Lovely inn and innkeepers, Amelia and Ron were the best! Great breakfast every morning. Clean rooms, parking on the premises and less than a 10 minute drive to Dock street. Very comfortable.

Our stay here was beyond our expectations! We were greeted in the morning with coffee and a 2-course breakfast. Amelia and her staff are so personable and told us the history of the house over breakfast which was amazing to hear. Our room was beautifully decorated and cozy. We will definitely be staying again when we come back!

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.

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.

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.

The Waldo Emerson Inn is a fascinating look at history, dating from the mid-1700s. Our room was lovely, the host was wonderfully friendly and helpful during our stay, and the breakfasts were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the company.

We decided on a last minute trip to see family that was staying in Kennebunkport and were so lucky to see that a room was open at the Waldo Emerson Inn. Hana 1 and Hana 2 were amazing hostesses during our entire stay. I have dietary restrictions and they were so thoughtful to make sure I had plenty for breakfast, including GF french toast - they even made me some GF cookies one night! The inn is beautiful, quaint, and homey. The beds are comfortable and the Comphy sheets are luxuriously soft. We cannot wait for our next trip to Maine - we will most definitely be staying there again!
