About Franciscan Guest House
Franciscan Guest House is a quiet and contemplative sanctuary located just a short walk from the beach and town in Kennebunkport. This hidden gem features modest, air-conditioned rooms that are clean and comfortable, though they show signs of age. Guests appreciate the beautiful grounds and the natural beauty surrounding the property. The staff, known for their kindness and friendliness, provide a welcoming atmosphere that makes visitors feel right at home. The guest house is a converted hotel from a monastery, offering a unique history for guests to explore. While it is a no-frills accommodation, it includes essential amenities like coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in the mornings. The location is excellent, providing easy access to local attractions without the hassle of parking. Despite some minor drawbacks, such as the lack of elevators and the need for fluffier pillows, many guests express a desire to return. With plans for renovations and a commitment to maintaining cleanliness, Franciscan Guest House remains an affordable and enjoyable choice for a peaceful stay.
A quiet and contemplative place with friendly people. Rooms are modest but air-conditioned and cozy in a way that certain people will find very enlivening.

Very kind people. Beautiful grounds. The rooms are showing their age but everything works and is clean. They have a proposal with Kennebunkport to completely renovate the guest areas. Some annoying neighbor is blocking it in an attempt to extort the Franciscans to sell part of the property. Who the hell extorts priests.
