Lobster 🦞 Rolls 😋

🦞 Heads up, lobster lovers: Kennebunk’s The Clam Shack has been serving up legendary lobster rolls since 1968… out a tiny window that somehow doesn’t make the experience feel tiny.

Pro tip: watch for their specials — when they shuck too much lobster, the early birds (or the really hungry ones) get the feast. Celebrity sightings? Yep, it happens. But honestly, it’s the buttery, perfectly packed lobster rolls that keep everyone coming back.

Casual vibes. Big flavor. Ocean views optional. But the line? Very real. And very worth it. 🐚💛

💎📖✨ Gem on the Preserve Celebrates Poetry Month ✨📖💎

April is National Poetry Month, and there’s no better place to celebrate than here in Maine — the home of beloved poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, born in Rockland.

Inspired by Maine’s coastline, open skies, and quiet beauty, her words captured the romance and rhythm of nature — something we feel every day here at Gem 💎 on the Preserve.

There’s something about a peaceful morning coffee on the patio, birds in the trees, and the stillness of the preserve that feels like poetry in itself. 🌿

This month, we invite you to slow down, breathe in the Maine air, and maybe even bring along a favorite book of poems.

Because sometimes the most beautiful verses aren’t just read… they’re lived.

💛🏡 National Mom & Pop Small Business Day – March 29 🏡💛

Today we’re celebrating the heart of every community — small, family-owned businesses.

At Gem 💎 on the Preserve, being a small business isn’t just what we are — it’s what we believe in. Shopping local and choosing locally sourced products matters because:

✨ It keeps money in the community and supports local families

✨ It helps preserve the unique character of our towns

✨ It supports creativity, craftsmanship, and small-scale makers

✨ It creates personal connections you simply don’t get with big-box retailers

Some of the décor at Gem on the Preserve is thoughtfully purchased from local artists and small shops right here in Maine — because we love filling our cottage with pieces that tell a story and support talented makers. Every stay helps support not just us, but the small businesses that make Southern Maine so special.

Thank you for choosing small. Thank you for supporting local. And thank you for supporting us. 💛

👇 We’d love to spread the love — share a small local business you shopped at recently and tag them below to show them some support today!
💛
