Exclusive Inn Rentals for Your Next Celebration

Exterior of Water Street Inn

The days are getting longer, crocuses are in bloom and spring is upon us! It’s a beautiful time to not only visit the Seacoast, but to plan for a wonderful gathering during the upcoming glorious summer or fall days. Do you have a special anniversary coming up? A milestone birthday? Is your book club or neighborhood group in need of a getaway? Consider booking one or more of our properties!

Renting an entire small private inn makes your event a delight for all involved. Guests rave about the experience of having an entire property at their disposal for a weekend. They enjoy the privacy and the ability to meet together in the common areas, without worrying about disturbing other visitors. Once can take advantage of a seamless experience going from events, out to meals, and then relaxing in your home away from home. And at our three properties, you can often leave your cars in our parking lots and either walk or carpool to all that Portsmouth and/or Kittery Foreside have to offer. 

When you call to reserve an exclusive buy-out of one of our small boutique hotels, our staff will help you to customize your experience with us. We can order flowers, sweets and other add-ons to have a weekend to remember for everyone. Additionally, we can help to determine which one of our beautifully appointed rooms with luxury linens will best suit each of your guests’ preferences. 

At the Water Street Inn, for instance, you can easily book multiple rooms, with up to 9 beds located within the 8 rooms. It’s within walking distance to the lovely Kittery Foreside neighborhood, where you can eat, drink and shop till you drop! So many options during the day, while you enjoy the comforts of home with friends and family!

A short stroll over the bridge (and you can even stop for barbecue along the way!) and you are in Portsmouth. Nearby you will find our sister property, The Sailmaker’s House, another charming boutique hotel which is similarly appointed with luxury linens and elegant rooms. There are 10 rooms to choose from, and again, you can book the whole inn for a wedding party or special occasion. We are well-located to all of the shops and restaurants that downtown Portsmouth has to offer, as well as close to Strawbery Banke, Prescott Park and other historic venues.

Walking through Market Square in the downtown area near the Music Hall, Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club and the Portsmouth Historical Society, you will find our third property, Hotel Thaxter. Here there are 15 rooms as well as our in-house restaurant, Nichinan, named for Portsmouth’s sister city in Japan. We are around the corner from Jumpin’ Jays, a delicious seafood restaurant, as well as the aforementioned arts venues and many shops. It is effortless to have a wonderful time here!

As you look at your calendar and take note of special friend and family celebrations coming up, remember to call us to inquire about an exclusive booking at one of our inns. Your guests will never forget the wonderful time they will have had. Contact us today and book your stay!
