We stayed at the Maine Stay Inn last December and had a wonderful time. Judi and Walter were great hosts and the main house is a delight. We had travelled a long way from tropical Queensland (Australia) and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. Our fellow guests were very amiable and interesting - we even learned a little... More

We decided somewhat last minute to go up to Maine and we're happy we did! The Inn is very nice and conveniently located to the main town area of Kennebunkport. The room we stayed in was very nice and spacious with all of the amenities one would expect in a hotel (shampoo, conditioner, TV, AC). The great thing about the... More

We're so glad you enjoyed your first Bed and Breakfast experience! While guests in the main house have 4 options for breakfast, guests choosing to stay in the cottages have as many as 6 options for breakfast times. Sometimes that works better for folks who aren't especially fond of the morning hours. But we do always offer guests the option... More

We stopped off at the Maine Stay on our way through New England. I'd read the reviews on trip advisor and they seemed great. The reviews were spot on. From the moment we arrived, Duke and Walt made us feel at home. The rooms were very comfortable. It was also nice to sleep with the windows open and feel the... More

We LOVE visiting the Maine Stay, just the 3 girls, EVERY winter!! We started the tradition back in 1996, but skipped quite a few years until February 2010, and have been back at the same time each year since. My sister-in-law from RI, a college friend from MA and I (from midcoast Maine) all convene in cottage #6 for one... More

It's always so much fun to have the three of you here, Nancy! Thanks for your kind remarks and all your encouragement for Johanna - she will certainly miss you all next year. Can't wait to help you relax next year! More

We travelled with our baby daughter and stayed in the family cottage. It was perfect for our needs with 2 bedrooms and a fully appointed kitchen with table for eating our meals at, and also a lounge area with telly which was an ideal crawling space for our baby. We experienced both amazing sunshine and freezing rain and the cottage... More

My husband and I stayed at the Maine Stay Inn for a long weekend in February. While the room we stayed in (the Victorian Room) was just okay with an extremely tiny shower, the food was what made this a great place. Each morning the breakfasts were unique and fabulous and in the evenings fresh cookies were available. When deciding... More

Thank you for letting us know that our responses aren't always getting across the way we intended! Unfortunately, a character limit is imposed on our responses, and I think that in the process of editing to make sure we fall within the acceptable limits, we sometimes sound a little more abrupt than intended. We'll try not to do that here!... More

You will NOT be disapointed by a stay with Judy and Walter. From first meeting until check out they are nothing but personable ,entertaining, and well versed in how to run an inn. Breakfasts are sumptuous compared to other places I have stayed. Judy is a terrific morning hostess as breakfast comes to the table. Both of us loved the... More

My DH and I landed here the first weekend in March thanks to a LivingSocial deal. It's been years since we have done a B&B. While the weather was a washout; our experience at the Maine Stay was terrific!! Walter, Judi, their daughter Johanna and the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and at home!...

My Husband and I ended up leaving! We checked in at 3:00PM and left at 2:00AM! The girl at the front desk broke our door knob and locked us out, 1/2 an hour in the cold waiting for the owner to let us in, drilled out our deadbolt. The walls are so thin we couldn't sleep because of the snoring... More

Reviews like this one are extremely disheartening for everyone at the Maine Stay, especially when they don't contain an ounce of truth. Anyone who knows our front desk staff knows that they are as helpful and charming as can be. Victoria, the young woman who checked this couple in, has to be bailed out each time someone takes her up... More
