Hi ladies,
We are planning a road trip in August along the Maine coast. We have nailed down our locations - 4 nights Bar Harbor, 2 nights Camden and 2 nights Kennebunkport. I was hoping to get hotel recommendations for these areas. It will DH, myself and our 4 year old DS. We'd like family friendly but a little on the upscale side (no motel style). What are your recs for these towns?
Thanks,
Gina
Re: Maine - hotel recs
I am from Kennebunk, Maine. There are a ton of really nice B&Bs but I am assuming you want more of a hotel/resort type place.
Check out the Colony hotel--nice pool and the ocean is across the street. It is a big old grand hotel that has mantained well--I think but I haven't seen the rooms.
The Yachtsman is a great location and very nice.
The Nonantum is another large old hotel --walking distant to town, on the river, with a pool,etc...
There is a new place in Cape Porpoise (about 10 minute drive from Kennebunkport) called Hidden pond--supposed to be rustic luxury. The restaurant called Earth has gooten amazing reviews and there is a tree top spa.
And the Cottages at Cabot cove are spectacular.
Have fun sounds like a perfect trip. Maine is beautiful --and August is the perfect time to go.
