About this property

Charming and Romantic Arundel Farm. Close to all Beaches in the Kennebunks!

Guest Quarters on a gorgeous 9-acre property just 1.5 miles from Dock Square in the seaside town of Kennebunkport. You are close to all beaches in the Kennebunks. The BEST double stuffed lobster rolls are only 5 minutes away!

Well Behaved Dogs Welcome with Prior Approval!

A Romantic Vacation Awaits You on Arundel Farm, an historic property just minutes from ocean beaches, Dock Square and the Cape Arundel Golf Course. Restaurants, Antiquing and all activities are just minutes away.

Up to 2 dogs are welcome with prior permission! We only have a couple of rules for our dog visitors which are easy to abide by. Although, we love other animals we only accept dogs and no other type of pet as some guests have severe allergies to cats and birds.

You'll think you've stepped back in time to an historic village when you visit stunning Arundel Farm. Discover your unique and private guest lodgings on a pastoral 9 acre setting right near the ocean and convenient to all area attractions!

While our historic home was built in 1760, your private and spacious guest quarters are on the entire upper floor of the carriage house built in 2000. Your accommodations include a large, high ceiling living room with cupola skylight, dining area and well equipped kitchen, private balcony with bistro table and chairs. Guest quarters include a lovely, light filled queen bedroom with luxury linens, and spacious bathroom with shower. There is also a washer and dryer for your convenience. There are AC units in the master bedroom and in the main living area (to cool the living room, dining room and kitchen.) In Autumn radiant heating in floors make it very cozy.

The serene grounds include the historic main house, carriage house, historic 1930s Jelly House, scenic far barn, natural spring-fed pond and charming gazebo. Enjoy beautiful vistas with gardens and stone walls.

Arundel Farm is located just 1.5 mile from Dock Square and all shops, restaurants and art galleries in Kennebunkport and Kennebunk. The property is just a short drive to beautiful Cape Porpoise. For sun and fun, several glorious beaches are right nearby including: Goose Rocks, Gooches, Mothers, Colony and Kennebunkport Beach.

Our property is just around the block from The Cape Arundel Golf Course, a semi-private club along the shores of the Kennebunk River. Book your own tee time in advance and golf where many U.S. Presidents and other dignitaries have played.

The Farm is conveniently located to many other area attractions including Whale Watch Trips, Sailing Trips, Deep Sea Fishing, Horse and Carriage Rides and Horseback Riding, Kayaking, Bike Rentals, Antique Hunting, Summer Music Theater at Vinegar Hill ... all just minutes form your guest house.

During your stay, remember to take a drive along Ocean Avenue to see the gorgeous homes along Maine's rocky coast. Bring bikes and explore portions the Eastern Trail bike path which runs 22 miles from Kennebunk to Portland. We are a short car ride into town, beaches, antique malls and all points of interest in Kennebunkport and Kennebunk.

After a busy day, return to peaceful Arundel Farm and enjoy a cool drink on your own private balcony or stroll the grounds and sit in our beautiful gazebo overlooking the pond and far barn. Relax before you get ready for an evening out on the town. There are an amazing assortment of great local restaurants.

We opened Arundel Farm Gallery in July 2016 on the first floor of the carriage house featuring the works of many local and national artist*s. You are welcome to join your hosts Julie and Paul for any gallery events during your stay. Please check our website for more information and schedule of events. We also offer summer workshops in our Far Barn, taught by several of our gallery artists! Visit the gallery website to learn about current workshops.

Besides summertime, visit Arundel Farm in the autumn to enjoy the spectacular foliage in this wonderful New England location. Arundel Farm is just 30 minutes from Portland, Maine ... 40 minutes from Portsmouth, New Hampshire and 1.5 hours from Boston, Massachusetts. We are also just 1.5 hours from the Lakes Region of New Hampshire including Lake Winnipesaukee ... a fabulous day trip!

With prior approval dogs are welcome to join you on your very special vacation (limited to 2) and, although we love all animals, no other type of pet is allowed in our carriage house apartment as some guests have severe allergies to cats, birds, etc.

Feel free to call Julie and Paul if you have any other questions about our accommodations. Please note that the carriage house guest quarters are on the upper floor of the carriage house and, unfortunately, is not wheel chair accessible or for those with issues walking up and down stairs. The property is also not suitable for small children as we have a pond on property.

Great stay close to town

We had a boat docked in town, a dog and bikes. It was great to stay in a comfortable place at night where we had room to spread out and easy access to town.

Cute, comfortable apartment with friendly hosts!

The apartment is clean, pleasant and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and invited us to an art show opening at their gallery. There is a big field for the dogs to use in the back of the property.

This property it beautiful inside and out. The grounds are the epitome of Maine! and the apartment is beautifully decorated and very well equipped for cooking. Hosts Julie and Paul are excellent hosts and always available, although everything we needed or wanted was provided in the unit. We do hope to return some day.

