Spend the day in any of the above activities then come back to our clean, serene cottage to rest up for your next adventure. Enjoy nature watching or read a good book from the lawn chairs.

Polly’s Place is one of 2 houses that share a 5 acre private property located back off the road with a mixture of trees and lawn. This cottage was built by our Aunt Polly and Uncle Hans. We lived in it for years while building our forever home in the back of the property. It’s quiet here with a peacefulness you feel being close to nature.
Polly’s Place features a full size kitchen and dining room, a large comfortable living room, two bedrooms, a large bathroom, office area, and laundry area. All bedrooms have blackout shades. The night sky is pitch black perfect for stargazing. Enjoy the large yard area and gas grill. There’s no need to pack sheets and towels since all linens are provided.
Locally owned meat market, seafood stores and farm stands are conveniently located nearby.

We had a great stay at Polly's Place. The quiet setting was beautiful. The place was very roomy. The bedrooms, including the beds were great. The hosts have gone to great lengths to get all the details right including the place being super clean, plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, tons of dishes, glasses, mugs. The kitchen has all of the basics covered including utensils, spices, condiments and even coffee & tea. There is a book full of details about the area and restaurant recommendations. The Hosts have thought of everything! Its the perfect place to stay in the Kennebunkport area.

Very clean and comfortable

Exceptionally clean, and a very cute place. It is an “older” home but very well maintained. Had any kitchen item, utensil, tool you could hope for. Comfy sheets and linens, plenty of towels. We enjoyed all the extra details and amenities. Great location close to Kennebunkport as well as major highways 95 and 1. The hosts greeted us and were very nice and accommodating. We hope to return if we are ever in the area again!

Excellent central location

This location was perfect for a first time visitor to Maine. We spent most of our time out of the house but it was centrally located to so many wonderful locations. The check in process was seamless. Excellent communication from the hosts and we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a Maine trip that’s close to beaches/activities, but much more private.

We spent the weekend at Polly’s Cottage while attending family weekend at University of New England. Polly’s Cottage was perfect! Patty & Eric have thought of everything to make your stay so comfortable. And the location was great! Close to everything but it feels like you’re in the countryside. We will absolutely stay again.
