Inn Details
The Green Heron Inn offers a cozy, informal atmosphere in the finest New England tradition. Enjoy our peaceful setting by the water and the picturesque view of the tidal inlet. The inn contains ten charming guest rooms, each with private bath, TV, and AC. The adjoining cove side cottage has its own porch and balcony, and is perfect for a vacationing family or a romantic getaway. At the Green Heron Inn, you are just steps away from a scenic stretch or rock-line coast with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and the arch of Maine's southern coastline. The inn is also less than a mile away from Kennebunkport's quaint Dock Square with its abundance of distinctive shops, fine restaurants, and galleries. The Green Heron Inn is also famous for its sumptuous breakfast, with unforgettable creations such as malted waffle with fresh berries and white chocolate shavings, or crab benedict with scallion and dill hollandaise sauce.

We have stayed at the Green Heron Inn before, and they have never disappointed. Our room was clean, comfortable, and homey. The breakfasts which are one of the highlights of our trips to Kennebunkport were fantastic. Tony is a wonderful chef, and we always indulge in whatever he has prepared for the day (which includes all of the fresh baked goods throughout the day). Dan's service/hospitality is also outstanding. He is friendly and informative, and makes us feel at home. We love the Green Heron Inn and would recommend it to anyone. We certainly will be back.

We have been coming to the Green Heron for many years including when the prior owners had it. Dan and Tony have continued the outstanding cleanliness and hospitality we have come to expect. Breakfast has improved since they first took over and now includes a great selection including two daily specials as well as all the traditional options.
Love the Green Heron

Our third stay with Dan and Tony. We love the Green Heron. The rooms are small but tidy, the amenities are above reproach, and breakfast is a high-flying adventure. And you can walk to town!

We have been visiting the Green Heron for quite a number of years. Each visit never fails to amaze!! The innkeepers, Dan and Tony, are superb and immediately make every effort to make the visit perfect. Breakfasts can only be described as outstanding. We look forward to many more trips. And my bottom line is that if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful and thoroughly enjoyable getaway then the Green Heron has to be your choice.