This is the best property we have stayed at during all of our many visits to Maine! The hosts could not have been more welcoming, even including our pups in a totally unexpected but delightful welcome basket. Every interaction with them was a delight, yet we also had total privacy. The unit itself is darling and has everything you could ever need, including a well appointed kitchen for meal prep, and thoughtful touches like a hanging shoe rack in the closet to free up space, and seasonal gourds on the little balcony porch and pumpkin spice hand soap to make things fall-festive. We loved it so much we extended our stay (and felt lucky that there was rare availability to do so!) My husband also loved the proximity to a lovely (and challenging) golf course. Enthusiastically recommend!

Fantastic property, couple and vacation experience

Wow. We hesitated to write a rave review given we don't want this gem to become unavailable for our future vacations. Julie and Paul are kind, wonderful, hands-off, accommodating hosts. Good people gravitate to good people. Thus all the positive reviews. The stay was perfect. Spacious, beautifully and simply decorated, amazing property and ability to come and go as we pleased. No hassle. No fuss. We brought our old boxer rescue and newborn baby. The washer/dryer and kitchen was key for us. As was the dog-friendly aspect of the rental. All worked out perfectly. We'd be happy to recommend Julie and Steve and the carriage house to anyone. But you have to promise to keep this lil gem a secret if you rent from them so we can selfishly all reclaim our serenity when we need it by booking without the rental being sold out year-round. Promise?

Wonderful property

The carriage house was absolutely lovely. Location is handy to Kennebunkport shops and restaurants and within a couple of miles of the beaches. But best of all, the accommodations are modern- spotless- on a stunning property...and the hosts are incredible. This is a five star place for sure!!

Perfection in Perfect Maine!

We could not have enjoyed our stay at Arundel Farm more! Julie and Paul are the consummate hosts! They have thought of everything you may need before you think of it yourself. The carriage house is spacious, spotless, and special. And the bed is as comfortable as any I have ever had. As if that wasn't enough we adored getting to know Julie and Paul. They are living the life and we felt truly lucky to borrow a little slice of it for our perfect week in Maine. Already dreaming of returning one day....

Perfect!

Our stay couldn't have been better. From the minute we arrived, the hosts, Julie and Paul, made us feel right at home. The carriage house was in a beautiful country setting, but only 1 1/2 miles to the main street of Kennebunkport. The apartment itself was very clean, comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed. The furnishings, dishes and linens were first rate. Close by were beaches, lots of restaurants, pubs, museums, and hiking and biking paths. Best of all was a nearby supermarket that steamed and cracked fresh lobsters at a fraction of the cost of ordering them at a restaurant. Thank you so much, Julie and Paul for a wonderful vacation! Our only regret was that we could not stay longer.

We thoroughly enjoyed Arundel Farm

The two of us, accompanied by our small dog, thoroughly enjoyed our several week stay at this beautiful location. It is truly a unique and scenic property with its well preserved and historic main house, and beautifully maintained surrounding grounds including wildflowers, a pond, and even a horse barn and paddock. The detached Carriage House worked very well for us. Taking advantage of our central location and our outdoor interests , we walked almost daily to Dock Square in Kennebunkport, and enjoyed several and varied bike routes throughout the Town, and surrounding coastal area. We easily day tripped to explore either Portland to the north, or Portsmouth NH to the south…each only about a half hour drive from the location, and both interesting to visit. .. There are several enjoyable golf courses in the immediate area that we played, and we also explored several local beaches as well. There is no shortage of excellent restaurants in the surrounding area. We counted no fewer that 20 that we visited and must say that we liked them all . The Owners could not have been more hospitable. They were both gracious and accommodating, and they made us feel as if we were at home. Thank you both and we look forward to returning.

Great Property and Great Location! Perfect!

We stayed in the Carriage House for our 20th anniversary. We are so happy we found this rental! The owners are wonderful and very welcoming, making the rental experience very comfortable. This is a beautiful property and the carriage house apartment is amazing! Very clean and all the comforts of home. We stayed with our 12 year old daughter and our dog. The sofa bed worked great for our daughter. We had plenty of room and privacy. We loved the location - close to everything, yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet country feel. We had a great week enjoying the beach and town, and especially the First Chance Whale Watch. Love the area and truly loved this rental! We look forward to staying here again when we visit, and have recommended it to family and friends who plan to visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Our Honemoon

My fiancée (at the time) and I were looking for a place to honeymoon after our late September wedding that would satisfy our love of the fall and the ocean at the same time. We happened on the Carriage House by chance and felt that we had found our honeymoon heaven. Well we were right! When we arrived we were met by the owners Paul and Julie who were simply wonderful and genuinely accommodating. The Carriage House was so very beautiful and comfortable that we felt special within its walls. The grounds are impeccably kept and gorgeous and anything we wanted to see was but minutes away. Most importantly on our honeymoon we were able to be alone when we wanted or be in the middle of the beauty that is Maine at our convenience. We were able to ride our bicycles everywhere we wanted to go in just minutes as well. We would recommend this vacation spot to any of our family or friends. To Paul and Julie We would like to thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for your huge role in the success of our honeymoon and it was an extreme pleasure to meet such a great couple who work very hard and love living life. A THOUSAND TIMES THANKS j&j
