Highly Recommend Lodge on the Cove!
The stay was great! The room was large. The beds were super comfortable and all of the family friendly activities available on the property were really cool. The smores kits every day were a nice touch! We also took advantage of the 15 minute walk to town and 11 minute walk to the beach! Loved our stay!

Staff communicated prior to arrival for special arrangements and stayed late to help me check in on a Sunday evening. The room was neat, clean and perfect for a party of 3. Will be visiting again the next time we are in Kennebunkport!

Great spot for kids & families
We had a lovely stay at Lodge on the Cove with two families including 3 children under 4. Our rooms were walkout near the main reception and simple but comfy beds and clean. We really appreciated how “kid friendly” this property was - the pool was great, towels, toys & bottled water readily available, nice continental breakfast with some items available throughout the day for snacks, candy bar, smore kits etc. these small touches really made it feel welcoming! Will recommend & return. Thank you!

We were in room 31 at the end of the run of rooms which was great. Lovely views of the inlet (when the tide was up) and in a beautiful wooded setting. Staff really helpful and room was clean, comfortable and quite large with a sofa and small dining table with kitchen. Also a bath (lower for ease of access) with shower over. Beautiful area all in the woodland and Kennebunkport was a great little town. Can highly recommend.
