Bufflehead Cove

Erin and his mother couldn't have been nicer hosts. They made us feel welcome from the minute we drove up to the time we left. The Balcony Room with the river view and the jacuzzi was incredible. We slept soundly in the big king bed and never heard a peep from any of the other guests. We had breakfast (a fruit smoothie, fresh fruit cup, greek eggs, english muffin with broiled tomato and cheese, and bacon) served on the balcony in our room. Erin recommended an Italian restaurant in nearby Wells that was outstanding and we enjoyed the 5:30 p.m. wine and cheese with crackers. It was a very peaceful, relaxing stay and we were blessed with great weather the Sunday and Monday that we were there. Would love to return in the fall to see the foliage in the area.

erin was the best host, most amazing breakfast every morning, dining on front porch was so calming and relaxing, the room was like being at home only ten times better, the view was so serence , this inn more then met our expectations in every way wwe will return here as many times as we can and recommend to veryone who needs a peaceful getaway ...you must try this place . don and camille matthews connecticut

My husband and I stayed here as part of our honeymoon, the hideway room was beautiful, cozy, and very relaxing. The service was wonderful and very polite. We plan on coming back to celebrate future Anniversary's. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I had the best breakfast of my life at Bufflehead Cove. Cornmeal buttermilk blueberry pancakes. My entire stay at Bufflehead Cove was perfect. It's a very charming place with truly comfortable rooms. What a bed! Would love to go back again.

This place was beautiful and amazing! Everyone there was wonderful! I would definetly visit again!

This was our second visit and it was just as nice as our first two years ago. The inn keepers are warm and welcoming, the rooms and property are beautiful and serene and the breakfast is delicious! We will definitely be back.

We loved our stay and would recommend it to all of our friends. Quiet, lovely, perfect service. A great way to relax.

Our daughter planned an anniversary get away for my wife and I. Upon arrival, we were met at the front door by Erin, who gave us a very warm welcome and made us feel comfortable and at home. Our room was very clean, and tastefully furnished and decorated. We especially looked forward to the breakfasts. They were superb. We also got to meet some of the guests and had enjoyable conversations. We would highly recommend a stay at the Bufflehead Cove Inn in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Bufflehead Cove was the perfect place to spend our Honeymoon. The River Cottage was spectacular with a wonderful living room, bedroom, and Jacuzzi tub. The view from the back patio was beautiful and calming. Everyone we spoke to during our stay were very hospitable and genuinely kind and friendly.

Love the inn. Hospitality first rate. Outstanding breakfasts.

As a long time hospitality professional,I tend to be quite scrutinizing....Bufflehead Cove met and far exceeded all expectations. There is not one single area for me to mention for improvement or where the inn fell short. The property, accommodations,location and certainly owners have it spot on! My husband and I stayed in the Hideaway and this was worth every penny! This stay was was one of our best-worldwide. Book early....it's very popular!

We stayed in the Hideaway room, which is adjacent to the main house. It was lovely, spacious and clean & gave us the perfect balance of privacy and comradery. The Kind-sized bed was very comfortable & we enjoyed the wooded and river views, the gas fireplace and loved having fresh coffee delivered to our deck each morning. The entire team was nice and helpful. We found Aaron was especially kind and really has a great way with people. The breakfasts were fabulous. Every morning was a new and delicious surprise for our tastebuds. Enjoyed the antiquing, walks along the shoreline, esp to Perkins Cove, some good seafood and R & R. Just what we needed. We hope to return someday.

This was an amazing vacation to Maine, as it was our first time. Staying at Bufflehead Cove Inn just made it that much better! What a great place! We researched B&B's before making our selection and all the reviews of this place were amazing, as they hold true. The family who runs it makes you feel so welcome and go above and beyond to make sure your Maine experience is a great one! I love the location also. It is remotely situated off of the main road, nestled within the trees overlooking the water. In the morning you wake up and have breakfast on the beautiful porch which overlooks the water. The breakfast there is amazing! This B&B rates high with me because it was everything that I was looking for; very scenic, great hospitality, good location to shopping etc., and wonderful breakfast! Stayed September 2011, traveled as a couple

one of the best b&b's we've stayed at. Great little shops in Kennebunkport that are very close by.

