A summer tradition in Kennebunkport.
Open seasonally along the banks of the Kennebunk River, The Nonantum Resort has been welcoming guests for more than a century. Family-owned and full of summer energy, it offers a balance of waterfront activities and easy access to town, all while still feeling like a true escape from everyday life.
Your seasonal retreat on the Kennebunk River.
Life here unfolds at the pace of the Kennebunk River, with time by the water, salt air, and wide-open views shaping the day. The mood is warm and communal without feeling crowded, polished without feeling formal. It's the kind of coastal stay where mornings ease in, afternoons stretch out, and evenings come together naturally, inviting you to settle in quickly and leave with stories that grow richer over time.
Quietly unforgettable, year after year.
Guestrooms are split between the historic Carriage House Inn, known for its 19th-century charm and individually styled rooms, and the waterfront Portside Lodge, which offers a more relaxed, nautical vibe, with many rooms featuring private outdoor spaces and sweeping water views. Across the resort, spend time lounging by the outdoor pool, joining in on lawn games or a morning yoga session, or simply taking in the waterfront setting. A rotating lineup of activities and casual evening gatherings adds to the easygoing, community feel. Exploring beyond the resort comes naturally, whether you're heading into Dock Square by bike, getting out on the Kennebunk River by kayak, or taking the seasonal shuttle into town.
Start each day with a breakfast buffet built around fresh fruit, house-made pastries, baked goods, and hot favorites. Later on, Heckmans shifts the day into a more casual mode with Maine-made bites and brews in a relaxed pub setting. At Latitudes, open-air dining and river views pair with fresh seafood, classic desserts, and a menu with options for families. Kennebunkport also offers plenty of nearby spots for a good meal and a casual drink.
Located on the Kennebunk River in Kennebunkport, Maine, within walking distance of Dock Square.
