Job Description



Overlooking Maine’s largest glacier lake, Blair Hill Inn’s stunning ten-guest room country estate sits commandingly atop a 20′ high, 900′ long field stone wall. Its hillside perch provides one of the most beautiful, expansive lake views in the world. This destination resort sprawls across 79 acres with private hiking trails, scenic overlooks, a trout pond, fields and woodlands. Once a breeding farm built in 1891, it is now a finely restored boutique hotel with exquisite décor and exceptional service.

The renowned, gourmet restaurant serves a tasty farm-to-table menu and the handsome wood-paneled cocktail lounge offers fine wines, libations, and small bites. The warm welcome, individual service, absolute discretion and love of detail are evidenced by being one of only two Relais & Châteaux designated hotels and restaurants in Maine.

We are proud to be one of the 580 members of Relais & Châteaux, an association of worldwide independent hotel and restaurant owners.
