Maine Resorts

Rooted here, for generations

For more than a century, The Nonantum has welcomed guests to this bend of the Kennebunk River, where lobster boats pause between trips to sea and days are shaped by sunshine and time outdoors. From our earliest days welcoming travelers to today, the heart of the Nonantum experience has remained the same: genuine hospitality, a strong sense of community, and time well spent together.

Days here are filled with moments both quiet and joyful. From lounging in Adirondack chairs overlooking the water to adventures for all ages and celebrations across our seven acres of waterfront, this is a place where traditions take root and memories are made. That is the Nonantum way, and we can’t wait to welcome you.

Meet Team Nonantum

Steve Sicinski

Executive Chef, Director of Food & Beverage

I’ve spent my career working across the hospitality industry, and today I’m proud to lead the kitchens and food and beverage program at The Nonantum. My work is inspired by the flavors of Maine and the Kennebunkport coast, with a focus on fresh, local ingredients and menus that reflect the season. I enjoy the creativity that comes with each new season, whether I’m designing a wedding menu, planning a special event, or collaborating with my team on something new. Food has a way of bringing people together, and being part of those moments is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Michael Lynch

Director of Business Development

With over 30 years of experience in New England resort hospitality, I lead the sales, marketing, and event efforts at The Nonantum Resort. Drawing from my background at some of the region’s top resorts, I focus on creating thoughtful strategies that enhance the guest experience and drive meaningful results. My ability to connect with guests and understand their needs has been a cornerstone of my career. When I'm not at the resort, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking scenic trails, and perfecting my golf game.

Esther Richards

Activities Director

With over 20 years in the hospitality industry—including time with Sandals/Beaches in the Caribbean—I’ve had the privilege of creating unforgettable experiences for guests of all ages. As the Activities Director for Camp Nonantum, I love bringing that passion to life, designing each season with fresh ideas, exciting adventures, and plenty of hands-on fun.

I truly love the energy and family spirit at The Nonantum and seeing familiar faces return year after year, excited for another season of fun, is the most rewarding part of my job. When I’m not at the resort, I’m at home enjoying quality time with my family, cooking up something delicious, or traveling to explore new places.

Sandra Gendron

Executive Housekeeper

The Nonantum has always felt like family to me—quite literally! My mother worked here when I was young, and one day, when I was a teenager, she called and asked if I could lend a hand in Housekeeping. That simple favor turned into a lifelong career, and now, 43 seasons later, this place still holds a special place in my heart. I love working alongside an incredible team and meeting guests from all over the world, many of whom return year after year. When I’m not at the resort, I cherish time with my own family, especially my two granddaughters—though I don’t get to see them nearly enough!

Colby and Andrew Bracy

The Nonantum family holds a special place for Colby and Andrew. The two first met here as teens, and in 2019, they were married at the resort. The Nonantum is more than just a workplace—it’s an integral part of their story. Colby Marvin Bracy serves as the Director of People and Operations, while Andrew Bracy works in the Dining Room in addition to his full-time career. Outside of their roles at the resort, Colby and Andrew are raising four children through birth and foster care, filling their lives with laughter, love, and plenty of adventure.

Raising People Up

Raising People Up reflects our belief that hospitality is about caring for people, not just serving guests. Through inclusive hiring, mentorship, and ongoing support, we work to create opportunity and provide stability for individuals building meaningful careers and futures. It’s one of the most important ways we care for our team and strengthen our community.

Guided by What Matters

Thoughtful Stewardship

Sustainability at The Nonantum is hands-on and rooted in place. Through our partnership with Blackrock Farm, we steward local land where food is planted, grown, and harvested to support our kitchens, our community, and seasonal gatherings. On property, solar power, electric transportation, and everyday operational choices help reduce our impact. Together, these efforts reflect a long-term commitment to caring for the land and preserving the coastal home we’re proud to share.
