We’ve stayed at the schoolhouse several times and it’s always a perfect fit for our family. Located between Goose Rocks Beach and Kennebunkport, it’s a quick drive to both. Wendy is also a wonderful host.

Fantastic Stay

The Schoolhouse property was such a cool and unique place to stay. It feels very country but is close to everything, so the best of both worlds. The house was clean, felt very comfortable, and had all needed amenities. Wendy has put together a special place.

Another Great Stay!

This is our second summer staying at the Schoolhouse. It’s a very comfortable home for our family of three plus our 13 year old Goldendoodle. The house is in a great location and offers a variety of spaces to unwind after a long day at the beach or in town!

The property is centrally located to beaches, Dock Square and all interests around Kennebunkport. The house is totally unique and charming…could not find any other as interesting or cozy. Staying in a 1909 school house is a great experience, especially with photos of prior classes that attended which Wendy has displayed. I have already booked my stay for 2026!

Charming whimsical school house home in a nice neighbor hood and near the town of Kennebunkport. Our family enjoyed our time here and the side porch with swing to gather and keep dry from the rain. My son and his girlfriend used the kayaks provided at the house to the brook and enjoyed their adventure.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautifully converted schoolhouse. The home is large, spacious, and full of character. We especially loved the old photographs displayed throughout the house, which we assumed were class photos from its days as a school. They were a wonderful connection to the history of the property.Another highlight was the owner’s functional and decorative pottery throughout the house. We also had the pleasure of meeting Wendy and really enjoyed talking with her about her pottery and the pieces in the home. It made our stay feel even more personal and special.The kitchen was exceptionally well appointed. We cooked several dinners during our stay, and I even had everything I needed to make a blueberry cake! The property and surrounding area were also great for walking with our small dog.The location couldn’t have been better. Cape Porpoise, Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunk, Wells, and Ogunquit were all within easy reach, while the house still felt peaceful and tucked away in the Maine countryside.We had a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to coming back!

Perfect vacation

Very charming home. Lots of room. We loved the swing on the back porch. Great location not far from town or Goose Rock beach. Wendy is a great host. Bring bug spray as there are lots of mosquitoes.

Charming home between the beach and town

Wendy was a great host and her property is truly special. It's perfectly located between the town of Kennebunkport and Goose Rocks beach. The schoolhouse is very unique with charming details throughout. My daughter loved visiting Wendy in her studio and getting her hands dirty. We hope to be back!

Perfect vacation. This little house is just big enough for the three of us and the dog although you could easily fit another couple of people. Easy access to the beach - we went every day of our stay. House is well appointed with good Wi-Fi and a full kitchen. The host is a potter and some of her pieces are in the house - so lovely! There’s a porch swing for reading or mediating or just looking at the beautiful garden. The vibes at this place are immaculate.

Delightful stay

My wife, 19 year old daughter, mother in law, and our dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quaint and unique property. Private location, birds and dragonflies a plenty. Wendy is a truly gracious and attentive host. Her pottery making lesson was a highlight— something we will never forget. Highly recommended!

Another great stay!

This is our third summer staying at the schoolhouse and there’s a reason we keep coming back! The space is everything we could need or want for our family of three, and while we did not have our pup with us this time, it always worked out well when we did! The house is perfectly located to all of the spots we like to visit: Goose Rocks Beach, Dock Square, and Cape Porpoise. The schoolhouse has high ceilings, so it feels spacious yet cozy. The air conditioning works well when needed/wanted. Overall, another great stay in the books!

Charming and cozy!

Came here for a girls' trip and stayed a week in this lovely property. It was utterly charming, comfortable and convenient to Kennebunkport and Cape Porpoise. Wendy is wonderful - we had a homemade blueberry pie awaiting us when we arrived and were also able to meet her and take a tour of her pottery studio. This is by far one of the nicest and most unique properties we have ever stayed in and would definitely return if we were back in the area. Highly recommend!

Quaint Schoolhouse Stay

The Schoolhouse was a great find for our family, given we didn’t need beach access for the week. Wendy was kind and very helpful with the check-in process. The Schoolhouse is quaint and has all the charm. That to be said, I wish it was slightly cleaner upon arrival and did get several ant traps for carpenter ants throughout the house. A quick run of the vacuum and ant traps seemed to take care of the problem. Would rent here again.

The way life should be!

Wonderful location in a very unique cottage. The site is centrally located to all interesting activities but still secluded in a country setting. The cottage has all the charm of its actual beginnings…a 1909 schoolhouse. The owner even has on display pictures of school classes on the front steps! All modern facilities are provided. I have already booked next year.

Maine…the way life should be!

The Schoolhouse has so much charm…it is difficult to take everything in. The location is ideal between Goose Rocks and Cape Porpoise…central to everything but secluded as well. Wendy and Bruce were friendly and very helpful…made me feel right at home. So much so, I have rented the Schoolhouse for three weeks next September. Wonderful spot and terrific hosts. Thank you so much!

Peaceful Kennebunkport Vacation

This is our third stay at the historic schoolhouse. The house, which is equipped with everything needed for a vacation, is clean, light, and filled with antiques, pottery, and whimsical decorations. The porches provide views of the flowers, birds, and fireflies at dusk. The location is a short drive to Goose Rocks Beach and the restaurants and shops in Dock Square. The owner, Wendy, is very warm and accommodating. I highly recommend staying at this historic schoolhouse in a very special part of Maine. We feel very fortunate to have been able to experience the charm and history of the home and look forward to future stays.

Absolutely Wonderful Stay

Wendy, the owner is a pleasure to know, and goes out of her way to make your stay enjoyable. I am glad she is now a part of my life. And her place is just as much a jem as she is. The house is so well decorated it's difficult to describe. It was built in the 20's as a 2-room schoolhouse. The remodeling has been so artfully done that it's like stepping back in time, while still having the modern day amenities we've all become accustomed to. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Magical Cottage by the Creek

This home is a gem in the middle of Kennebunkport. At the little school house, you are treated to a carefully-curated collection of art in this lovingly-appointed home. Our dog has to come with us on vacation because we are a family package, and this little spot of loveliness was a welcoming home away from home. Very positive vibes. The School House is a quintessential Maine experience. Wendy is an attentive and gracious host. Her gorgeous work is displayed throughout the house…but wait until you see her pottery studio! It’s as charming as the home and just as inviting. We couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Thank you, Wendy!
