When asked about navigating the seasonal hiring rush, our Innkeeper, Jean, shared a statistic that speaks to the heart of who we are: year after year, more than 90% of our team members choose to return to the resort. In an industry where retaining even half of a seasonal workforce is a challenge, that number means everything to us. It proves that when you build a culture of genuine appreciation, people want to come back.
But true hospitality excellence isn't just about who returns—it’s about who we welcome in.
We believe in creating a community where everyone has a seat at the table. Through our inclusive hiring initiatives, like the Raising People Up program, we are deeply committed to breaking down barriers to entry. By partnering with local organizations, we intentionally create meaningful, supportive career pathways for individuals who face significant employment challenges.
A strong community is an inclusive one, and we’re honored to do our part in shaping a workforce that reflects the true spirit of Maine hospitality 💙

It takes tens of thousands of workers to cater to the nearly 10 million visitors who will spend billions of dollars during Maine’s summer and fall tourist seasons. To fill those jobs, businesses do anything and everything they can.
