The Lodge on the Cove

A Vibrant & Spirited Seasonal Getaway

Whether vacationing with the family in the summer or escaping with your other half in the fall, The Lodge on The Cove invites you to unwind in this laid-back home away from home. From the cozy corners that inspire cherished moments to the lively spaces that spark play, our cove is a Maine getaway so comfortable that you may never want to leave. Our friendly team is ready to make your stay at our classic motor lodge as warm as the coastal sun.

Bring the Pooch!

A vacation isn’t the same without Fido—that’s why we warmly open our doors to four-legged guests! From special rooms set aside for your pooch to a complimentary welcome bag, your doggie is sure to have a paw-fect getaway. We’ve also partnered with West Kennebunk’s Animal Welfare Society to donate a portion of the nightly fee to local furry friends in need.
