CLASSICALLY HISTORIC KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE INN

The 1802 House Bed & Breakfast Inn is a historic, independent Kennebunkport, Maine Inn, owned and operated by Carl and Eileen Robley. Originally from England, they moved to the West Coast in 2005 and then to Upstate New York in 2011. You will find the couple's English influences throughout the inn.

The house is of original Colonial design and as the name implies, was built in 1802. Extensions were added over the years, and in the 1990s it was converted into the charming bed and breakfast you see today. 1802 House Bed and Breakfast Inn is now considered one of the town's finest historic inns and best places to stay in Kennebunkport.

About the Innkeepers!

Lars and Julianna Holmdahl are excited to welcome guests to the 1802 House Bed and Breakfast. They believe it is truly a pleasure to host people from all around the world and all walks of life to their business in Kennebunkport, Maine! Lars originally hails from Sweden and is a commercial fisherman as well as innkeeper. Although he has spent many a day catching all kinds of fish, he now specializes in commercial albacore tuna fishing. He is a wonderful baker and enjoys bringing his passion for exceptionally delicious breads and muffins to guests. Julianna speaks five languages and was a college professor for many years teaching Cultural Anthropology. She enjoys making breakfast entrees such as soufflés, frittatas, and crepes. She believes it is truly a pleasure and a privilege to assist so many hardworking and retired people on their vacations to the grand ole state of Maine. She was inspired by her grandparents, James and Mary Acheson, who owned and operated eleven hotels in Maine and New Hampshire, such as the Belgrade Hotel and the Augusta House Hotel. Riding the elevators and watching guests eat in the formal dining room of the Augusta House as a child inspired Julianna to go to into the hospitality business. She puts her Anthropology career and her love for hospitality together to welcome guest from all over the globe and all 50 states!
