I remembered this property when it was the Green Heron years ago. Famous for its breakfast. It is now a delightful, clean and quiet BB/small hotel.
The room was perfect and had the most comfortable bed with lovely linens, bathroom had great walk in shower. The continental simple breakfast was perfect - yogurts, juice, coffee and yummy muffin. Only suggestion - change the old dining gallery to a living room for guests to relax in, read a book, chat etc. Please do not ruin the ambiance of such a sweet stay by putting in a restaurant into that space. Presently it is a hidden gem where I had a lovely night’s sleep.

We enjoyed our stay. Clean and kind. It is on a main road which is good for convenience. I’d prefer a view if ocean being from Colorado.
5.0
We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and an easy walk into town. Due to our late decision to travel we were only able to get a small room. While the room was nice the bathroom was tiny with zero counter space. It was very convenient to have coded doors and not have to bother with cards.
The people were professional and pleasant. We opted out of the continental breakfast.

We loved our room!! The only addition I'd make is a full length mirror, otherwise it was perfect!! We'll definitely be going back!

This is a very charming property near the Kennebunk River. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Bicycles and kayaks available on site. Restaurant on site. Nearby the quaint downtown shopping area. We had an amazing stay!

The lady in frontdesk is very friendly and helpful.
The room is very small and it costs ~$210. There is no water kettle or hot water if you want to make some tea or coffee.
The breakfast is only one muffin and several small pieces of fruit for each person.

We stayed at Mabel's House for 2 nights. It was a perfect quaint inn. Very well maintained and clean. The staff was very friendly. We ate at Mabel's Lobster Claw and at Ocean for dinner. Both were delicious. We kayaked the River and stopped at Federal Jacks brewpub for lunch. The lobster bisque was amazing. Kennenbunkport is a delightful town.

Room was tiny, no water or coffee maker in room as per the Hotel.com description of this place, Paint was peeling off ceiling in bathroom and towel rail fell off

Very quaint! Used the bikes but tires needed air and my husbands bike chain kept falling off. A bagged breakfast was different but still enjoyed it. Would recommend.

Mables is absolutely a great place to stay!!! The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Mables restaurant such a convenient spot and wonderful food.
We look forward to seeing them next year.
Breakfast suggestion……sleeves for hot coffee/hot water otherwise continental breakfast was perfect
and delish.
4.0
The contactless choices, such as no staff assistance, using codes to access the doors, grabbing a small breakfast bag to go, and opting out of room service unless necessary, offered convenience but slightly diminished the personal touch and seemed a bit expensive for the services offered.

Great location and we loved the Cove Cottage.
4.0
Great location—walkable to a small beach and town. Small room—stayed in 47, but had all the amenities and a sweet view onto an inlet. Lovely staff who will provide whatever you need. One critique is with the continental breakfast served daily—bagged per person I suppose due to COVID precautions, but pretty sad offerings. Sugary mini yogurt and a small cup of uninspiring cut fruit, with a cold pastry that varies daily. The pastry was potentially pretty good but cold, with no way to heat it. Served with cheap plastic utensils. No microwave or toaster oven available. Good coffee and plenty of it. Also orange juice is available—but those breakfast offerings should be better than that for the price of the room. Most places have restored hot breakfast service, but this place still clings to the COVID type limitations of a bagged cold breakfast. The site manager Alberto does try his best to be accommodating and did provide a real butter knife and bowls at our request when we brought in our own fruit and cereal etc.

We had a delightful 5-day stay at Mabel's House! Alberto and all the staff were welcoming and gracious hosts and took such good care of us. Their location is excellent — far removed enough from the busy foot and car traffic of central Kennebunkport to offer peace and quiet and a good night's sleep, while just a 12-15 minute walk (or even quicker bike ride or drive) to that lively part of town. Even closer in the other direction, you have a lovely small beach and beautiful meandering coastline dotted with charming seaside houses. I won't soon forget the wonderful running route this provided! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Suite, which was clean, up-to-date, and nicely furnished, and offered our family of four plenty of room to spread out comfortably in. The included continental breakfast was a big help to have, as it let us spend more time enjoying the beaches and less in restaurants. Having bicycles available to borrow gave us a nice way to go see the town, and having use of four EV charging spaces (3 Tesla wall adapters 1 J1772) was a nice bonus not mentioned in the property description. The associated restaurant next door is a must visit; we enjoyed a great meal there on arriving. Overall, a wonderful vacation spot. We would definitely recommend Mabel's House to friends, and look forward to returning!

