  • Surrounded by beauty – Enjoy waterfront walking paths on the surrounding estate and St. Anthony's 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 – Comfortable and neat accommodations without a lot of hustle and bustle, and as relaxing as a bed and breakfast.

Take your vacation with us during one of our famous South Coast Maine seasons...

  • Long Awaited Spring – Flowers, bees, & soft breezes welcome visitors to walk on rejuvenated Kennebunk beach and riverside paths, and to enjoy the beauty of Kennebunkport.
  • Summer! – Picnic on the beach, relax by the pool, shop until you drop, dine on lobster, take a cruise on the ocean...the choices seem endless when you visit the Kennebunks.
  • Maine Fall Foliage – Glorious and dazzling colors everywhere you look. Leaf peepers take note of peak foliage on the South Coast.
