From 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. Cozy to 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 toasty fire is kept tended daily for 10 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 each 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.