We only stayed a night, but the hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The home was clean, comfortable and quite relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

Warm welcome, beautiful room, wonderful room, very relaxing and one of our favorite places to go!

Truly a very delightful stay with a sumptuous breakfast. We stayed in the balcony room which we so enjoyed. A very large room that has fantastic river views from all sides. Hope to someday return but left us with forever memories.

This is a great place to enjoy a quiet getaway. The Cove Room was just perfect - small, quaint, and romantic. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding, and the host (Erin) was just awesome (not pushy or consuming). The jacuzzi tub worked really well too. I especially loved the table book that was there on home cottages in New England . . . so appropriate. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Loved the secluded natural surroundings and peaceful, romantic atmosphere. Inn is full of appealing ammenities and decor. All staff are helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely friendly. Had a memorable experience. Jan R.

We stayed in the cottage, which overlooks a small tidal river basin and is only a short walk from the inn. The cottage is beautifully appointed, filled with art and has a gorgeous staircase leading to the sleeping loft. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking in, and there is a gas grill outside. There is a fireplace with wood provided for cold nights. Off of the cathedral ceiling living area there is a dressing room before the bathroom where all luggage may be unpacked into the chests and wardrobes. No need to carry things upstairs. The bathroom is huge with a two person Jacuzzi, separate shower and dressing table. The breakfasts are gourmet, even for this gluten and lactose intolerant eater. They made a point of asking about food issues when we made our reservation and were ready for me. The whole family gives great attention to detail, picking up quickly on preferences of their guests. Breakfasts on the porch were a highlight of every day during our warm weather trip. Some favorite things away from the Inn: Shopping in Kennebunkport, walking out past the ocean and seaside houses that lead to the Bush complex, an outdoor service overlooking the ocean at St. Anne's by the Sea, a visit to the wonderfully maintained and old fashioned amusement park at Orchard Beach to the north, swimming from the beach at Kennebunkport, walking the beautiful Marginal Way, past rocky outcroppings with small beaches in between, and eating a lobster roll with meat that required 3-4 1lb+ lobsters at Ogunquit to the south, attending our first drive-in movie in 45+ years in Saco. And then there is kayaking of the river/creek, fishing, boating and sailing.

What a great relaxing stay at Bufflehead Cove Inn! The hosts made you feel right at home. The breakfast on the front porch overlooking the cove was so nice. An added touch was the free beach pass. Patty & Paul Desaulnier, CT

We booked a last minute stay at the Bufflehead Cove Inn for a Saturday night. We received top-notch service from the moment we stepped on the property. Set way back on a quiet street, the Inn feels as though it's miles away from civilization (in a good way!) but it's just minutes to Dock Square and other area fun spots. Our room (the Balcony Room) was immaculate, and had one of the most comfortable beds we've stayed in in quite a while! Breakfast out on the back porch overlooking the cove was a special treat. We really enjoyed the peacefulness of the location, and wished we were staying for more than the one night. We will definitely stay at this inn again next time we're in the area, and highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Kennebunkport area.

Very comfortable. Extremely friendly staff. Clean, clean, clean facilities. The staff will do just about anything you ask to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We loved it and will stay again if ever in the area.

The staff bent over backwards to be helpful. The home is in a beautiful, peaceful setting, overlooking the river. Breakfast every morning was delightful.

We just returned from our stay at Bufflehead Cove Inn and couldn't be more pleased with the property, the setting, the owners. Not to mention their gourmet breakfast severed on the porch overlooking the cove. We have stayed at many B&Bs over the years and this lovely inn was our favorite. Don't hesitate to book your stay!

