Lovely Curated Stay in Kennebunk

The stay at the cottage was six star - not only were the fittings and design immaculate and tasteful, but the extra thought and impeccable hosting makes the cottage truly exceptional. From the handwritten note to the music playing on arrival and fireplace to set the tone for the stay, I wouldn’t change a thing. Even the wine chilling in the fridge was “Perfect Stranger” (clever and a nice touch that I appreciate as a fellow hostess with the most-est). The hosts are true hosts - checking in and always quick to respond. Though a smaller space, you have an everything needed to make your stay an unforgettable one - and each piece is painstakingly curated to enhance it. The unexpected bonus is the beautiful lawn stretching back to the gas fire pit and riverside patio area. The neighborhood is residential and the home is closer to the street, so the only slight drawback was some usual traffic noise in the morning, but more than made up for by the cottage itself. Overall, the location is great, a short drive to Kennebunk downtown. I’m looking forward to my next stay (and didn’t want to leave)!

Perfect cozy cabin in Kennebunk!

We travel and stay in rentals a lot, and this was easily one of the most well thought out and beautifully appointed places we've ever stayed. All in a tiny house! The mood was warm and cozy from the minute we stepped in the door, with some great jazz playing and the faux fireplace on for ambience. Jen really knows how to set the stage! The river on the property is stunning. One of our only regrets is not leaving time enough in our schedule to sit beside it and really enjoy the views. The bed was cozy, kitchen worked really well, the bathroom was great. Jen greeted us with some lovely welcome gifts including homemade chocolate chip cookies and a hand-written note, and communicated really well with us. I just can't recommend this place highly enough, whether you're looking for a getaway or a jumping-off point for exploring the Kennebunkport area. The River Rose Cottage easily earns a 5-star review.

Beautifully perfect cottage

The cottage was beyond expectations! It was perfect in every way. Jen and Bill have created a perfect getaway for any occasion. We were there to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary and they made it memorable. The atmosphere was perfect from the moment we walked in from Frank Sinatra playing in the background, fresh baked cookies, wine in the fridge and a bathrobe and slippers for us to enjoy! They had every detail covered! We would highly recommend staying at the River Rose Cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Jen Adams

We are a happy family of three living in an old, renovated farmhouse in Kennebunkport, Maine - two professionals and our adult son! We love spending time with family, movies, cooking and traveling. Our favorite place to visit is Paris, France to enjoy the food, art, culture, and architecture.

Why they chose this property

There's so much to do in the Kennebunks! Take a sunset cruise, a whale watch or a lobster boat tour, visit the Seashore Trolley Museum, eat a lobster roll (or two), see a show at Vinegar Hill Music Theatre, shop in Dock Square, take a drive down Ocean Avenue for sweeping ocean views and a peek at Walker's Point, relax on Mother's Beach, or dine al fresco. The list goes on! River Rose Cottage is a short walk to downtown Kennebunk where you'll find a bakery, restaurants, coffee shop, wine shop, and more! Drive about 40 minutes north and enjoy all of what Portland offers! Portland Head Light, top rated restaurants, craft breweries, museums, and concerts await. Ask us about things to do in Portland, Portsmouth or other areas outside of the Kennebunks!
