About This Property

Built in 1860 on property given to him by his father, Captain Melville Walker made this beautiful home his personal family residence. The grandson of one of the earliest Kennebunkport families, Captain Walker was a merchant sea captain who sailed around the world, often bringing his wife, Abbie, and children with him on his journeys. Highly respected, Captain Walker was known as a fastidious navigator and saavy merchant. His grand home and its spacious landscaped lawns now welcome guests from around the globe.

The Maine Stay Inn & Cottages at the Melville Walker House offers a rich variety of accommodations. Guest rooms and suites in the historic main house evoke a character and allure of a bygone era. The charming English cottages surround the property and offer a privacy and tranquility , each uniquely and exquisitely decorated.

The comforts of modern life are tastefully present in each of our guest quarters. Each room or suite offers firm beds, private baths, fluffy towels, specialty soaps and amenities, TV/VCR, hair dryers, wine openers, wine glasses and daily housekeeping service with attention to detail. Some have fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, kitchens or breakfast rooms. All are air conditioned in the summer.

We serve a full New England breakfast with hot entrees such as Almond Crusted French Toast, Maine Blueberry Pancakes, freshly baked muffins and scones, juice, fresh fruits, teas and coffee. Breakfast is served in the dining room or, in summer, on the porch. Guests staying in our lovely cottage suites may opt to have their breakfast delivered in a wicker basket.

In the summer, beach towels, umbrellas, beach passes and chairs are available for use by our guests. We also have a covered bicycle rack, off street parking, restaurant directory, and complimentary loan from our video collection. Join us for afternoon tea on the sunny porch in summer or around a cozy fire on cooler days; a fun way to meet your fellow guests and innkeepers while enjoying coffee, tea or piping hot cider and desserts, and learning the history of The Maine Stay and surrounding Kennebunkport. Exceptional warmth and hospitality greets you from the time you enter the front door. Let George and Janice help you in planning your daily excursions and itinerary to make your stay a most enjoyable and memorable one. From the elegant breakfast, to the delightful afternoon tea, to your cozy room at night - The Maine Stay Inn is the ideal base from which to explore Kennebunkport, enjoy the ports and beaches of this quaint seaside village or to take day trips along the rocky coast of southern Maine.
