It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The holiday lights are twinkling, the winter air is crisp, and the streets are buzzing with merriment. Winter in Kennebunkport, Maine, is captivating and the Kennebunkport Inn — located in the heart of town — is just steps from all the splendor of the season.

Christmas Lane at Kennebunkport Inn

This year, the driveway, patio and deck surrounding Dock Square’s most historic hotel are being transformed into “Christmas Lane”! There’ll be fun activities, socially distant cocktails and private dining options to make your spirits bright!

On the front terrace, enjoy three cozy igloos, fire pits, and curling; plus, a trio of custom-built red gondolas on the deck.  Delight in a menu of winter-inspired snacks & sweets, cool cocktails, and hot cocoa when you reserve any of the private dining spaces. Or, gather a few close friends and learn the sport of Curling (reservations required, $25 per hour).
