ワルド エマーソン イン(Waldo Emerson Inn)

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.
