Lexington Elms
A Guest House in Kennebunk, Maine – Opening Soon
A New Chapter Begins – Lexington Elms is preparing to welcome its first guests in early spring 2027. Our opening date is still being finalized, and we look forward to sharing this special historic home with you soon. In the meantime, explore our website to learn of the exciting things to come.
Lexington Elms is a boutique guest house in a beautifully preserved 1799 Federal-style home in the heart of Kennebunk, Maine. It’s a place with more than two centuries of stories in its walls and a warmth you’ll feel the moment you step inside. This is a place to slow down, settle in, and feel at home from the moment you arrive. And when you’re ready to explore, you’ll find bakeries, cafes, restaurants, and shops just a short walk away, with the beaches of the southern Maine coast only a quick drive whenever the ocean calls.
Refined Comfort in a Historic Home
We’ve always believed that a truly wonderful stay comes down to the details. Beds dressed in soft, natural fiber linens that invite you to sleep in. Cozy nooks and comfortable chairs that make it easy to lose track of time with a good book. A coffee and tea bar that’s ready whenever you are.
Once we’re open in the spring, guests will enjoy a simple, lovely breakfast bar each morning, with fresh fruit, pastries, and ready-to-go options, thoughtfully prepared to accommodate dietary needs. Because a good day in Maine deserves a good start.
Every corner of the home reflects its long history, full of antique beauty and patina, but never at the expense of comfort. This isn’t a museum, it’s a place to settle in.
