Bed and Breakfast Description

Waldo Emerson Inn is a wonderful recollection of the past. You enter directly into the 252-year-old Keeping Room with its hand-hewn oak timbers hung with dried flowers, pewter, and copper. The Inn offers four romantic guestrooms each with handmade quilts, antiques, working fireplaces and private baths.

The guests' parlor is a spacious, comfortable room with sofas and wing chairs. You're welcome to kick back and relax with a good book in front of the fire, watch cable TV, or enjoy a game of chess. Complimentary coffee, tea, soft drinks, and snacks are available.

The breakfast room is unchanged since it was built the year that George Washington was inaugurated, with a handsome fireplace used every morning during the autumn and winter months. The signatures in the windowpanes were scratched with diamond rings by many of the inhabitants who lived here between 1800 and 1850. A massive oak table seats all of our guests for a bountiful three-course breakfast served between 8:30 and 9:30 each morning with the menu changing daily.

During your stay, please stop by Mainely Quilts and Gift Shop located in the carriage house where you'll likely find the latest local creations. Heirloom quality quilts and wall hangings, often taking hundreds of hours to create, grace homes all over the world.

Area Attractions and Activities:

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 color followed by lots of winter activities nearby. Enjoy a mug of fresh-pressed apple cider beside a roaring fire in the parlor.
