Closest grocery store
We recommend that you stop here at the grocery store in China Maine to pick up dinner and supplies before arriving. It is one of the few stores that stays open into the evening and if you are coming from the east, you will pass by it on Route 3 on the way to our house. There are very few restaurants nearby!
