The Top 2 Hotels in Kennebunk
-
A rustic waterfront inn where New England privilege settles into creaking floorboards and salt air, White Barn has long sheltered the northeastern gentry in understated comfort. The cottage compound feels less like a resort than a family compound where you happen to be an invited guest.
-
A six-room bed-and-breakfast in a 1753 Colonial house where Ralph Emerson summered, now outfitted with luxe linens and modern plumbing while preserving original pine floors and period details. The place trades exclusivity for genuine hospitality: coffee always brews, the honor bar never closes, and breakfast arrives without fanfare or pretense.
