Today marks the official, first day of summer, the longest day of the year, and the quickly emerging peak season of activity at The Kennebunk Inn. This “peak season” really is shaping up as something special for the “keepers” of The Kennebunk Inn.

In the last issue of The Kennebunk Inn Quarterly we reported on The Inn’s internet marketing activities that seemed to be building much broader awareness of our “affordable excellence…culinary passion executed to near perfection” position in the hospitality market place. That reality is now very evident in the room reservations for the summer season. By the end of May most week-ends in July were already almost fully booked and a similar trend for week days both in July and August was developing by mid-June. As we did in the last issue of The Quarterly, we would strongly recommend advance reservations for upcoming visits. You can now email us for room reservations at info@thekennebunkinn.com, and within a few weeks you will be able to book reservations online on the Inn’s website.

Chef~Owners, Brian and Shanna O’Hea, have designed some tantalizing menus items for the summer season. Dining guests in the Tavern or on the patio will notice the availability of all Academe entrees and salads in those more casual settings, Wednesdays through Saturdays.

Not content with a spectator role only for athletic contests, The Kennebunk Inn has recently organized a co-ed softball team. While it is not yet clear that our softball skills match our culinary talents, the early going has produced two losses (including one absolute drubbing), one narrow victory and, most notably, no serious injuries. Sunday bartender, Skip, was the winning pitcher in our lone victory: feel free to ask Skip for details of his masterpiece.
