Waldo Emerson Inn

Great Historic Inn in Kennebunk, ME My wife and I had a delightful time at the historic Waldo Emerson Inn. The back half was built in 1753 and the front half in the 1780, yet this historic home had all the conveniences of the modern world: snug windows, heated bathroom floor, and easy to control heatng. The B&B was originally the home of the great-uncle of Ralph Waldo Emerson. One of our favorite times were breakfast. Amelia, our hostess, is a great cook and so much fun to be around. While we stayed 11 days, the variety of breakfasts never ceased. We would gladly stay there again. In fact, we are looking forward to it.

Comfy beds, wonderful host Amelia, great breakfast! The attention to detail was superior. Fantastic B&B will absolutely go back!

The inn was charming and very comfortable. Owners were out of town and we were disappointed in the quality of food. Warm cookies in afternoon were thoughtful but appeared to be grocery store slice and bake. Breakfast both days was abysmal. Avocado toast on hard (perhaps stale) bread one day and barely warm pancakes second day. After visiting 4 different b & b's while in Maine, this place was a let down especially for the fee they charged.

This wonderful inn was such a pleasant surprise. It is located on a beautiful piece of property right off the road in Kennebunk, which is just down the road from Kennebunkport…two wonderful must-see Maine towns. I best describe the Waldo Emerson Inn as charming, welcoming, comfortable, and clean. Our room (“Bourne”) had a queen bed and was beautifully decorated…but not stuffed with antiques like is sometimes found in similar types of inns. Though the bathroom was a bit tight, it was modern and extremely clean. Our room also had a separate window AC unit which kept it nice in cool during an unusually warm evening. From our names written on our room door (in chalk) to the wonderful conversations with the staff, we really appreciated the personal touch provided to the guests. Finally, our delicious (and filling) breakfast (parfait, French toast, bacon, coffee and orange juice) was one of the high points of our short visit. The only unfortunate part of our visit is that we only stayed one night as we had to fly home the following day. We highly recommend the Waldo Emerson Inn and certainly plan to return next time we’re in the area. we were

Great place to relax and wind down. The innkeepers where excellent.

The owners are a great couple. Friendly and enjoyable to visit with. Everything about our stay was first class. Very fun two day stay
