‘The Rooms’ Owners Open The Mayville Union House in Bethel, Maine

Are you ready to move from a room to a house?

For nearly two decades, chef Harding Lee Smith has operated three of the best known restaurants in Portland, Maine.

His initial restaurant, The Front Room, opened in December of 2005. It was followed by The Grill Room in 2008 and then The Corner Room in 2009. All three restaurants continue to be destinations in the city.

While 'The Rooms' have made their mark in Portland, Harding Lee Smith and Sarah Smith were thinking bigger with their next venture. It's not just a room but an entire a house and you can do more than just eat.
