The Maine Stay Inn and Cottages Supports ‘Hospitality for Habitat’ with Deeply Discounted Rates for Visiting Guests
Maine Stay Inn Teams up with Maine Innkeeper Association program to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity
Kennebunkport, ME – February 2010 – Kennebunkport’s Maine Stay Inn will offer guests 50% off weekend room rates Monday through Thursday between April 26th through May 28th 2010 in support of ‘Hospitality for Habitat’, a Maine Innkeepers Association program, originally designed to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity projects in Maine. This year, after the devastating earth quake in Haiti, part of the funds raised will also be distributed to help support Habitat for Humanity projects in Haiti.
Visitors to the Maine Stay Inn and Cottages will receive the deeply discounted room rates in exchange for a $35 donation check written out to Habitat for Humanity.
“With today’s challenging economy we are delighted to offer guests the opportunity to experience a wonderful Maine getaway at half the regular room rate,” said Judith Hauer, owner/innkeeper of the Maine Stay. We appreciate
this opportunity to partner with our guests in support of such a worthy cause.”
The Maine Stay Inn will join participating members of The Maine Innkeepers Association all across the state to help build homes for deserving families. In 2009 Hospitality for Habitat raised over $16,000 for Habitat for Humanity, and the Association has raised over $30,000 since the program began in 2004.
To enjoy a 50% reduction in room rates between April 26th and May 28th 2010, and be part of Hospitality for Habitat, please make reservations in advance and acknowledge your intention to participate. Your tax deductible donation for $35 should be made out to Habitat for Humanity in the form of a check and given to the innkeeper.

to great cultural opportunities and more great dining (always my primary concern!), and of course, just 40 miles to famed Freeport – the home of L.L. Bean. I just can’t fathom what isn’t to like about Kennebunkport. I mean, I may be biased, but still. Really, though, you can reach Kennebunkport incredibly easily and even without a car. Once you are here, you don’t actually need a car – great sandy beaches are only about a mile away and excellent restaurants and activities are just a short stroll from the inn. The outdoor opportunities are innumerable – and incredible. And did I mention the food?
