This is an old house converted to a B&B type Inn. It is quaint and charming - filled with east coast decor. The rooms are very comfortable, albeit small. The beds were comfy and the the space was very clean. We stayed 2 nights. Breakfast was great and served at communal tables in the dinner room. If you have mobility or accessibility needs, I recommend you share before booking. Connie, the Innkeeper is warm, inviting and very accommodating. The location is great - very walkable to the village for shopping and restos. We would not hesitate to book again.

This is a quintessential 19th century historical B&B. It was just what we wanted for our daughter-in-law’s first visit to Maine. Our hosts were very accommodating, and our breakfast of wild Maine blueberry French toast with maple syrup was delicious.

We were shocked at the prices for hotels in Portland (in my opinion a way, overrated town) so we stayed here primarily because of price. But it's a nice gem worth considering. Room was comfortable. Breakfast nice. Host welcoming. And walking distance to the Freeport outlets and across from that now-famous McDonald's located in a historic house. Definitely eat at the Jameson Tavern (walking). One of the best burgers we've had, great fries too. (If you are tired of lobster and high prices).

This is a historic bed and breakfast in a lovely residential area only a block from the business district in Freeport. The host, Connie, was very pleasant and accommodating. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! I was here 2 nights in different rooms, one upstairs, one downstairs. Both were very comfortable, clean, and quiet. I would also say the value far exceeded what you could get at any hotel. I was very pleased to stay here.

Do not pass on this gem. I had a great, relaxing, enjoyable visit. Connie is a luv. She is so personable and will make sure you are happy. The room was beautiful and I don’t think I have ever slept in a more comfortable bed. Breakfast was hot and delicious. I will absolutely be back. Thank you, Connie.
