built in large measure on the delicious and beautifully presented meals.  Recipes and menus for breakfasts and dinner will be available to a new buyer. The Craignair restaurant chef loves having the winter off to reboot and come back ready to take on another busy season!

On the events side, the Craignair Inn has established relationships with a variety of caterers, florists, party rental vendors, musicians, and officiants for weddings. 90 guests can be hosted outside, and 45 inside. ​

​Offered at $1,475,000

New Portland, Maine Inn For Sale!

9/28/2017

0 Comments

 
Not often does an urban inn in downtown Portland hit the market. There aren't many to begin with and they aren't issuing new licenses in this historic, renowned section of town. Portland is HOT right now.

This is West End Inn.
Picture
The beautifully restored West End Inn was designed by John Calvin Stevens and constructed in 1871. The townhouse-style building was originally purchased by Freedom Nash, a local stove dealer, and is rich in original architectural detail. It remained a private residence until 1984 when it was converted to a bed and breakfast.
 
The West End Inn proudly sits within Portland’s prestigious West End, a residential neighborhood renowned for its brick-lined avenues, historic architecture and refined character. Just two blocks from the Inn, the graceful Western Promenade boasts Olmsted-designed walkways and grand western views across Maine to the White Mountains of New Hampshire and beyond. 

The impeccably maintained Victorian architecture of West End Inn is on strong display in the common dining and sitting rooms. Original details include twelve-foot ceilings adorned with anthemia medallions and large picture windows overlooking serene Pine and Neal Streets. The décor fully complements the inn’s innate architectural beauty with contemporary style.

Offered at $1,325,000

Two Maine Inn Sales in One Week!

9/15/2017

1774 Waterfront Inn in Phippsburg sold today! Jackie Hogg and John Atkinson sold to Sarah Dunagan. We welcome Sara to Phippsburg and to innkeeping!
Windward House Bed and Breakfast in Camden sold on 9/12. Kristen and Jesse Bifulco sold to Matt Dempsey and Dan Hall. We welcome Matt and Dan to Camden and to innkeeping!
It certainly seems like more and more buyers are escaping their 'regular' jobs from more urban and highly populated areas to land in Maine. And to own their own business. So many are finding that innkeeping provides that right mix of lifestyle and business. And there's nothing better than being your own boss. And in MAINE! ♥️

Now is the best time to start your search. You have plenty of time to get in before Maine's high season begins in May. And working with an experienced inn broker/specialist (and educator) can make all the difference. And I still have some fantastic listings. Contact me, let's talk!

Love this new very visual marketing platform!

9/4/2017

I decided that as much as I do like my website, and am told others do as well, I was looking for something a little more dynamic for marketing. After all, dynamic is far more interesting than something that is static. Essentially the content is almost the same (contains a bit more info than the listing on my website) but it's far more visual. And that's what it's all about. Check them out. And thanks for visiting!

SOLD 4/4/17! Glenmoor By the Sea Resort in Lincolnville, Maine

4/5/2017

0 Comments

 
It's been a busy 2017 so far! My fourth closing in four months. That's a pretty good pace  (keep in mind, businesses don't sell at the same pace as a private home) and buyers are loving Maine (so are tourists if you've seen my post on 2016 being a record year for Maine tourism)! Rates are climbing slightly, but they remain historically low.

No time better than the present to do something you've long considered, for tomorrow is not promised...
