Join us for Afternoon Teatime on the sunny porch or around a cozy fire on cooler days. After a day out and about, this is a fun way to chat with other guests or plan your evening while enjoying a hot cup of tea, freshly baked desserts, or a cooling drink in warmer weather.

Perfectly located, it's a short stroll along tree-lined streets to the shops, restaurants and galleries of Dock Square, Kennebunkport's scenic harbor and the rocky coastline of Ocean Avenue. Sandy beaches and quiet coves are nearby.
