Guest Reviews
We spent 2 nights here, and the room and breakfast were amazing. Very comfortable, felt like we were the only ones staying there. The location was perfect, just outside of town. Close to all the sights and restaurants. When we come back through Maine, we will definitely stay again.

Beautiful rooms that are very comfortable, scrumptious 3-course breakfasts, and a short, easy walk to town with fun shops, wonderful restaurants, and interesting things to do. We enjoyed our first visit to Maine and loved our stay at the 1802 Inn. We look forward to staying there again to see this area in another season.

We booked the whole inn for a 12-person wedding ceremony, and it was exactly what we were looking for. 1802 House is such a lovely space for an intimate gathering with friends and family. Incredible service, delicious breakfast, close to downtown Kennebunkport. Highly recommend. Thank you to Eileen and Carl for making our wedding day and weekend so special.
