Bring the Pooch!

A vacation isn’t the same without Fido—that’s why we warmly open our doors to four-legged guests! From special rooms set aside for your pooch to a complimentary welcome bag, your doggie is sure to have a paw-fect getaway. We’ve also partnered with West Kennebunk’s Animal Welfare Society to donate a portion of the nightly fee to local furry friends in need.
