Bufflehead Cove Bed and Breakfast

idden away in the woods, on a bank of the Tidal Kennebunk River, Bufflehead Cove Inn offers the tranquility of a peaceful setting with all of Kennebunkport's attractions a few miles away. "Bufflehead Cove, the rambling cottage --- spacious, homey, old-fashioned --- is decidedly reminiscent of long-ago childhoods spent in the country: a place with a full cookie jar and lots of warmth and friendly chattiness, definitely woe-free and free-spirited, much like its owners, Harriet and Jim Gott." -Country Inns/Bed & Breakfast. Choose from five rooms, each offering a magical ambiance to make your visit a special one to remember.

A typical breakfast might include fresh-squeezed orange juice, ginger-poached pears in an English custard sauce, Jim's famous apple-stuffed French toast and maple-glazed sausage. Jim Gott, Bufflehead Cove Innkeeper and Harriet's husband, manages to successfully juggle two careers: as breakfast chef and lobsterman!

Home-baked muffins or sweet breads, pancakes or eggs with luscious fruit or fragrant flower garnishes will tempt your morning appetites! Fresh brewed coffee and an assortment of teas is always available at 7 am for the earlier risers.

"Named for the diving seabirds which winter here, Bufflehead Cove Inn is located on six private acres at the end of a gravel lane that winds past several small ponds, less than a mile from the center of Kennebunkport. The location on the banks of the Kennebunk River is so peaceful that we could happily stay on the porch or viewing deck reading or looking at the myriad of waterfowl." -The Discerning Traveler

Innkeepers James and Harriet Gott have blended a myriad of magical ingredients: cozy fireplaces, antique filled rooms.... soft music, lush romantic bedrooms and quiet pampering to create the "best kept hideaway in the Kennebunks." Enjoy peaceful afternoons, fragrant fresh flowers and a sunny verandah in the lazy days of summer and two unforgettable nights in August. Let the spicy scent of mulled cider & tart apples mix with the vibrant splash of fall foliage. Cozy up by a crackling fire and celebrate the Prelude Season as well as the return of the Buffleheads!

And return in the spring with the blue herons to see tulips in bloom and listen to the sweet song of the peepers. Add a swish of sweeping water views, the soft lulling rhythm of the ebb and flow of the tides, and a sprinkle of seabirds to the good smells of bountiful breakfasts, and you've got a recipe for the unique vacationing experience.
