The Boathouse - A riverside hotel with Maine-made bedding, waterfront dining, and two distinct buildings connected by footbridge

Situated along the Kennebunk River in downtown Kennebunkport, The Boathouse Waterfront Hotel spans two buildings with 25 guest rooms featuring Cuddledown bedding and coastal-inspired decor. The Main House contains 12 rooms with crisp nautical themes, while the Wharf House offers 13 traditional beach cottage-style accommodations. The Boathouse Restaurant serves fresh Maine seafood with Asian influences across two bars and a wraparound outdoor deck.

Guest rooms include custom lobster trap rocking chairs and private balconies overlooking the working harbor.
