About the Hotel
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.
