White Barn Inn, Auberge Resorts Collection

There is something very special about this Auberge. A small historic building with new accommodations on site . We stumbled across it during a very scary winter blizzard and found a haven.. we have since been back every season, even though winter is still our favourite. Rooms have the lovely addition of fireplaces . Coffee and pastries arrive in a quaint little hamper each morning pre breakfast which is a lovely touch.. snacks and coffee etc available at the pantry to enjoy throughout the day too. It’s a little quirky and not luxurious in the normal way but has a little bit of class.. quiet and not shouty.. lovely young attentive staff and food that is really up there .. President Bush and wife are regular visitors to the restaurant and had a rather weird experience of their entourage on one visit.. Kennibunk port lovely and this part of Maine well worth a visit ..

Amazing winter getaway location! The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, cozy, and came with great amenities, and the spa was excellent.

We spent two nights at the White Barn Inn right after New Year's Eve. It was a great way to start the year! The accommodations were comfortable and relaxing, the staff members were consistently helpful (they even went out to get us a copy of the Sunday New York Times!), it was great to ride around in one of the Mercedes they have available for guests, the spa treatments were fantastic and the food was some of the best we've had in Maine. We'll be back when we need another romantic getaway!

This property advertises itself as pet friendly but when I showed up with my dog, a french bulldog, I was told only certain accommodations (surprise, the most expensive ones) are pet friendly. So I had to pay $300 extra per night (on top of the $175 pet fee) to stay in a room that was not walking distance from the main building of the hotel (had to drive for breakfast, spa, dinner). I was also told to wait outside in 20 degree weather with my pregnant wife and dog while they had the other room ready.

If you want a classic New England experience, stay here. The rooms are fabulous (ask for Room 8, it has a fireplace and a huge bathroom) the staff just delightful. We spent a ton of time in the "Living Room" by the fire playing scrabble. The Christmas decor was classy. The food was great.
