Built in 1851 by Captain James B. Perkins, the Inn offers a park-like setting with vintage barn, easy parking, picnic area, large peaceful en-suites, and a gated in ground swimming pool. Among other things, guests enjoy a three-course breakfast served each morning on beautiful Blue Willow China, free wireless internet, easy access to town, shopping and beach. But the best part about The Kennebec Inn is its welcoming feel and the owner's attention to detail. Relax...You're at the Kennebec Inn.

What a lovely, immaculately clean, well appointed Inn! From the moment we arrived until our departure (and return to pick up a jacket left behind, THANK YOU Rachel!) it was a wonderful time in Bath. Breakfast was delicious and the conversation with other guests was wonderful. Rachel made our stay relaxing and fun and went above and beyond to be sure we had everything we needed. We got to know Bath, Boothbay Harbor and Popham Beach. We will recommend this beautiful Inn to all our friends and family and can’t wait to return!

The innkeepers have meticulously renovated and maintained this lovely home. Also, Rebecca is a masterful cook (with luck you'll get Maine wild blueberry pancakes during your stay as I did...delish!) and delightful & informative hostess.

Kennebec Inn and hostess Rachel Parlin are what a Maine vacation's all about! The Inn is immaculately clean as well as fully welcoming. The decor is historic but not overstated. Quiet relaxation seems to be a primary theme of the Inn: even if the weather's inclement you could spend most of the day reading & relaxing in your room, or in the front parlor where there's a large selection of books relevant to the region. The beds & mattresses are solid, guaranteed to provide a full-night's sleep. The bathrooms & showers are immaculate. In the morning, you may be awakened by aromas of a wonderful French Canadian breakfast & coffee being prepared by Rachel. In the afternoon, upon return to your room, you'll find awesome homemade chocolate chip/ walnut cookies awaiting!…

Passing through Bath, needed a place to stay, this great B&B showed up in my search...so glad it did. Rachel was waiting for me with a warm welcome, bottled water and a huge choc chip cookie. She made me feel right at home, showing me around and giving me tips for food and drink and assuring me of the safety of the town. Remington Room was perfect, breakfast was delicious and more than one could eat. Fresh fruit, pastry, the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten, sausage, coffee and all at a beautifully set table. Just a quick pass-through this trip, but I would definitely go back!

This is one of the best B&B we have stayed. The rooms are well decorated, extra- clean and 9, with all you need and more. Mattress beyond comfortable, toiletries and great linens. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, home made granola, yoghurt, mint from the owner’s garden. Pool at the garden , also extra-clean. We truly recommend this place. Owner have is great advice about surrounding area and was great and helpful!

Bath, ME bills itself as "Maine's Cool Little City," and it does not disappoint. There are many interesting things to see and do--and great places to eat--in this village and the surrounding area. My night at the Kennebec Inn was flawless: welcome chocolate chip walnut cookies; charming renovated inn; big, comfortable bedroom with great light on 3 sides, excellent brakfast and conversation with the innkeeper, Rachel Poston. My only regret was that it was a one-night stay!

Thank you for all the compliments. I can assure you, it was equally great having you stay with us at the inn. Hopefully you'll visit with us again and stay longer, so I can point out some other near by places to explore. Thank You, Rachel

Comfortable room; friendly host; excellent breakfast. We enjoyed our stay at this inn. The town is interesting and we were walking distance from the main shopping area. God restaurant choices are also available in Bath.

We traveled for 3 weeks in New England this summer and stayed at 5 different B&Bs. Kennebec Inn was head and shoulders above the others we visited. Rachel made a warm, welcoming, informative innkeeper and her rooms were very clean, airy, and comfortable. Clearly she loves baking too, because her breakfasts and afternoon cookies were scrumptious. The location was convenient to town, and Rachel made a number of suggestions to enhance our experience in the Bath and Boothbay areas. She gets an A+ in my book and you will not regret a visit with her!

My husband, son and I were in Maine for a wedding and had a very nice 2 night stay at the Kennebec Inn. Rachel was very welcoming upon our arrival, showing us to our room - the Captain Perkins Room - and giving us our best restaurant options for dinner. We really liked our room - it was spacious, clean, nicely decorated and had a tv with ample channel selections. The beds were a bit high (I'm short!) but comfortable, with crisp white sheets and bright white, like-new, cotton quilts. The bathroom was immaculate - I've never seen a cleaner one in all the rooms I've ever stayed - right down to the floor and baseboards and even the shower mat! Breakfast is served between 8 & 9 in the dining room - which has 2 large dining tables. We very much enjoyed our morning conversations…
