Maine Stay Inn ~ An Insider's Guide to Kennebunkport

Horse-drawn wagon and sleigh rides continue through the winter months here in Kennebunkport.

These wonderful rides are considered by many as a romantic activity as you and your best girl meander through Kennebunkport's Historic District or, ride through the woods imagining what life was like back in a simpler time.

A horse-drawn wagon ride is a fantastic family activity as well. The novelty of the ride, the history shared by Vince, the owner of Rockin' Horse Stables and especially the opportunity to meet the stable of horses will make memories that will span generations.

After your ride, gather around the fireplace in the barn (it's a pretty nice barn) and enjoy a huge mug of Rockin' Horse Stables hot chocolate. The fireplace will warm you on the outside and the hot chocolate and wonderful memories will take care of the rest.

Let us know when you make your reservation at The Maine Stay Inn that you would like to arrange a ride. We'll take care of the rest.

And one other thing, if we get some snow, the sleigh rides are awesome.

After our first snow of the season today, it seemed appropriate to write about one of Kennebunk's first events of the Christmas season.

This Sunday, November 25th, the annual Christmas in Kennebunk is an event not to be missed.

Downtown merchants will offer shoppers extended hours to provide the opportunity to get a head start on your holiday shopping.

Enjoy lunch at one of the downtown restaurants then, later that evening, make your way down Main Street to Rotary Park.

The 24th annual lighting of the Becker Memorial Tree will feature new lighting courtesy of KLPD. The new LED lights are the latest in an effort by the Town to continue to take care of our environment.

Don't miss this warm holiday tradition.
