My husband and I stayed at the Five Gables Inn for two days in October this year and we thought it was heaven on earth. We stayed in room 15, one of the smaller rooms in the gables with a beautiful painted mural on the walls, and my favourite part was the window seat overlooking the water. Mike and De... More

Mike and De Kennedy have created an inn of cozy warmth and hospitality where the answer is Always "Yes". This is our favorite Inn in all of New England. When we enter an inn, we can Tell if the owners have just a business or are indeed "people lovers". We have returned each autumn since Mike and De have owned... More

E. Boothbay isn't off the beaten path, it's WAY off of it! But what a delightful location, and Five Gables is a wonderful place to stay while enjoying it. The rooms are for sleeping and bathing, period. Very small. But the house provides all its guests with a cozy living room experience. The porch is absolutely fabulous. A great place... More

After you're welcomed as an old friend, unpacked in one of the uniquely and artfully designed rooms, relaxed on the porch, perused the book collection, admired De's wonderful artwork on tables, walls and fireplace, taken in the view of the bay and caught up with Mike and De adventures and had a good night's rest...now you're ready for one of...

We stay at the Five Gables every year because we know Mike and De are going to do everything within their power to make sure we have a great stay. It's hard to find things to say that aren't just a rehashing of the positive reviews by other guests, but the incredibly delicious breakfasts, the views of Linekin Bay from... More

If you have any problem or need Mike goes the extra mile to be helpful. My parents have traveled with us the last 3 years and this year my Dad was recovering... More

We've been going to this inn for about 5 years, same week each September, bringing my in-laws with us. Mike and Dee are as gracious as can be, Mike's breakfasts are a highlight of our Maine trip (which includes a run up to Southwest Harbor and Acadia for a few days), and the Inn is welcoming, peaceful, restful. You couldn't... More

We were fortunate enough to stay here for a couple of days and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Mike and De are wonderful people and the breakfasts were out of this world. They were so helpful with where to go and what to do and every one of their recommendations were fantastic. There is a little dock right across the street and... More

We travelled as a group of 4 adults to the Five Gables Inn. It was just perfect. We loved the tranquility of the Inn and the surrounding areas. De & Mike were great hosts. Breakfast on the porch was a highlight for us. Will go to this Inn again! More
