White Barn Inn, Auberge Resorts Collection

One of the loveliest places to stay in all the land. Great service, wonderful rooms, attentive staff. They exceeded our every want.

My stay at the White Barn Inn in Kennebunk was exceptional from start to finish. The visit began on a high note thanks to the warm, friendly welcome from the front desk team and valet—each interaction felt genuinely professional and personal. One of the highlights of my stay was the relaxing massage I enjoyed at the inn’s lovely spa. The atmosphere was calming, and the therapists made sure every detail contributed to a peaceful experience. Each morning, I looked forward to the thoughtful coffee delivery right to my cottage by the river. It was such a simple gesture, yet it made my mornings feel incredibly cozy and unhurried. The location of the inn—and especially the cottages—is truly ideal. Whether I wanted to stroll into town to explore the charming shops and cafés or wander down to the beach for some quiet time by the water, everything was just a pleasant walk away. Altogether, it was the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and New England charm. I couldn’t have asked for a more delightful stay.

My wife and I stayed at the Inn for a two-night winter getaway. We had a wonderful visit overall, and we can’t say enough good things about our stay. We stayed in the Mays Poolside Cottage, which was beautiful and updated. With the pool closed, the cottage was private and cozy. We did dog sled adventure, and I would recommend that to anyone. It was very cool, and the family who owns it does a great job. Dining on property and at local restaurants was excellent. Ask to use the G Wagon for a drive to antique shops or lunch - it was a very nice touch. We have done other high-end stays where you leave feeling like staff didn’t meet expectations for what you were paying for. Our experience here was different - the staff was kind, knew your name, responded to text message requests, and tried hard to make our trip special. We look forward to coming back again, and hopefully bringing our kids too!

Amazing weekend..high level of service from arrival to departure...luxurious accommodation and gourmet dining experience.

Inn was cute, although not as luxurious as you’d expect for the price point. It is significantly more expensive than comparable properties, without that step up in facilities / finish. Inn was not at all busy, yet incredibly noisy. You can hear everything - people moving around upstairs, any conversations in the hall, housekeeping etc. appreciate that it is a historic property, but would expect sound insulation to be better. Resort fee expensive, when you don’t really get anything for it in winter. However, the complimentary Mercedes G-Wagon pick up/drop off within 2 miles is a nice touch. Location means it is a walk to both dock square/town centre area and the beach. Food was good, although it was only the room service menu that was being served.
