Snow, snow everywhere you go

Experience the magic of the 1802 house Inn this winter in Maine


Yes, the snow is all around us! We received an unexpected 3 to 4 inches of snow yesterday and the golf course out back looks all together different then just a week ago. I can attest, golfers were out two weeks ago, who could believe the warm weather we were having? Regardless of the weather outside today, our rooms are warm and cozy, especially those with the wood burning fireplaces. I spoke with the stables today and they will be offering the weekend sleigh rides. The cost is $10 per person and we sometimes include the rides with a two night weekend stay so please check our emails and specials page from time to time. A private ride can also be arragned.

Oh, by the way, Kennebunkport does not require a 'passport' for those already living here is the States to visit us, I can guarantee it. The last time I checked, there was no one at the town line checking I.D.'s. Did you know that anyone traveling to the Caribbean now requires a passport to return to the U.S.? And it won't be long that the same will be true even to cross the Canadian border. New security regulations will go in effect over the next year or two as a result of 9/11...an event in U.S. history none of us will ever forget.

We had the entire family here at the inn for Christmas along with several guests who were here visiting their families as well. The Christmas tree is long gone along with the Christmas decorations that adorned the inn, both inside and out. The winter is such a tranquil time of year. The new fallen snow blankets the yard and golf course. It remains unbroken, not a single foot step or tire track. Amazingly the moon cascades its beams onto the snow and casts shadows of the tall, leafless trees, It's a picture perfect postcard for those who take the time to notice.

We invite to make a visit to Kennebunkport and the 1802 House Inn this winter. The hot coffee and cocoa is always on and there's a fire in common living room for those who want share the stories of their day.

Winter finally arrives, midweek savings

It's hard to believe that two weekends ago our Saturday temperature was in the mid sixties. Sue and I walked the beach that afternoon and found many people doing the same, some even taking a mid winter 'dip', a bit too cold for my body however. Today we have ice and snow on the ground. Snow total was about 1 inch and not much to write home about. The ice certainly made it very slippery for our guests who ventured out on Sunday yet everyone still had a good time The inn was warm, the food was good and the company was great. The return of La Nina cycle has been confirmed by the National Weather Service. They are predicting it may last right through the summer. It looks like we're in for one of those warmer winters! One good thing will be less heating oil being consumed and hopefully helping to keep the gas prices down. We've included a picture of the inn with our winter lights however there was no snow at the time. I'll be taking new pictures now that we've had a dusting and posting them in the next blog.

We're offering a special for those who can take time off during the week. From now until January 26th, simply bring a copy of the blog and mention when booking for a $25 off coupon off the regular rate. Applies to mid week stays only.
