Feel Like a Kid Again, but with Cocktails!
When you stay at our romantic Inn, you don’t need to go far to have an evening to remember. Spend some time in our cozy and comfortable parlors enjoying a variety of fun board games and interesting books. Pair that with complimentary candy and self-serve cocktails from our Honor Bar to make it the best play-date ever. We make it easy to keep track of your drinks with our Big Book, so you can easily pay for them when you check out.
Venture Out to Play in the Snow
When you’re in the city the snow is a chore. But when you visit our winter wonderland, you’ll appreciate it as much as you did on those beloved snow days from childhood. You’ll find beautiful trails and opportunities for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing right here in the Kennebunkport area. Just ask us to point you in the right direction! If you want to venture further out, we suggest visiting the breathtaking Wells National Estuarine Research Preserve, which is just 10 minutes away and provides snowshoe rentals for a nominal fee. Or head 20 minutes north to Harris Farm, which rents skis and fat tire bikes for use on their miles and miles of private well-groomed trails.