Quiet, relaxing, serene, peaceful, rustic but chic. Pampered service and a knowledgable, helpful staff. Amazing breakfasts. Attention to detail. We had a fabulous four-day stay and will be back.

We have stayed at Bufflehead 5 times in recent years, and consider it a gem in the Kennebunk area. Rooms are beautifully done, public spaces are warm and inviting, breakfasts are just about the best we've experienced at any Maine B and B (and we've stayed in a LOT of them over the past 25 yrs) , the view along the river is great, and the Gotts are great hosts. Its also a reasonably good value for what you get. There are lots of good B and B choices in the area,but Buflehead is as good or better than any we have experienced.

This is a must stay for a week or weekend. Do yourself a favor and book a room here. The service is incredible - true hearts to make sure your stay is enjoyable and lovely as possible. The situation is calm, serene and aboslutly beautiful. Breakfast is amazing, both chic and filling, and every detail is thought out with incredible thoroughness. Just loved it and hope to come here again and again.

Lovely place, gracious hosts, friendly atmosphere. Wish we could have lingered for another day.

Our title says it all, we've stayed at about 6 different places this year alone, and Bufflehead beats them all! Harriet is sincere and helpful. She was able to suggest a 'casual' place to eat (The Lobster Hut) which matched our tastes perfectly. The wine and cheese that greeted us when we came in, was a great treat after a long drive that day. Breakfast was wonderful and the views from our room of the river and those from the front porch were so relaxing and beautiful. Our only regret was that we only stayed one night, we will plan a return trip to stay there again! They must have a lot of return visitors as half of the couples there, had stayed there before and won't go anywhere else.

This is one of the best small bed and breakfasts we have ever stayed in. The setting was beautiful, quiet, comfortable and peaceful - a real hidden gem. The gourmet breakfasts were wonderful, and the evening happy hour generous with the wine and cheese. This place was the highlight of our trip to Maine - the very best of the three inns we visited. Would recommend it to anyone!

Beautiful bed & breakfast, friendly staff, beutiful spot, lovely atmosphere.

A wide variety of rooms are available. My wife and I have stayed in three of them and were happy with each. We especially enjoyed the Cove Room. You can see the bridge in Kennebunkport from the property. Getting to town is a short drive away, but you could not be more removed from the hustle and bustle. The breakfasts are incredible (in both quality and quantity). Some days I have skipped lunch because I was still full.

We ejoyed total relaxation, wonderful breakfasts, beautiful view of the Kennebuck river, lovely rooms, and our host, Erin Gott, went out of his way to make our stay wonderful.

We have 4 kids and get one chance to get away alone per year, and this inn was perfect. Down a curvy secluded road it rests on a cove and is perfectly quiet, yet only a mile or so outside of town. Beautiful views, amazing multi-course breakfasts. We stayed in the private riverfront cottage with massive spa bath and great loft bedroom with winding staircase - beautiful. A definate place to visit.

My husband and I cannot express just how wonderful our stay at Bufflehead was this weekend. From the time we arrived, we felt very much at home. The Gott family was so welcoming it was if we were long time friends visiting from out of town. They were very helpful with recommending local restaurants and activities. Our room was beautiful and spotless. The entire property, from the house to the spectacular flowers and water views, allowed for a very restful vacation. Breakfast was such a treat as it was served on the beautiful front porch and was decidedly delicious. We would recommend Bufflehead to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend getaway on a beautiful, tucked away lane close to Kennebunkport.

This lovely inn was peaceful and beautiful. The service was very good and also was the food. Would like to go back.

My wife and I have been vacationing in Kennebunkport for about 20 years and for the last 6 or 7 years we have stayed at Bufflehead Cove. We have tried every room with the exception of the Garden Room and have never been disappointed. Our favorite is the Hideaway. Every visit has been excellent. The rooms are lovely and extremely comfortable. It is the best spot in the area with the ever changing river as the main amusement. Breakfasts on the large front porch are a delight. Now that son Erin has assumed a more significant role in the inn, we are assured of many more great visits.

