We had such a great weekend at Mabel’s! The staff was so friendly and accommodating and everything was so clean. We went out of season so the pantry inside was closed but we know we would’ve enjoyed it! We liked that Mabel’s wasn’t right in the bustle of Dock Square but close enough for a short drive over for shops, activities, and food. There’s also a small beach was just a 5 minute walk away from Mabel’s, which we loved! Can’t forget Coveside market just next to Mabel’s - perfect for a snack, morning coffee, or bottle of wine for a night in.

Very clean, easy check-in process and parking, over-delivered for the cost, cozy and tucked away location, and the innkeeper Rhonda is a doll and was incredibly accommodating. Several attractions nearby, town is a quick mile jaunt away with well-maintained sidewalks to and from. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
The parking was tight and I have no idea how they could monitor who had a parking pass
It would have been nice to have the sheets "refreshed".
I will give credit on having a beautiful view
Quaint, quiet place in a great location. Can walk one way to get to town and the opposite for spectacular views of the ocean and amazing private residences. Enjoyed our stay very much and our dinner at the restaurant next door.
I loved my stay here! Booked last minute for Memorial Day weekend with a friend and was in a beautiful location just a short bike ride or drive from downtown Kennebunkport. Our room was beautiful looking over water and was very clean upon arrival. Staff was very friendly! The only negatives I experienced were that there was minimal staff attendance in the building. There was never anyone at the front desk, you had to go across the street if you needed anything to the other hotel they own. This definitely was concerning in terms of safety — the front door to the place was always unlocked & no staff there for the majority of the day. Also, I attempted calling multiple times and the phone just kept ringing with no voicemail or way to leave a message, and no one calling me back. The kayaks and bikes available were completely unattended, with no one helping with the process. One day nearly all the bikes were gone with no way of knowing when the other guests would bring them back. Also, many of the bikes were rusty, old and broken. We were told there was a sign out sheet at the front desk, but there was no one attending the front desk and no way to find it. We also asked about the kayaks, but we were told the only way to use them is if we carried them across the street. They were extremely heavy and this wasn’t possible for us, so we didn’t get to use them. The bikes and kayaks were both great ideas, but I just think there needs to be more staff to help out! Overall, it was great!
This is a very charming property near the Kennebunk River. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Bicycles and kayaks available on site. Restaurant on site. Nearby the quaint downtown shopping area. We had an amazing stay!
Mables is absolutely a great place to stay!!! The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Mables restaurant such a convenient spot and wonderful food.
We look forward to seeing them next year.
Breakfast suggestion……sleeves for hot coffee/hot water otherwise continental breakfast was perfect
and delish.
Had a fabulous stay at Mabel’s Place, comfortable, accommodating, clean. Great location, walking distance from the square and harbor, next door to their incredible restaurant. Enjoyed use of the bikes or just sitting on the back facing the river. Above all, the staff was outstanding and provided all the info on the area. We’ll be back.
Entry to front door and room was key less which was nice. Room was nice and very clean. Communication with host was rapid and pleasant. Only wish was that there be a coffee machine in the common area. Would recommend to others
Clean place. Friendly staff. I wasn’t a fan of the flavored coffee in the morning. Would be better to have regular coffee and flavored creamers as an option for those who want flavored coffee
We stayed at Mabel's House for 2 nights. It was a perfect quaint inn. Very well maintained and clean. The staff was very friendly. We ate at Mabel's Lobster Claw and at Ocean for dinner. Both were delicious. We kayaked the River and stopped at Federal Jacks brewpub for lunch. The lobster bisque was amazing. Kennenbunkport is a delightful town.

Very quaint! Used the bikes but tires needed air and my husbands bike chain kept falling off. A bagged breakfast was different but still enjoyed it. Would recommend.
