Interior stylist and host extraordinaire Krista Stokes devotes a chair in the corner of her guest room to what she calls “Concierge Services”: a suitcase containing an assortment of sundries and toiletries, maps, and anything else a guest would need, including a book celebrating Kennebunkport’s 350-year history. The suitcase was her grandmother’s—part of a set. “She had it my entire life,” says Stokes. “It was the only thing I asked for when she passed.”
