James Place Inn Bed and Breakfast

Wonderful Bed and Breakfast in a lovely town. We enjoyed our stay in Freeport. Bill and Mary Ann run a clean, comfortable in. Breakfast was delicious and the pine room was co cozy. Bill kindly recommended several favorite restaurants and helped us with information on next days travel. Would definitely recommend.

I was thrilled to be supporting my local women’s basketball team (Smith College, Northampton MA) by attending the NCAA Division III Sweet Sixteen/Elite Eight tournament (Smith won both games!) at Bowdoin College in Brunswick ME. It was such a delight finding James Place Inn to stay in Freeport and what a wonderful and warm welcome from the best innkeepers, Bill and Mary Ann! Both Bill and Mary Ann are genuinely caring and really made me feel at home. I stayed in the Pine Room, and enjoyed the coziness of the room and the toasty fireplace. Everything was clean, plenty of water for my water bottle refills, reliable Wi-Fi, and the breakfasts were delicious. I will definitely stay again and would highly recommend JPI to anyone else traveling to Freeport/Brunswick.

Hospitality at its finest! Bill and Mary Ann will spoil you with a delicious breakfast every morning including fresh fruit, yogurt, warm scones, beverages, and a hot main course that changes every day. The Inn is cozy and welcoming and our room was very charming. The bathroom was quite small but larger ones are available. We also enjoyed the Adirondack chairs and a fully stocked firepit in the front yard. And the location is ideal...a quick walk into town for shopping, dining, and free concerts on the lawn at LL Bean! All in all a great experience. Would love to return!

We only stayed at The James Place Inn for one night in August 2024 in Freeport, ME. It is a really nice inn. The Blue Room was very nicely decorated and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. The inn is special also because the owner Bill and Mary Ann Hinko are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Bill volunteered to pick us up, at the LL Bean Paddling Center outside Freeport, at the end of our canoe trip. Mary Ann volunteered to drive us to the Portland airport to pick up a rental car. She would have driven us for nothing, but we insisted on paying because she was saving us money and, as importantly, the inconvenience from having to try to get Uber or Lyft to pick us up. It was iffy if we would have been able to get Uber or Lyft to pick us up in Freeport without great cost and or in a timely manner. The inn is just a few minutes walk from Main Street, restaurants, LL Bean, and the outlet stores. We would have stayed at the inn longer if we had not been driving up to Acadia National Park. This is the place we will want to stay at when we visit Freeport again. Thank you Bill and Mary Ann for being such great hosts and nice to Jean, our friends with us, and me. You have a well deserved, great reputation for your hospitality.

We loved the place. The owner is very accommodating when it comes to an early breakfast or check-in. The room is comfortable and charming, yet with an A/C, which is uncommon in ME. The location is perfect. It's within walking distance from the village, LL Bean, and other local attractions.

First visited the James Place Inn back in 1998 and it was great! Came back 26 years later to another great experience! Bill and Marianne are excellent hosts!!! Their assistant Alexis was great too! They were even able to get us in last minute. Thank you for a great stay!!!
