We really enjoyed our 2 days, the room was lovely, spacious and we had a great view. Our host made our stay even better by providing us with information on things to do and see on the coast. She even went out of her way to provide a dairy free breakfast for my wife. We definitely would return to this hotel!

Clean and cozy!

Clean and cozy! The bed is very comfortable (more of a full than a queen) and the ladies of Mabel’s House that were in charge were excellent! Side note, the bathroom is small but you can get creative with where you put the toiletries. They provide robes and 2 beach towels.

Had a wonderful stay at Mabel's House. Contactless check-in was very easy, room was very adequate, staff was very pleasant, and it was in a great location (close to the beach, shopping, including a convenience store next door, and dining). Would certainly come back! Note that it is located about 3/4 mile from the Kennebunkport town center, which is walkable, but we tended to drive and park in the main parking lot in town to have additional shopping and dining options. I saw shuttles running, and believe bicycles are available from the hotel as transit options into town, but we never used them.

I remembered this property when it was the Green Heron years ago. Famous for its breakfast. It is now a delightful, clean and quiet BB/small hotel. The room was perfect and had the most comfortable bed with lovely linens, bathroom had great walk in shower. The continental simple breakfast was perfect - yogurts, juice, coffee and yummy muffin. Only suggestion - change the old dining gallery to a living room for guests to relax in, read a book, chat etc. Please do not ruin the ambiance of such a sweet stay by putting in a restaurant into that space. Presently it is a hidden gem where I had a lovely night’s sleep.

The contactless choices, such as no staff assistance, using codes to access the doors, grabbing a small breakfast bag to go, and opting out of room service unless necessary, offered convenience but slightly diminished the personal touch and seemed a bit expensive for the services offered.

When we got in the room, the TV didn’t work. Upon checking, I found the TV and cable box were both in plugged? Additionally, the HDMI cable wasn’t connected to the cable box! Called for maintenance and 45 minutes later he came to check everything. Finally after numerous attempts he was able to get the tv to work. Very disappointed!

Pros: easy walk to the beach, dining options around the area, walkable to town for some which we liked. Safe area. Good sized room. Cons: nonexistent staff, no welcome, nothing they are all across the street at the breakwater. Room 42 is extremely noisy. Ice machine that the kitchen staff use for breakfast begins at 6:45 am. Doors slamming, ice being filled and broken every 5 mins. So if you don’t need to sleep past 6:45am… by all means. Not sure about other rooms. But that was not ok. Exterior of property, great porch and chairs to relax in until dusk when Mosquitos hit. But that’s nature but nothing to stop the bugs. King size bed was not comfortable. If you are over 30, bring Advil for your back. Wouldn’t stay there again but would stay near there.
