Bufflehead Cove (formally Bufflehead Cove Inn) is hidden away in the woods on the Kennebunkport tidal river, overlooking downtown Kennebunkport. Situated just one mile from Kennebunkport village, this house is close enough to all the activities the area has to offer, yet secluded enough to offer peace and privacy. Bufflehead has four lovely bedrooms. Each room is complete with either a king or queen size bed and private bathrooms. Three of the rooms include whirlpool tubs and all but one room has a working gas fireplace. As a guest at our beautiful home, you can surround yourself with complete privacy, or journey into the quaint historic town of Kennebunkport….the choice is yours. It was built in the late 1800s by local boat builders. The downstairs floor is first cut maple and many of the very large windows have the original wavy glass. This classic shingle style cottage is filled with local history and hidden charm. Don’t forget to ask at check in about the phantom candles! The property is half a mile down a quiet gravel lane in Lower Village, Kennebunk., just around the corner from Kennebunkport village. It is located on the tidal Kennebunk River. Five acres of field and woods surround the property and yet the house is only one mile from Kennebunkport center and two miles to the beaches. The view downriver is of the village of Kennebunkport and upriver to the Arundel Golf course. Four bedrooms offer private baths, whirlpool tubs, gas fireplaces, and lots of privacy. There is a large downstairs living room with a wood fireplace, comfy window seats, and views from all the windows of the tidal river. A dining room extends from the living room and can seat 8 guests. The property has a full kitchen with a gas stove and four ovens. The kitchen is being fully renovated this winter ( 2021) as it was an inn kitchen for 35 years, and though it functioned well, it needs some updating. We will be posting new photos once the work is done. There is a laundry room off the kitchen which has two dryers and two washing machines. We provide laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Enjoy watching the tide rise and fall from our front porch. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - Near the sea - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, table tennis, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108880000/108873400/108873352/1689c6b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bufflehead Hideaway - Stroll to Shops and Dining Kennebunk - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=108873352&PinnedHotelID=108873352&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18980000/18973800/18973734/5903c8e0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spectacular Oceanfront Beach House on Gooch's Beach Kennebunk - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 143 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=18973734&PinnedHotelID=18973734&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100050000/100040900/100040827/029c66bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### River view home within walking distance of the beach - bikes, grill, and yard Kennebunk - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 8.8 Excellent 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=100040827&PinnedHotelID=100040827&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115500000/115493800/115493753/9d3ea82f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Riverfront Six Bedroom Home, fully-equipped for a memorable stay!
