This is a truly very special place. A warm and friendly welcome was followed by a delightful room and breakfasts. The wonderfully historic house was perfectly furnished to be comfortable and cosy. Attention to detail both in meals and accommodation made our visit magical. John and Kathy were the most hospitable Innkeepers with whom we have stayed. Breakfast was exceptional... more

On a whim, my husband & I decided to drive to Maine and find restful getaway. We stopped at the state highway visitor center, got some names, called a few, and very luckily for us, the Waldo Emerson Inn happened to have a room available that Sunday night. John & Kathy Daamen welcomed us most graciously to the beautiful and... more

We visited Kennebunkport for July 4th and spent two nights there. Kennebunkport is a wonderful little town with cute shops, tasty food, nice beaches, and friendly people. We really enjoyed ourselves and our weekend was topped off with a spectacular fireworks display on the beach. We loved the Waldo Emerson Inn. John and Kathy were terrific hosts - not sure... more

My wife and I really wanted to find a very romantic New England Bed & Breakfast and we truly were fortunate to experience the Waldo Emerson Inn which is in Kennebunk and right down the road from Kennebunkport!

My husband found this B&B for me after I drove to my original destination and decided that it was definitely not the right place for me since I was traveling alone. I was so relieved when I arrived here and saw that it was a gem! I liked it so much that I immediately booked the next night as well.... more

Based on very positive recommendations from friends, my wife and I decided to book a 2 night stay at the Waldo Emerson Inn in Kennebunkport Maine a few years ago. We were so impressed, we booked a 4 night stay this year. As you can imagine 4 nights provides ample opportunity to detect even the slightest deficiency/annoyance, but our only... more

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Kennebunkport on business this past month. Having been there many times over the years, I found the Waldo Emerson Inn property online while looking through the chamber of commerce website. I was so delighted with the great personal service I received from John, the Innkeeper. He arranged Dinner reservations at a wondeful... more

I found both of the innkeepers to be a little overbearing. I was quite shocked after reading some of the other reviews. They were very friendly but you couldn't step out of your room without them grilling you about everything. The husband kept fixing things in our room - while we were there! I was planning a family function in... more
