Sweet escape in Maine

We really enjoyed our stay at this sweet historic home in Kennebunk. It felt cozy & private but was a short walk from restaurants, shopping, etc. & a short drive from beautiful beaches. The hosts were welcoming & responsive. All in all a great place to spend time with family.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024
