About the host

Hosted by Pete Wahtera

Host profile image
We lived in Kennebunk years ago before getting recruited to a job in Mn. I promised my wife that we would get back here some day. And we did. (Part Time ) We had a condo first for a few years and when saw this 1797 house for sale we jumped at it. It has been a lot of work but we love it. We rented to the Secret Service( BUSH) for years in the summer - 14 years. We made the change to VRBO a few years ago.

Why they chose this property

It is in the Port. It has great History and is very warm and comfortable.

What makes this property unique

We have tried to keep the house as close to the late 1700 as we could. It is in the historic district of Kennebunkport and within walking distanced to most everything.
