Waldo Emerson Inn Bed and Breakfast

Waldo Emerson Inn a Romantic Bed and Breakfast
Waldo Emerson Inn is a colonial style inn listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A restored shipbuilders manse located next to the Kennebunk river with all the latest amenities including working fireplaces for a relaxing romantic getaway. Let us pamper you with our terrific Dutch breakfast and afternoon tea in the Inn's historic parlor or in the shade of our large oak trees.

Spring is in the air
The Waldo Emerson is truly a four-season inn. In spring, the inn and the town are abloom with tulips and daffodils. The air is brisk, the shops and restaurants are open, and the crowds are light. In summer, flowers abound in the inn's gardens. We are just moments from the beach with parking permits and chairs provided. There are dozens of excellent restaurants nearby. In autumn, the Kennebunks put on a spectacular show of fall colors followed by lots of winter activities nearby. Enjoy a mug of fresh-pressed apple cider beside a roaring fire in the parlor

The breakfast room is unchanged since it was built the year that George Washington was inaugurated, with a handsome fireplace used every morning. Signatures in the windowpanes were scratched with diamond rings by inhabitants between 1800 and 1850.
