Phenomenal hosts and accommodations!

Rita and her family were incredible hosts, start to finish. No detail was left out, and they went the extra mile to make sure that we were comfortable and happy. We truly enjoyed getting to know them. Their cottage is gorgeous, peaceful, and a true retreat. Not to mention, the location is ideal. We didn't want to leave! We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect Maine escape.

Cute, comfy, & dog friendly

Rita & Jim go above and beyond to make sure your stay is better than you expect. My family of 3 with an 11 year old boy + our yellow lab had enough space. It has everything you need, and owners are super friendly! Good location, short drive to restaurants and all the beaches in the area. Thank you! ~ Carol

All around GREAT!

Rita and Jim have a wonderful place, so welcoming and convenient too. From our welcome notes, to dog treats, offers to drop us at the beach, bubbles abs a sweet note for our daughter, to yummy cheese and snacks, we felt at home immediately! The guesthouse had all that we could need, laundry, and the most comfortable bed ever! We’ll definitely be back whenever in the area! Thank you!!

Awesome! Jim +Rita are The Best -host + hostess. The place we stayed at was A+ clean, cozy, loved the little courtyard! They go above and beyond to make one's visit the best! Supplied needs that we didn't even have to ask for! We were made to feel very welcome and even our exit was nice. Love that they allow dogs.. It's really nice to feel at home. We really hope to go back again someday.

Five Star Stay

My husband, dog, and I stayed in Maine for a week and Rita and Jim were the perfect hosts. The cute little guest house was clean, cozy, and filled with all the essentials we could have needed, AND MORE. The guest house is attached to the main house by a courtyard but allowed for enough privacy for us to come and go as we pleased, or chit chat and ask for recommendations in the area. The beach pass was awesome to have, it made things so easy to drive the few miles to the Kennebunk beaches. And although we brought towels/etc for our dog, they also had those for our use. I can't say enough how pleasant our stay was, thank you so much!!!

Pictures of this little gem don’t do it justice! It’s adorable, comfortable, really beautiful! For me it was peaceful and restorative. The owners have supplied everything (and more) that you could ever need or want! I can’t wait to go back! And Kennebunk is a lovely place to spend some time! I’d give it an A++++!

Excellent Place in the Kennebunks

My wife and I and our dog Nellie thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. This cottage is very clean and has all of the items you need for your holiday. The balcony off the second level bedroom is an ideal place to have a meal or just sit and take in the Kennebunk River and its gorgeous surroundings. The cottage is well located for a quick trip to the beach or the many excellent restaurants in the area. Rita and Jim are excellent hosts. Their hospitality extended on their Fourth of July celebration is truly appreciated. I would highly recommend this cottage for your stay in the Kennebunks. Peter, Ottawa

Well equipped -- had everything to make our stay comfortable. Great hosts and convenient location.

Really enjoyed our 2 weeks in this comfortable cottage. Kennebunk's dog friendly beach was delightful. We never missed a day there. The location is convenient for day tripping to Portland, Portsmouth and Ogunquit. The courtyard and grounds are delightful and the owners were more than willing to see that we enjoyed our stay suggesting places to visit and things to do in the area. Although the cottage is small it's ideal for a couple and their pet. We highly recommend this cozy spot.

About the host

Hosted by Rita Tirrell

Why they chose this property

Maine is just glorious! And Kennebunk has been our summer home for almost 20 years . . . Summer Street is a very special place - with so many beautiful historic homes - and we are in the historic Kennebunk Landing area of Summer Street - where sea-faring boats were built from 1766 to 1867 on the Kennebunk River that runs behind our home.
