Holiday Magic by Nathan Turner at White Barn Inn

This holiday season, White Barn Inn, Auberge Resorts Collection in Kennebunk, Maine, is set to become even more enchanting, thanks to renowned interior designer Nathan Turner. Known for his Americana-inspired aesthetic and penchant for blending rustic elements with refined touches, Turner has transformed the beloved coastal landmark into a winter wonderland filled with warmth, elegance, and holiday cheer. 

With Turner’s exquisite décor and the inn’s charming coastal setting, White Barn Inn, Auberge Resorts Collection, is the ultimate destination for a magical holiday escape.

A Signature Touch of Americana & Timeless Craftsmanship

Turner’s design philosophy, deeply rooted in his California heritage, is perfectly suited for White Barn Inn. Drawing inspiration from his upbringing on a Sierra Nevada cattle ranch, he brings a classic American touch to the inn’s décor while honoring its New England charm. Turner’s approach seamlessly combines traditional holiday elements with a modern twist, creating a space that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

“White Barn Inn is as classic American as it gets,” says Turner. “My goal was to make it festive while staying true to its simplistic beauty.”

Turner opted for old-fashioned materials such as satin ribbons and velvet garlands, alongside an abundance of candles and natural greenery. Scandinavian influences pair with Turner’s custom-designed print on stockings and table linens, complete in a custom-created shade of blue to match the property’s iconic walls.

In addition to the stunning décor, guests can also bring home a piece of the White Barn Inn’s festive magic by purchasing Turner’s custom-designed Christmas stockings on-site. For those looking to add a touch of luxury to their holiday celebrations, custom ornaments will also be provided as a special amenity during their stay.

Designed by Turner, this exclusive dining experience accommodates up to 14 guests and features specially-curated tablescapes along with a one-of-a-kind menu selected by Executive Chef Mary Dumont featuring the freshest, in-season ingredients.
