James Place Inn Rating: 3.5 Pearls

Freeport, Maine, United States

Dining Room

Quaint and quiet, James Place Inn is a relaxing place to get away for a weekend or longer vacation. Open year-round, the inn offers close proximity to the beaches in the summer, the mountains in the winter, and and shopping in Freeport all year long.

There are only seven guest rooms here, and that means that the inn will never be crowded. There is one common room here, as well as the porch during warmer weather. Breakfast is the most bustling time of day, as the dining room fills with guests looking forward to homemade pancakes, granola, scones, and more.

The inn also has a romantic side, especially in the rooms that offer soaking tubs or fireplaces.
