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

Lovely, cozy 1700s shipbuilder's home. Fireplaced bedroom and pet friendly. Quaint and charming decor. Scrumptious breakfast and gracious hospitality. February 2024 stay. Looking forward to a return visit in warmer weather. Thank you so much.

We stayed the first weekend of November of 2023: Amelia and Ron are new innkeepers and very nice kind people who place emphasis on their guests and their new thriving business. The most important part of our stay at their lovely hotel is the love and joy Amelia and Ron aspire to make all feel welcome, happy, and comfortable. We wish you the best and hope to see you next summer, many thanks, your friends from the Austrian Alps! Hannah, Christoph & Chester

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at The Waldo Emerson Inn. Ron and Amelia, the owners of the inn, were so warm and welcoming; we enjoyed visiting with them! The homemade breakfasts were delicious! Breakfast was yogurt with granola and fresh blueberries followed by scrambled eggs, bacon and French toast, orange juice and coffee! Our room, Ralph’s Library, was beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable with luxury sheets and pillows. Refreshments, such as coffee, cold drinks, candy, and chocolate chip cookies were always available. If we ever visit Kennebunk again, we will stay here!

I reserved a FULLY REFUNDABLE room for summer 2024 through **********. I cancelled less than one day later, (change of plans), still 9 months before the reservation date. The hotel refunded all but $50 of my payment and refused to refund the rest, despite their advertisement on **********. It took several phone calls and finally a dispute through my credit card to get the final refund, which is still pending. So BEWARE. This inn seems to have deceptive (and illegal) advertising. I will never stay there even if my plans change.

Just spent a lovely couple of nights at this inn. The inn is old New England complete with wooden floors. Our room Kingsbury was beautiful and with a very comfy bed. Owners Amelia and Ron were very welcoming and provide nice touches like complimentary snacks alongside their bar area. Breakfast was great both mornings at the communal table.

This traditional New England house is located close to the many restaurants and amenities in Kennebunkport. We received a warm welcome from Hana. The bedrooms are very comfortable and there is ample seating space in the reception areas to relax. Refreshments and snacks were available at all times and the breakfast was very tasty. We will definitely return if we’re in the area again.

Our stay at the Waldo Emerson Inn was perfect in every way. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the Innkeeper,Amelia. Because we were the only guests of the Inn on our first night, Amelia gave us a tour of the whole historic Inn. Each guest room is unique and beautiful. There is a full coffee and tea station upstairs in the hallway outside of the guest rooms, which we took frequent advantage of. Breakfast each morning was delicious, abundant and thoughtfully prepared. The recommendations for day trips and places to visit and eat were fantastic and the Inn is near several great antique shops and restaurants. The sitting rooms downstairs are lovely and comfortable and we enjoyed a glass of wine from the “honor bar” each night and some fun conversations with Amelia and her charming and funny husband, Rob. The bed and bedding was so comfortable. The whole place was immaculate. We can’t wait to return to the Waldo Emerson Inn!

This is our second visit in this charming and historic inn. It is evident that innkeeper Hana continues to improve this 270 year old property and always surprises with an innovative and delicious breakfast! The beds are wonderfully comfortable and appointed with luxury linens. Hana and the staff are super helpful with restaurant recommendations and suggestions for exploring the area. Small details like fresh flowers in the room and complimentary snacks and beverages are a unique touch. The gardens are lovely with numerous seating areas to enjoy the outdoors as well as a cozy fire pit. Always a memorable stay.
