🌲 New Advertiser Spotlight: Bear Mountain Inn – Waterford

We’re so happy to welcome Bear Mountain Inn in Waterford as one of our newest advertisers in the Lakes Region Area Guide.

Set right on the water, this charming inn is a beautiful spot for weddings and special gatherings — with full guest accommodations and a tastefully decorated barn that creates a warm, unforgettable setting. It’s the kind of place where memories are made.

It means a lot to see local businesses believing in one another and in our region. When they choose to be part of the Area Guide, they’re helping keep our Lakes Region strong, connected, and thriving. I’m truly grateful to play a small role in helping share their stories.

If you’re a local business owner, we’d be honored to have you join us — become an advertiser in our online Area Guide and be part of a community that lifts each other up.

New Website Launch!

I’m happy to share a beautiful new website I designed for Kelley Skillin-Smith, Realtor with Century 21 First Choice Realty in Gorham, Maine.

Kelley works closely with both buyers and sellers, guiding them with knowledge, patience, and genuine care. She’s also deeply involved in supporting local and charitable causes — a true reflection of her character and commitment to the community.

It was a pleasure creating a site that captures her professionalism and warmth.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, Kelley is someone you can trust. 🏡

And if your business is in need of a clean, professional website, feel free to reach out at lakesregionmarketing@gmail.com or learn more at lakesregionmarketing.com.

Before the ice set in. Soon we'll be seeing the ice melting again - and still possibly have a few more snowstorms. Hopefully they won't be plentiful and even if they are - they ususally don't last too long at this time of year. Looking forward to 50s - 60s this coming week! First day of spring is coming!!
