Cozy Winter Getaway
Pros:

My stay at the White Barn Inn in Kennebunk was exceptional from start to finish. The visit began on a high note thanks to the warm, friendly welcome from the front desk team and valet—each interaction felt genuinely professional and personal.

One of the highlights of my stay was the relaxing massage I enjoyed at the inn’s lovely spa. The atmosphere was calming, and the therapists made sure every detail contributed to a peaceful experience.

Each morning, I looked forward to the thoughtful coffee delivery right to my cottage by the river. It was such a simple gesture, yet it made my mornings feel incredibly cozy and unhurried.

The location of the inn—and especially the cottages—is truly ideal. Whether I wanted to stroll into town to explore the charming shops and cafés or wander down to the beach for some quiet time by the water, everything was just a pleasant walk away.

Altogether, it was the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and New England charm. I couldn’t have asked for a more delightful stay.

Winter Getaway
Pros:

My wife and I stayed at the Inn for a two-night winter getaway. We had a wonderful visit overall, and we can’t say enough good things about our stay.

We stayed in the Mays Poolside Cottage, which was beautiful and updated. With the pool closed, the cottage was private and cozy.

We did dog sled adventure, and I would recommend that to anyone. It was very cool, and the family who owns it does a great job.

Dining on property and at local restaurants was excellent. Ask to use the G Wagon for a drive to antique shops or lunch - it was a very nice touch.

We have done other high-end stays where you leave feeling like staff didn’t meet expectations for what you were paying for. Our experience here was different - the staff was kind, knew your name, responded to text message requests, and tried hard to make our trip special.

We look forward to coming back again, and hopefully bringing our kids too!

Nice stay, although expensive for what you get.
Pros:

Inn was cute, although not as luxurious as you’d expect for the price point. It is significantly more expensive than comparable properties, without that step up in facilities / finish.

Inn was not at all busy, yet incredibly noisy. You can hear everything - people moving around upstairs, any conversations in the hall, housekeeping etc. appreciate that it is a historic property, but would expect sound insulation to be better.

Resort fee expensive, when you don’t really get anything for it in winter. However, the complimentary Mercedes G-Wagon pick up/drop off within 2 miles is a nice touch.

Location means it is a walk to both dock square/town centre area and the beach.

Food was good, although it was only the room service menu that was being served.

A romantic, snowy, wonderful weekend
Pros:

Despite visiting off-season, my husband and I can't sing White Barn's praises loudly enough. Truly, this experience was quaint, picturesque, culinarily interesting, and memorable. The hotel facilities are so beautiful and clean. The atmosphere is idyllic and cozy. But truly, it is the service team that goes above and beyond that cements this stay as truly remarkable and worthwhile.

White Barn Inn weekend
Pros:

Spent a weekend at the White Barn Inn for my wife’s birthday. This is a very nice property and the service was amazing. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, fireplace and large bathroom that included a soaking tub. We dined at both restaurants and had a spa treatment. The food and service were excellent. Definitely a splurge as prices are high but we really enjoyed the weekend.

Exceptional Service!
Pros:

The staff at The White Barn Inn are in a league of their own. From the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive turndown service each evening, every team member went above and beyond to make us feel pampered. Special thanks to the concierge, who not only remembered our names but also surprised us with a personalized itinerary based on our interests. Every request was met with a genuine smile and a can-do attitude, making us feel like honored guests.

10 year Anniversary Perfection!
Pros:

Celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary at the White Barn Inn was nothing short of idyllic. From the staff, the room, the meals and the amenities were top line luxury. We felt very cared for by the staff especially Matthew and Caleb at the front desk to make sure all of our needs and wishes were met. Highly, highly recommend!

Quiet luxury
Pros:

There is something very special about this Auberge. A small historic building with new accommodations on site . We stumbled across it during a very scary winter blizzard and found a haven.. we have since been back every season, even though winter is still our favourite. Rooms have the lovely addition of fireplaces . Coffee and pastries arrive in a quaint little hamper each morning pre breakfast which is a lovely touch.. snacks and coffee etc available at the pantry to enjoy throughout the day too.

It’s a little quirky and not luxurious in the normal way but has a little bit of class.. quiet and not shouty.. lovely young attentive staff and food that is really up there .. President Bush and wife are regular visitors to the restaurant and had a rather weird experience of their entourage on one visit..

Kennibunk port lovely and this part of Maine well worth a visit ..

A great romantic getaway!
Pros:

We spent two nights at the White Barn Inn right after New Year's Eve. It was a great way to start the year! The accommodations were comfortable and relaxing, the staff members were consistently helpful (they even went out to get us a copy of the Sunday New York Times!), it was great to ride around in one of the Mercedes they have available for guests, the spa treatments were fantastic and the food was some of the best we've had in Maine. We'll be back when we need another romantic getaway!

Terrible experience
Pros:

This property advertises itself as pet friendly but when I showed up with my dog, a french bulldog, I was told only certain accommodations (surprise, the most expensive ones) are pet friendly. So I had to pay $300 extra per night (on top of the $175 pet fee) to stay in a room that was not walking distance from the main building of the hotel (had to drive for breakfast, spa, dinner). I was also told to wait outside in 20 degree weather with my pregnant wife and dog while they had the other room ready.

Perfect New England getaway
Pros:

If you want a classic New England experience, stay here. The rooms are fabulous (ask for Room 8, it has a fireplace and a huge bathroom) the staff just delightful. We spent a ton of time in the "Living Room" by the fire playing scrabble. The Christmas decor was classy. The food was great.

Great stay at White Barn Inn in Kennebunkport
Pros:

We just got back from a wonderful weekend at the White Barn Inn and I have to say, everything about it was fantastic.

The location in Kennebunkport is perfect - you're right in the middle of everything but it still feels peaceful and quiet. Super convenient for exploring the area.

The valet service was great - they took our car right away and it was waiting for us whenever we needed it. No hassle at all.

We got upgraded to the Garden Suite and it was amazing. The room was really spacious and had beautiful garden views. But the best parts were the window wall looking out onto our own personal christmas tree and the spacious and beautiful bathtub.

We had a spa treatment during our stay and it was incredible. The Masseuse really knew what she was doing and we left feeling completely relaxed.

The staff was fantastic. Everyone from the front desk to housekeeping to the servers in the Little Barn restaurant was friendly and helpful. They really made us feel taken care of. Dinner and breakfast were both really good too.

Overall, it was an excellent stay. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice getaway in Kennebunkport. We'd definitely come back.

White Barn Inn deserves to be a tradition
Pros:

White Barn Inn is one of the properties that you always remember. While the facility and meals are exceptional it is really the service that sets it apart. We have been to the property in both winter and summer and can't decide which we like better. I guess we will have to try both again.
