I have been going regularly with my kids for the last decade. This was our second stay at the Waldo Emerson Inn.

We stayed in the Carriage House on this property. Amelia was extremely helpful and gave us a tour of the main house along with the history. They even gave us parking passes for the beach, which costs $25.00 per day. We will definitely be returning. ##### Marcie K.

Emerson Cottage proved to be ideal. We loved exploring the area beaches, towns and dining, but maybe most enjoyed sitting on the property patio playing cards with the kids. Thank you Ron and Amelia for making us feel so welcome in your charming inn. (PS - Highly recommend packing a copy of "Nature and Selected Essays" by Ralph Waldo himself to read during your stay.) ##### Jennifer V.

The beds are comfortable. The kitchen does not have a stove, but there is a coffee maker and microwave as well as refrigerators. The location is 5 minutes from beach and Kennebunk. Inn owners are friendly and very helpful. Would definitely come back. ##### Cheryl H.
