Introducing the First Annual

A KINDRED CHRISTMAS

December 18 - 21, 2025

“Our stay (at the Kenwood Inn) exceeded expectations in every way. The location was perfect—conveniently situated close to all the main attractions, yet peaceful enough to relax and unwind at the end of the day. We were able to walk to great restaurants, shops, and local sights without ever needing to drive, which made the experience even more enjoyable...

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely return. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!”
