Circa 1753. Gracing the popular ocean community, this historic four-season inn is a welcoming place to stay. The 252-year-old keeping room with hand-hewn oak timbers exudes an inviting ambiance. Play chess or watch cable TV in the parlor by the fire. Complimentary snacks and drinks are provided. King pumpkin pine plank floors, original folk art paintings, sculpture, antiques and handmade quilts highlight the distinctive guest bedrooms that offer garden, meadow and forest views. Sleep in a brass, cast iron or sleigh bed. The Waldo Room is perfect for families. A bountiful three-course breakfast with a changing menu is served on the massive oak table in the fireside breakfast room. Browse the Mainely Quilts and Gift Shop in the adjacent carriage house.

Historic Interest

Waldo Emerson Inn is a Colonial style inn listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Inn is the oldest remaining house in Kennebunk and has had several famous owners. The original Dutch gambrel was constructed by one Waldo Emerson in 1753. Waldo, great-uncle of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the poet/essayist, made a tidy profit building clipper ships on the river behind the house. It was inherited through marriage by Theodore Lyman, who made a fortune building ships on the site and added the enormous addition in 1784 as a wedding gift for his second wife.
