Viewed across the long manicured lawn, the historic Captain Lord Mansion sits peacefully shaded by large Maple trees. As perennial gardens lead you to the entrance, the door seems to swing open and welcome you home for the night. Once inside the lobby, the warmth of hardwood floors, period furniture and beautiful decorations will dazzle you.

From the main lobby you will see the formal gathering/dining room incorporating a large "Centennial Chippendale" dining room table and chairs originally belonging to the Lord family and centering on a large open fireplace. Situated near the original 1812 cooking fireplace, a pair of high-back wing chairs and a camelback sofa complete with down cushions reside by the fire welcoming guests to settle in for conversation or just relaxing. A hearty fire keeps the gathering room toasty warm for most months of the year.

And if you can imagine, this is only the beginning! Each guestroom’s unique appointments have been carefully chosen to make every one an adventure for all your senses to explore and savor. All this is followed up by scrumptious breakfasts, new friends, relaxing times and surrounded by historic Kennebunkport.

Nurtured by your hosts Rick and Bev and their staff, The Captain Lord Mansion’s warmth and happiness emerges from every room where charm and beauty is a way of life and time has no meaning.
