Amelia and Ron have created a beautiful and homey atmosphere that welcomed us into a comfortable retreat from the ordinary to the exceptional. The king bed was so great and the bathroom spotless. The smell of breakfast drew us downstairs for delightful conversation and well appointed dining delights. 10 stars all around. Best host and hostess ever.

Loved our stay at Waldo Emerson. Our host Amelia was so lovely to chat with. The breakfast was AMAZING and the bed was so comfy we slept the best we had our whole trip. We loved the cute and thoughtful decor, and the history (the oldest home in Kennebunk!) The water pressure was fantastic and it was easy to find and park. The attention to detail was so appreciated including the most interesting presentation of the toilet paper roll. You'll have to see it to know what I mean.

It was a comfortable room. I slept like a log both nights, and we had two good breakfasts to start the day. The bacon at breakfast was perfect, and my wife even asked how it was prepared. The coffee was a tad weak for my taste, and I realize you can't have everything. The staff was friendly and engaging. The owner hates messy floors, and I do as well.

Lovely inn and innkeepers, Amelia and Ron were the best! Great breakfast every morning. Clean rooms, parking on the premises and less than a 10 minute drive to Dock street. Very comfortable.

Wonderful! Our stay here was beyond our expectations! We were greeted in the morning with coffee and a 2-course breakfast. Amelia and her staff are so personable and told us the history of the house over breakfast which was amazing to hear. Our room was beautifully decorated and cozy. We will definitely be staying again when we come back!
