Waldo Emerson Inn - A historic 3-star B&B with gourmet breakfast and garden views
Dating back nearly 300 years, this pet-friendly Kennebunkport hotel features wide-planked pine wood floors from 1784, hand-painted Wedgewood tiles adorning the parlor fireplace, and Indian shutters. The Waldo Emerson Inn combines historical architecture with modern amenities, including SmartTVs, Turkish towels, and air conditioning in all rooms. Each accommodation offers garden views, private bathrooms with free toiletries, and streaming services. A London-trained chef prepares gourmet breakfasts, served in both family-style and plated formats. The property maintains a 24-hour coffee and tea service on the second-floor landing, complemented by rotating sweet and savory snacks. Located 28 miles from Portland International Jetport, the Waldo Emerson Inn positions guests within 2 miles of the Seashore Trolley Museum, Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, and local art galleries.

“Waldo Emerson Inn wins me over with its blend of historic New England charm and thoughtful, modern updates. The location places you perfectly between Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, and I especially appreciate the gourmet, organic breakfasts, sourced in part from their own garden - a touch that speaks to a truly dedicated host. I think this is a standout choice for those seeking a romantic and relaxing coastal getaway.”
