Work and Play on Sebago Lake

Vibe out in the mornings listening to music or your favorite podcast while baking that morning's pastries, desserts for lunch and knocking out production for the day. Or spend your evenings in the exciting hustle and bustle of dinner service, plating desserts and thinking fast on your feet to make a special request for a guest happen.
