Each room is complete with either a king or queen size bed and private bathrooms. Three of the rooms include whirlpool tubs and all but one room has a working gas fireplace.As a guest at our beautiful home, you can surround yourself with complete privacy, or journey into the quaint historic town of Kennebunkport….the choice is yours.It was built in the late 1800s by local boat builders.

Don’t forget to ask at check in about the phantom candles!The property is half a mile down a quiet gravel lane in Lower Village, Kennebunk., just around the corner from Kennebunkport village. It is located on the tidal Kennebunk River. Five acres of field and woods surround the property and yet the house is only one mile from Kennebunkport center and two miles to the beaches.The view downriver is of the village of Kennebunkport and upriver to the Arundel Golf course.Five bedrooms offer private baths, whirlpool tubs, gas fireplaces, and lots of privacy.There is a large downstairs living room with a wood fireplace, comfy window seats, and views from all the windows of the tidal river.

The kitchen is being fully renovated this winter ( 2021) as it was an inn kitchen for 35 years, and though it functioned well, it needs some updating.

We provide laundry detergent and dryer sheets.Enjoy watching the tide rise and fall from our front porch. We also provide beach passes for the nearby beaches.
