About Us
Deb moved from the fast paced city life of Boston to pursue her nursing career in ski country, North Conway NH. There she met John, a NH native working in sporting goods (mainly skiing and tennis) and their story began. Living in a touristy area they often romanticized about running an inn. They frequented Kennebunkport, visiting John’s sister Deanie and stayed most often at (you guessed it) The Cape Porpoise Motel. Preparing for an empty nest from three grown children a new adventure presented itself in 2007 and they purchased the Cape Porpoise Motel .
Fast forward to 2026: After 19 incredible years of serving guests and family and guests who have become like family (you know who you are) we have decided to it’s time for us to retire from hospitality. The decision is bittersweet as we have forged many friendships, near and far. Perhaps we now will visit you where you live! We look forward to spending time with family, friends and each other.
As for The Cape Porpoise Motel, we are selling the business and property to a (younger than us) couple who are quite familiar with Cape Porpoise and very much wish to continue running the motel. We are all in store for a newer fresher vibe as they bring their own style and personalities to local hospitality.
Stay tuned …….
