The young sailor spent his long, lonely nights at sea carving all the beautiful woodwork and brought it back home and presented his bride with “icing for her cake”. It got its name from a local businessman perpetuating the romance of the Kennebunk area and labeled it “The Wedding Cake House” for a postcard collection of beautiful homes along Summer Street.We hope to host you for a very special vacation rental!Exterior camera located on back deck and front of barn.Exterior doorbell cameras on front and side door.Interior Camera in the barn and Carriage house ballroom.Interior camera in basement (no access for renters).
