About the Inn
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this former sea captain's home offers the grace and splendor of a bygone era.
Built in 1860 on property given to him by his father, Captain Melville Walker made this beautiful home his personal family residence. The grandson of one of the earliest Kennebunkport families,
 Captain Walker was a merchant sea captain who sailed around the world, often bringing his wife, Abbie, and children with him on his journeys.
Highly respected, Captain Walker was known as a fastidious navigator and savvy merchant. His grand home and its spacious landscaped lawns now welcome guests from around the globe.
The Maine Stay Inn & Cottages at the Melville Walker House offers a rich variety of bed and breakfast inn accommodations. Guest rooms and suites in the historic main house evoke a character and allure of a bygone era.
The charming English cottages surround the property and offer privacy and tranquility, each uniquely and exquisitely decorated.
The comforts of modern life are tastefully present in each of our guest quarters. Each room or suite offers firm beds, private baths, fluffy towels, specialty soaps and amenities, TV/VCR, hair dryers, wine openers, wine glasses and daily housekeeping service with attention to detail. Some have fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, kitchens or breakfast rooms. All are air conditioned in the summer.
It's easy to imagine days of yore when this
beautifully restored 19th century Victorian was a prominent
sea captain's home. Relax in
 front of a cozy fire with a good book or during Afternoon Teatime while you
chat with other guests and plan your evening in the romantic seaside
village of Kennebunkport!