Had a fabulous stay at Mabel’s Place, comfortable, accommodating, clean. Great location, walking distance from the square and harbor, next door to their incredible restaurant. Enjoyed use of the bikes or just sitting on the back facing the river. Above all, the staff was outstanding and provided all the info on the area. We’ll be back.

Had a wonderful stay at Mabel's House. Contactless check-in was very easy, room was very adequate, staff was very pleasant, and it was in a great location (close to the beach, shopping, including a convenience store next door, and dining). Would certainly come back!
Note that it is located about 3/4 mile from the Kennebunkport town center, which is walkable, but we tended to drive and park in the main parking lot in town to have additional shopping and dining options. I saw shuttles running, and believe bicycles are available from the hotel as transit options into town, but we never used them.
5.0
Room was spacious and clean. Parking was super convenient and it was easy to walk to shopping and the beach.

Lovely and peaceful stay, the place is in excellent condition and provides serenity with activities right around the corner. The only negatives were no coffee maker in the room and downstairs did not make it until 8am. And they should really have recycling baskets in the room.

Stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. It was lovely. Clean and comfortable. All staff were pleasant and accommodating making sure our every need was met.

Great boutique hotel in Kennebunkport. Rooms are on the smaller end but you shouldn’t be spending a ton of time in the room! The bathrooms are great and spacious. If you get a chance, the restaurant, Mabel’s Lobster, is fantastic.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mabel’s House. We were in the luxury suite which is huge- two large bedrooms, living area and kitchen. It was awesome! It was very clean and very quiet- we didn’t hear a peep the whole time we were there. Cute shops across the street and Mabel’s restaurant right next door. We loved everything about our stay and can’t wait to go back!

Such a nice stay! Overall wonderful experience, friendly staff and very helpful. Bikes for guests were the best! We used them every day. We would definitely come back again and stay at Mabel’s
2.5
We stayed in the cottage and thought it was a lovely space in a beautiful setting. It was a perfect compromise between the convenience of a hotel and the extra space of an Airbnb. The location in town was excellent and walkable to many great spots. The best part of the stay was the extremely helpful and attentive staff who responded almost instantly and took care of our needs promptly. Alberto in particular was so gracious and attentive, and even helped us get a hard to manage reservation at a restaurant. Strong recommend to anyone to stay here!

Mabel's House was very comfortable! They had bikes and kayaks to use and it's situated on a cove and you can enjoy the view from Adirondack chairs on the water. The staff was very good and so nice!

We absolutely loved our time at Mabel's House! We stayed in the two-bedroom Cove Side Cottage, which was adorable and perfect for our needs.
The staff were super friendly and accommodating. While check in was contactless, someone stopped by shortly after we arrived to make sure everything went smoothly. Someone else came by later to ask us about any food allergies to prepare for the continental breakfast, which consisted of yogurt, fruit, and fresh pastries every day, served in personalized paper bags with our room number on them (so cute!). After the first day when I asked for Splenda for my tea and they didn't have any on hand, the next morning there was a whole dish of Splenda in addition to the rest of the sugar -- so thoughtful!
We loved the location and the fact that it was "on the water" with the tidal estuarine cove. I went kayaking with the free rentals they offered and it was so peaceful. Plus, Colony Beach was right down the road, where we enjoyed watching the sunset on our final night. The shops across the street were fantastic -- don't miss Dannah for Men! And Dock Square was a short drive away. We also ended up eating at Mabel's Lobster Claw (the restaurant right next to the property) for both lunch & dinner. The calamari & chicken scampi linguine were divine!!
Long story short, Mabel's House is a truly incredible place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kennebunkport!

Mabel’s House was 10/10! Absolutely would return!

Great staff. Only recommendation is put a carpet or something ti absorb sound in area about room 42. You could hear every step and dropped item. Besides that the hotel staff goes out of their way to accommodate and make you feel at home. Will stay in another room next time.
