The Seaside Inn (formerly the Seaside Inn & Cottages) is an Inn in Kennebunk, Maine which has been in continuous operation under the same family since 1667, making it one of the oldest companies in the United States.

History

John Gooch, the first settler in the Cape Neddick area, arrived in the area 1637.[1] At some point, he established the Inn, and, by 1667, he was commissioned by Ferdinando Gorges, an agent of King Charles II, to "reside on the ocean-front peninsula at the mouth of the Kennebunk River and ferry travellers across the River."[2][3][4] The inn has been in continuous operation by the Gooch family since its inception. In 2018, it remained owned by John Gooch's twelfth-generation descendants.[2][3][5]

Literature

The early Gooch family history was chronicled in the 1929 novel Arundel by American author Kenneth Roberts.[4][1][6] Additionally, current owner Trish Mason has written a work of non-fiction entitled The Seaside House: Maine Innkeepers which tells the complete history of the family and running of the inn.[1][6]

Awards

The inn was recognized by New England's Yankee Magazine as the Maine lodging with the "Best Family Ties" in 2009.[7]
