Great Historic Inn in Kennebunk, ME
Posted 9 Jan 2024 on HotelsMy 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.

Innkeepers Amelia and Ron and their assistant Michael couldn't have been nicer and more attentive and accommodating. It was the most pleasant experience we had the whole time in Maine. The food was delicious, thoughtful and plentiful. We can't wait to go back to this inn!

The hosts Amelia and Ron were exceptional - very warm, friendly and welcoming. They ensured there was everything one would need to make your stay comfortable. The Waldo Emerson B&B was exquisite and quaint. Each morning we were served a hot breakfast which was plated and customized to whatever your dietary needs are. Very thoughtful touches and consideration from the hosts. We would most definitely stay there again.

An amazing property with an amazing host and staff! Convenient to downtown shopping & restaurants, and also wonderful to return to nice and quiet surroundings. Easy access to the beach, highways to do some sight-seeing. Breakfast was AMAZING every day! The room was very comfy and plenty of room to move around. Great spot for dog owners...our Tucker loved it!

Room was small and the shower was very small. Breakfast was good and the owner was very pleasant and friendly, but there was no room services, reason Covid-19. Stayed July 2021.

Thank you for staying with us. The house is 268 years old which limits the size of the rooms and bath rooms. Due to COVID 19 we are not doing daily housekeeping once a guest checks for the safety of both guests and staff. We do refresh towels daily and remove trash per guest request.

The owners were extremely kind, attentive and informative. The breakfasts were wonderful. Our room was nice, clean and comfortable. It faced a relatively busy road and was noisy in the early am. We are very early risers so weren’t too disturbed but late risers may want to book a room in the back section of the inn. Very nice place with interesting history and close drive to Kennebunkport.

Thank you very much for your lovely comments about our inn. The house is 266 years old with original windows so the rooms facing the road do tend to get a little noisy. We provide white noise machines and Amazon Echos in each room to help reduce the noise for light sleepers. We look forward to seeing you again.
