Old River House is perfectly situated within walking distance to town in one direction and along the ocean in the other. It has a nice porch with a view of the harbor. The house is large and ramshackle in a charming way. It is a nicely set up with 3 pretty large rooms downstairs (unusual in a old house). We thought the major drawback down stairs was the furnishings which were mostly antique but not well-suited to a big group. Like all old houses, this one requires maintenance but certainly nothing to keep you from having a wonderful time at the historic Old River House.

Great place for a larger group. Porch is perfect for family time.

House is awesome Location is perfect and the house welcomes you

Close to town. Lots of room. Porch is great.

We had a great stay! The house was clean and large. Scott was very responsive with our questions regarding our stay and things to do in the area. Great house plenty of room for a large group. Awesome location!

Our family of14 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful historic home. Being just a few short blocks walking distance to all of the shops and action in town was awesome. The owners/host were very helpful. Kennebunkport is a beautiful small town and we hope to go back again someday.

We are a group of several families who have traveled together for years. The Old River House was perfect for us. It's close enough to the village to walk to restaurants and shops. The river, right across the street, is a great place to put in a kayak, which we did several times. There are jogging and walking opportunities everywhere. We enjoyed wondering about days past in this truly historic building. The kitchen is well appointed. Scott and Cheryl are very responsive hosts and took care of anything that came up. We would (and hope to) come again.

We booked a 5 night stay here for our family of 9. Have been coming to Kennebunkport for 30 yrs. Property conveniently located and walkable to town. Traffic on Ocean Ave was noisy. The small park across the street and the kitchen are great. However, we left there feeling disappointed due to the condition of the house. It is falsely advertised as “fully renovated.” It is not. Our recommendations: 1. Bathrooms are old and need remodeling. Plaster on ceiling is falling down and the owner taped paper towel to hold it up. There are no photos showing any of these bathrooms. There was no soap, shampoo, conditioner towel racks anywhere. There is Drainage issue in shower where the water stands for several hours. Not one sink in any bedroom had a towel hook or ring for a hand towel and mirrors were all too small to be helpful. 2. The house needs a good power washing and cleaning. Cobwebs in and out. 3. The bedding needs updating pronto. Quilts are old and worn out, holes in blankets. Upgrading bedding and pillows would make a huge difference. The property has great potential but the owners need to pay attention to detail throughout and remodel the bathrooms. The Removal of personal items would help make quests feel like it’s their home instead of intruding on someone else’s home. Again great potential.

The house was perfectly located, and very comfortable. The manager/owner was extremely accommodating as well. I highly recommend this house to anyone who stays in Kennebunkport!

Great time, thank you

We only stayed for 2 nights, so pretty short. The only drawback was no bedrooms on the ground floor. Everything else worked out great.

We had a wonderful time in Kennebunkport and the hosts could not have been more gracious and helpful. I thought it might be intimidating to have their family next door, but there are different entries to the two houses, and it did not conflict with feeling that we had the "place to ourselves." The yards/parks across 2 sides of the house were very useful for the kids and for the adults to sit and watch the boats go by. It was expensive, but if that is not an object, this is the place to stay in Kennebunkport with a large group.

Wet nice time together in an old residence

The location and size of property was perfect for a girls weekend. Highlights were that we were each able to have our own room and the common areas were very large and seated us comfortably! We were able to walk to shops and restaurants which made the trip to Kennebunkport even more relaxing and enjoyable. The Old River House was just what we needed to rest and recharge.

Excellent!

Excellent!

Loved the old quirky history of the home and the location across from the Kennebunk River.

Scott And Cheryl were nothing but hospitable and caring hosts. Though my group just stayed for 1 night, we were treated better than a hotel stay. The house is massive and true to its word in that it can hold 18 guests. It is perfectly situated, and is a 5 minute walk from The center of beautiful Kennebunkport. Look forward to the many perks like a beach parking pass and ample room for hanging out and chilling out at this old, but beautiful home. Could not recommend more.

The house was wonderful and as described. It is in within walking distance of downtown and the mouth of the Kennebunk River. We were able to walk to our fishing charter that ended quickly due to weather but it was only a short drive up to Portland to find some other indoor activities for us to do. Scott was wonderful to deal with and overall we had a wonderful weekend!!!

The updates to the kitchen were AWESOME! 6 burner cooktop and double ovens handled the cooking load easily for all meals. The dining room handled 14 hungry diners perfectly with plenty of seating. Everyone loved gathering in the double living rooms. The sun was beautiful in the living room in morning while people gathered for morning coffee. Scott was great before during, and after our stay.Great weekend.

Had the greatest time renting this house for Prelude. Perfect location, perfect weekend and scott was an absolute pleasure to work with! We WILL be back for sure!

I booked this house for a group of 9 women. Aside from ensuring there would be enough sleeping space for everyone, having a sufficient number of bathrooms was a top priority. Old River House fit the bill! There was more than enough space such that everyone was able to have their own bedroom. While sleeping on a bed in a beautiful home (in your own room!) is definitely a step up from sleeping on an air mattress in a crowded apartment rented through Airbnb, my recommendation for improvement would be to update the mattresses (or at least add a mattress pad, as I know it would be an expensive endeavor to replace so many beds!) and the sunken-in couches in the living room. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Scott was very communicative and easily reachable. The neighborhood is very safe and picturesque. The house is every bit as old and charming as we hoped it would be. Our group especially loved reading about the history of the home and the surrounding area. Loved the convenience of being so close to Dock Square. It was a bit chilly during our stay, so we especially enjoyed the gas fireplace in the living room while eating pizza and playing games. I would definitely recommend staying here with a large group!

Exceeded expectations in every way. Could not have been more perfect. Location was right in town, easy walking distance to everything. Beautiful views-nice to have park on two sides. Note- it does have a lot of stairs. All bedrooms on 2nd and 3rd floors . I would highly recommend !

We rented this house for a group of ten getting together for a college reunion. Scott was easy to work with, the house had everything we were looking for and was close to town so we could park our cars at the beginning of the weekend and just leave them. The house is a crazy cool old house with a lot of history that was fun to get lost in. Everything creaks so make sure you are comfortable with your travel mates schedules lol! Scott left us a nice welcome gift and everything was just perfect!
