Historic Kennebunkport Bed & Breakfast Lodging
Truly
“A Very Special Place,” The Captain Jefferds Inn Bed & Breakfast
is
a warm and inviting 1804 sea captain’s home. From the time you enter
through the red  front door you will experience the charm, comfort
and exceptional hospitality provided by the innkeepers
and dedicated staff.
Nestled in Kennebunkport’s quiet historic district and surrounded by
beautifully manicured lawns and gardens, the inn is a quick stroll
to ‘Dock Square,’ Kennebunkport’s town center. There you’ll enjoy
specialty boutiques, art galleries, antique shops and a full range
of restaurants from local lobster pounds to five diamond rated
restaurants.
The Captain Jefferd's Inn is just a ˝ block from the
harbor where you can see the rocky Maine sea coast properly from the
bow of a boat, sail on a traditional gaff rigged schooner, or
venture further out in the Atlantic ocean to see our annual
migrating whales.
Kennebunkport, Maine has been attracting visitors since
the 19th century. Vacationers arrived by railcar or horse drawn
carriage to enjoy the prestigious and prosperous ocean-side town and
fishing village. It was made internationally famous by our most
prominent residents President George Bush Sr. and wife Barbara
during his presidency. So, if you’re looking for a romantic bed and
breakfast, relaxing getaway, or an activity and fun-filled vacation,
Kennebunkport and The Captain Jefferd's Inn should be your first
stop.
The Inn’s History
This magnificent building, which
now houses
 The Captain Jefferds Inn
was originally built in 1804 by Daniel Walker.
Upon completion, it was given as a wedding
present to his daughter Mary and her new husband
Captain William Jefferds in 1805.
Mr. Jefferds
was a seafaring captain and it is said that his
wife Mary would stand atop the still present
“widows walk,” to watch for her husband’s ship
to return from sea. The mansion stayed a private
residence until 1982 when it was converted to a
bed and breakfast.
In September of 1996 the inn
was purchased and completely renovated by the
Bartholomew family, who successfully ran it as a
bed and breakfast for 9 years. Erik and Sarah Lindblom purchased the inn from the
Bartholomeuws in April 2005 The Captain Jefferds
Inn welcomes guests to 15 uniquely appointed and
individually decorated rooms and suites.
There
are
 eleven
guest quarters in the main house, and an
additional four in the attached carriage house.
All rooms and suites have been renovated with
the discerning traveler in mind; while
preserving the original splendor and
architecture of the federal style home.
Each of
our air-conditioned rooms (in the summer months)
feature Queen or King size beds, with superior
quality bed linens, and down filled comforters
and pillows. All rooms have a private bath with
plush terry robes, luxury bath amenities, hair
dryers and make up mirrors.
Fresh flowers, daily maid service, and CD
players are also included to help make your stay
just a bit more enjoyable.
Some of our rooms
have additional luxury amenities, which are
