A friend in Boston recommended the Franciscan Guest House to us for a quick getaway in beautiful scenery. The Franciscan Guest House totally lived up to our expectations. The drive from Cambridge to Kennebunk only took us 1 hour 40 minutes; less than we expected. Parking was available very close to the entrance of the building. The check-in process was... More

My experience here was horrible from start to finish. When I arrived, they informed that I was incorrectly booked into a room that was unavailable. They said I'd have to look at some other rooms and decide which one that I wanted. They handed me a bunch of keys and sent me to wander around on my own, trying to... More

I stayed, with a group, for four days here, and found it great. As described in other reviews, the rooms are good sized, and while the furniture was not modern (ie, old style maple dressers and desks), the beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and modern (great showers with spa-style water pressure, very nice!) and the linens etc....

The two positive comments are the location is great, near the beach and town, and our bathroom was updated and appeared to be clean. The overall condition of the room was startlingly old and rundown which made it difficult to determine how clean it was. Surfaces were dust free however. Just before going to bed, my husband discovered bedbug traps... More

We booked in here for one night as we drove through Maine. Sitting on the edge of the monastery, this is a lovely setting. Our room was clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was abundant; my husband who is a celiac paid a small additional amount to have the hot breakfast options which provided him with much more than just... More

My wife and l were skeptical about staying here but, thought we'd try it anyway. Well we were very pleased! The rooms are spartan but, very clean and well maintained. There is even a continental breakfast included in the room charge or you can add hot foods (eggs, etc) for $3 per person. We were there just as autumn began... More

The peace & quiet of this place is astounding. Easy walk into town. Accommodations not fancy, but clean. Very nice people. Breakfast was fabulous! Everything home made including the donut holes, cheese, & at least 20 different breads & pastries. Great coffee.

We rented the second floor 3 bedroom suite (Kretinga) for three nights which comfortably accommodated all seven of us including our five children. We found the space to be clean, quiet and spartan, with a spiritual identity all its own. Authentic home made Lithuanian baked goods and hot breakfast served buffet style were the stellar attraction of every morning, a... More

Just spent my first weekend at the Franciscan Guest House in Kennebunk, Maine. I will definately return, hopefully this year. As with other reviews, the rooms may be dated, but they are clean and very comfortable, with everything you could need. The place is not fancy, but I did not want fancy. I wanted a quiet place to get away... More