My husband and I wanted a quiet, romantic getaway in Maine for our one year wedding anniversary. The Bufflehead Cove Inn was everything that we had hoped for. It was so cozy and peaceful, situated right on the river. No children under 12 are allow I believe so it was very quiet and with just a few rooms in the Inn, we got a lot of attention. The rooms were large and CLEAN which is very important to me since I am expecting. Our room was the Balony room and I highly recommend it. The beautiful room had a fireplace and jacuzzi 2 person tub. The bed was so large and comfortable, even my husband said it was one of the most comfortable beds he's ever slept in. The breakfast in the morning is from 8:30-9:30 and it was all homemade delicious food. They also serve wine and cheese every evening at 5:30. This family own Inn was so deligent and eager to make our stay PERFECT! We can't wait to come back!

Attention to detail is what what makes a stay in a b&b exceptional and that attention is paid at every turn at the Bufflehead Cove. From the extraordinary hospitality of the innkeepers to the turn-down service with chocolates to the lavish bed linens and bath towels to the freshly-picked flowers on the breakfast tray to the drawer sachets to the wall murals to the anticipation of every need...attention to detail. Lovely setting. Peace-encouraging views of a always changing tidal river. Well-appointed rooms. Just far enough from and just close enough to the bustle of Kennebunkport. One of my all-time favorite inns!

This is our most favorite B&B. We look forward to arriving each year. The owners are so gracious and help with ideas of what to do and where to eat. It is a great location to just relax and watch the river flow by if you want or go into town and shop. The breakfasts that Jim makes are to die for-especially his stuffed french toast!! I would highly recommend this inn.

We stayed in the cottage that was not attached to the main building. We loved the deck to sit out and look over the river. The staff and owners of the Bufflehead were very helpful in getting us around town and dining locations. The breakfasts were wonderful. Don't miss them.

I have stayed at Bufflehead Cove Inn six or seven times over the past 12 years and each time is like coming home to a first class retreat. The decor is first class while also being inviting and comfortable and the rooms are always spotless. The breakfasts are superb; we started the first morning with a beautifully presented fruit platter followed by wild Maine blueberry pancakes, and another morning included a blueberry crisp and stuffed french toast - outstanding. The hosts couldn't be more warm and friendly and they have lived their lives in Kennebunkport so they always have great recommendations for sightseeing in the area and help with dinner reservations at the area restaurants. The property is so peaceful and tranquil - a completely private area just one minute from the hustle and bustle of the center of Kennebunkport with beautiful views over the Kennebunk river. The only sounds in the evening are the birds chirpping so I always get a very restful sleep at Bufflehead. The rooms are lovely - I've stayed in all of them - and love each one. The furnishings are lovely and comfortable, linens first rate, bathrooms well equipped and many have spa tubs. Outstanding breakfast included with room rate as well as afternoon wine and appetizers. They recommended a great pub/restaurant that we hadn't tried before - the Ramp in Cape Porpoise - it was outstanding - the best lobster roll I've ever had and I've tried many of them over the years - all of our food was served by a very friendly and competent waitress and everything tasted fabulous! I look forward to returning to Bufflehead for many years to come and being warmly greeted as always by the Gott family. They provide the perfect respite for anyone that wants a relaxing and beautiful escape. I've tried several other properties in Kennebunkport and they are fine, but NONE can compare to Bufflehead Cove Inn!

If you even venture to Kennebunkport, do not miss your opportunity to stay at this Bed and Breakfast. It's phenomenal and after three visits, from South Florida, the owners are like old friends. It's a beautiful home and I feel grateful to have been able to stay there. Oh, and breakfast is out of this world! So, is their dog!

