Guests return to The Franciscan Guest House year after year because we’re…

• Affordable - As a nonprofit hotel, we offer affordable rates for budget minded travelers, families, couples, seniors, and groups looking for inexpensive lodgings.
• Fantastically located – It's a short stroll to Kennebunkport’s waterfront village, lovely shops, fine dining or casual restaurants, and to the sandy Kennebunk beaches.
• Surrounded by beauty – Enjoy waterfront walking paths on the surrounding estate and Franciscan Monastery and Retreat Center with landscaping designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Bros of New York's Central Park fame.
• Only a 90-minute drive by car from Boston! – And only 40 minutes from the Portland Jetport (directions.)
• A good place to relax – clean and neat accommodations without a lot of hustle and bustle, and as relaxing as a bed & breakfast.
