The summer season of 2007 is rapidly approaching, and we look forward to this busy time of the year. Early reservations are recommended for July and August as well as week-ends in September.

With the clock ticking down to July 1, renovation activities were cranking to bring The Inn's two newest Family Suites on-line for the summer. With some week-ends already approaching sold-out status, the pressure was on! In the end and working long days and nights, the construction, painting and cleaning crew made the deadline with only hours to spare. These two new accommodations, both of which overlook The Inn's brick patio, are certain to become guest favorites. One features two bedrooms (queen bed in one and twins in the other) as well as a trundle bed in a large sitting room, two TVs, a bath with a claw foot tub and shower, and a kitchen. The second, smaller Suite offers a queen size bed in one bedroom (with a paneled, cathedral-style ceiling) and two twin beds in the other, two TVs, and bath with claw foot tub and shower.

The Kennebunk Inn is pleased to contribute to the 10th Edition Library Race on Friday, July 13, 2007. A raffle will raise needed funds for the Library. Come and buy your chance for a two night stay at The Inn and dinner for two in Academe.
