Arrived only to find that our room had been double booked and given to someone else. We had chosen this place very carefully and made reservations over a month in advance, so we were dumbfounded. The man who owns the inn called around and finally found another place for us after making 3 or 4 calls. He was very apologetic... more

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

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

Having been there many times over the years, I found the Waldo Emerson Inn property online while looking through the chamber of commerce website.
