Maine Stay Inn ~ An Insider's Guide to Kennebunkport

This weekend at Kennebunkport's Maine Stay Inn, we held a celebration of the coming of Spring. The inn, including each of the guest rooms, was adorned with flowers and flower arrangements.

Guests spending the weekend at the inn were given complimentary tickets to the Portland Flower Show, Northern New England's largest flower show.

Today, Saturday, March 11, 2006 could not have been a better day to "jump start" the spirit of Spring in all of us. Temperatures peaked in the high 50's and the sky was clear. If one was not already afflicted, there was no escaping today's heavy dose of Spring Fever.

This evening some of our guests gathered for a wine and cheese reception. These get togethers are one of the best reasons to be an innkeeper. Oh yes, everyone knows there is alot of work as an innkeeper, but the people you meet make it a wonderful and rewarding endeavor.

What's next? Well, next weekend promises to be one of the best. We are having a brew pub tour and dinner. In conjunction with Federal Jack's Restaurant and Brewpub, our guests will have a custom tour of their brewing operations followed by a beer tasting dinner. Each course will be paired with a brew that compliments the dish. A little out of the ordinary, but it should be lots of fun.

One final item, The Maine Stay Inn's Cottage Suite #7 will be back in service after a couple of weeks of redecorating. Not just with new wallpaper and paint, but also a new flat panel LCD television with DVD and new fireplace mantel. New chairs and furniture are just a couple of weeks away, but the room will be ready to go by next weekend.

Happy Spring (a little early) to all. Summer can't be too far away.
