We did not know that the Inn had changed hands since we stayed there two years ago. The difference was evident as we walked in the front door--and for the better. The setting is lovely, the accommodations superb, and the staff superior. My wife and I both recommend the Inn without any reservation(except the one needed to book a room).

We stayed at the Old Fort Inn over Memorial Day weekend.It is located in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance to the ocean. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and felt very welcomed by the front desk woman. Our room was in the carriage house in the back of the main building. A very beautiful building. It was very comfortable and the air conditioning had been turned on when we arrived. We appreciated that.... More

We just spent the most magical weekend at the Old Fort Inn. My husband took me here for a romantic weekend getaway in celebration of my 30th birthday. From the moment we pulled in to the beautifully landscaped grounds we knew this was going to be a special place. We were greeted by Sue one of the friendly inn staff members who took the time to welcome us, go over the local map with us... More

Dear SunShynMA, We are so thrilled that you enjoyed your special birthday weekend while staying with us. We take pride in being able to provide the special touches that every guest deserves, and not just on their birthday. Sue and I enjoyed the time that we spent chatting on the couches during our Spring cocktail party. I hope that next time you are thinking about returning to the Kennebunkport area that you will think of... More

The location of this property is just outstanding. Beautiful neigherbood, just a short walk to the ocean. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean. The temperature was just right in the room and the suite we stayed in had a heated floor in the bathroom which was a little luxury we enjoyed. The staff was very helpful and gave great dinner recommendations. There is no fitness center and no... More

We were looking for a one night getaway from a house full of kids and I found the OFI. When I called to book the room, the receptionist was very helpful and accommodating and even though we were not traveling from afar, she was just as concerned about our stay, our dinner plans and activities. The check in process was so warm. 2 glasses of wine was a nice touch. Our room was upgraded (without... More

We LOVED the inn, the staff was very friendly and helpful! The pool divine! The room was perfect for us and our 8month old. It had a little kitchette, that was invaluable to us, and the size of the room was perfect for our pack & play. The location was not at all an issue for us, in fact, great spot to go for walks! and away from the tourism. But not tooo far from... More

This inn changed hands a couple of years ago but the new owners have maintained the high standards of the previous owners. Kennebunkport in the summer can be a madhouse, especially downtown around Dock Square or near Walker Point (the Bush family compound). The Old Fort Inn is just one street away from the ocean near Walker Point and hard to find but therefore a lovely refuge. Not large but very comfortable bedrooms and baths.... More

My wife and I had never been to the northeast and just started picking places at random, based on location. The Old Fort Inn was our first place after we landed and it was perfect. The rooms were gorgeous and decorated in soft tones to help you relax. The reading area was perfect with an oversized couch to sit on, a warm fire, and plenty to read. There was a small bar for that after... More

We took a last-minute weekend getaway in November to Kennebunkport, ME, and it couldn't have been better if we planned it for weeks. We traveled with another couple, and we all had a wonderful stay at the Old Fort Inn. The inn was a delight, and it set the stage for a most pleasant trip. The reception and public areas of the inn are beautiful, stylish, and very welcoming. Sitting by the fireplace was cozy.... More

We stayed 2 nights at this inn in the fall of 2011 and had a wonderful experience. The main living room is furnished very tastefully, with dozens of top-notch art books from Taschen (the top art publisher in the world). That would be a minor detail except that it shows very good taste. It's hard to find fault with anything in that room, from comfortable sofas, fireplace, restored wood paneling. There's a small bar where... More
