The Lark Hotels company continues its New England expansion with a unique takeover and redo of four historic properties in Kennebunkport, Maine.
The Massachusetts-based hospitality company has been taking over classic, vintage, and historic properties throughout New England, and overhauling them into playful, updated boutique hotels, with fresh interiors, modern technology, and an intimate staff. Founded in 2012, the company now includes 25 properties throughout New England. (It also has one in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and another in Carmel, Calif.)
This summer the company will come full circle, unveiling an interesting rollout, opening four historic properties in Kennebunkport as a single collection.

A house in Kennebunkport fell into his hands when its owner wanted to swap for a Massachusetts condo Harrington was renovating. The developer and his family started using the house and promptly fell in love with the coastal town, where he took on additional projects.
In 2005, he bought a run-down property called Cottages at Cabot Cove, not far from an assortment of marinas on Kennebunk River. In keeping with the creative flair that drives his endeavors, Harrington hired interior designers to individually decorate each cottage. The opening, a design showcase and fundraiser, drew 5,000 people in 10 days.

The properties, owned by Newburyport, Mass.-based Lark Hotels, comprise the William Jefferds House, James Fairfield House, Nathaniel Lord Mansion and Acton Patterson House.
The structures date back to the early-19th century and were built by sea captains, all of whom were part of the Walker family, one of the first families to settle in the area.
After passing through generations of seafaring families, all four houses eventually transitioned to small boutique inns.
