An elegant, circa 1813 Federal mansion, the inn is situated in Kennebunkport's historic district, just five short blocks to Dock Square and its eclectic collection of shops, boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants. Built as a wedding present for James Fairfield and his bride, the mansion continues to kindle romantic flames amidst the seclusion of ancient elms and the resplendent gardens that punctuate the surrounding landscape. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the inn includes among its common areas a Living Room where guests retreat to read a book or play games, a Music Room with a beautiful grand piano, and a Gathering Room that conjures the past with an open-hearth fireplace and nautical memorabilia. All guestrooms are spacious and are beautifully and individually decorated with antique and period furniture. The Library Suite has a romantic double whirlpool tub.
Several bedrooms have fireplaces, and all are air-conditioned.
All rooms enjoy lovely views of gardens and other stately homes in the quiet historic district. Later in the day, after you've returned from shopping, whale watching, or sightseeing, enjoy hot and iced teas, fresh-baked treats, or a glass of Port in the comfort of the gardens or common rooms. Janet and Rick's desire is that your stay with them be a comfortable, happy, and memorable one. Tell your hosts you found them on 1st Traveler's Choice.