Of all the inns we stayed at during our trip to New England, this was by far the most charming and welcoming. The family run inn is hidden at the end of a beautiful tree lined road, sitting on the Kennebunk River. It is beauty and calm, restful and charming, and my favorite among them all. Can't wait to return. Kristi S.

We found Bufflehead Cove a marvellous place to unwind after driving around half of New England. We stayed at the Cottage which was one of the best furnished & equipped lodgings that we have stayed at. Our hosts were most accommodating and everything was spot on. As one guest stated, the Cove is very quite but close enough to walk into town. A very relaxing place to stay, and one day we would love to return

The inn is beautiful on the inlet. The innkeepers are kind, pleasant and helpful. We had a fabulous and relaxing time there.

We spent three days at Bufflehead, and it was a delight. The room was perfect, the location beautiful, and the owners and staff were the best. We are lucky enough to travel all over the world, and this was one of the best B&B's we have stayed at. Harriet and Jim, and their son Aaron were the best of hosts, the breakfasts were elegant, and everyone was as helpful as could be for recommendations on restaurants,( make sure you go to the White Barn for dinner) local sights, etc. Harriet has promised me that she will put a pad on the landing so 6" 4" guys like me won't crack their heads on the stairs, but she was a good sport about it (Why not, it was my head?) Truly a great experience, and we look forward to our return.

Not only was this the most beautiful setting for a Bed and Breakfast that we have ever visited, but the owners were so friendly!!! They went beyond to make this an extraordinary stay from the warm & inviting rooms, the wine and cheese hour, the wonderful breakfast, and all of the helpful travel and dinner suggestions!

All is can say is do not hesitate to go there you will not be sorry. ONce you have been there you will make it a point to go again. The views are wonderful the breakfast is to die for you would think martha stewart was there. DO not try and other bed and breakfast until you try here and you will return many times after that.

We have returned to this inn 7-8 times over the years for a stay that fits all our desires. Charming innkeepers & hosts.

Panoramic views, spacious, immaculate accomodations, attentive hosts, scrumptious breakfasts, Jim and Harriet Gott and their son Erin spoil you so you never want to leave. The Hideaway Cottage with the views of the Kennebunk River allows you to view the native wildlife, and the occasion kayaker floating by. We were overfed and pampered- we will return! Art & Jeannie Steidel Fort Myers, Florida

Away from the hustle of Kennebunkport yet close to everything. Relaxing. Wonderful view of the cove. Rooms are comfortable and charming. Breakfast is excellent. The hosts are friendly and eager to help.

Service and hospitality was outsanding! It was a great experience!

The inn is perfect on the water, wonderful breakfasts, and excellent service. Close to town, but far enough away for privacy.

Amazing views....Words cannot describe how relaxing the inn was...The breakfast was amazing and the inn keepers were soo pleasant!

Greeted by plesant keeper, Aaron. Large shade trees abound th elarge property while a huge proch invites you to sit and relax. Very comfortable, "homey" room with lots of local guide books. Can't go wrong at Bufflehead Cove Inn!

It was peaceful, quiet, relaxing and the food was excellent. Very clean and nicely decorated. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying there again....

We stayed at the Bufflehead Cove Inn last May and were absolutely stunned. the Inn was SO peaceful, relaxing, and the Innkeepers (and lab "Lilly") were so welcoming and friendly. The service was top notch and the food was VERY good. I'd live there year round if we could! We will most definitely return.

The rooms are all uniquely decorated and the rooms comfortably appointed, with amenities such as Wireless Internet Access, Cable TV, Air conditioning and turn down service. They will make arrangements for restaurants and local attractions. The inn is meticulously kept up while still maintaining it cottage charm. They serve a delicious full breakfast on a wrap-around veranda with sweeping views of the tidal river or in the Victorian dining room. The value is outstanding, when you are looking for a convenient yet private location, and friendly hospitality. I recommend it to all my friends.
