Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Spent an empty-nesters’ weekend in Freeport with 2 nights at James Place. Not only does it boast an incredibly convenient location (we walked everywhere- much more “local” than the big name hotels), Bill and Marianne are the most gracious of hosts! The Pine room was quiet and homey, Bill was on the spot to refill our split wood supply, and both days’ breakfast couldn’t have been better, or bigger! We had never stayed at a bed and breakfast, and will absolutely return here again! Our hosts were easily accessible but never in the way, and always had excellent recommendations for activities, food, and sights.

Perfect stay. We were looking to shop LLBean & needed a night to sleepover. Of course we could stay at the typical road side hotels, but they can be so commercial & cold. This B&B fit the bill to a tee. Perfect location, walking distance to town for shopping & restaurants. The lodging home itself is clean, crisp sheets, comfy bed & warm blankets for the chilly fall night. We stayed in the blue room, one Queen for my husband and I & one twin for our adult daughter. The breakfast is a must. Home cooked pancakes, fresh fruit, yogurt & homemade granola & scones. Shout out to the owners Bill & Mary! Thank you for hosting :)

If anyone is looking for a quintessential Maine/New England getaway, James Place Inn is the perfect spot. Bill and Mary Ann are two of the nicest people and make you feel right at home. The homemade breakfast prepared each morning is a must have and prepared with quality fresh foods. The inn is perfect walking distance to LL Bean, the Freeport outlets, and restaurant options in the area. Additionally, the Inn has a large driveway with plenty of parking and is located on a quiet side road away from all the shopper traffic. We couldn’t have been any more satisfied with the service at the inn. If you love dogs they also have a beautiful Newfoundland pup named Baldur who you can meet during your stay!

Baldur thanks you very much for your kind words :) It's nice having winter stays because it's slower and we get more opportunity to interact. Stay well and we hope to see you again.

We had a fabulous 2 night getaway at James Place Inn. The location was perfect and accessible to everything. Bill prepared a lovely breakfast for us each morning and he and Mary Ann were very helpful in directing us to shopping, antiquing, and dining destinations. We stayed in the Pine Room and enjoyed a fire in the fireplace each night after our outings. We couldn’t have asked for more.

My second winter stay in a few years. Hosts are AMAZING. Rooms are great (small BnB--only 6 rooms). Both rooms I've stayed in (so far) have had in-room hot tubs for 2 Breakfast is fabulous, and made with any restrictions and favorites in mind. The living areas, dining space, and entire inn are open for all to spread out. Great local recommendations. Downtown Freeport (including LL Bean) is easy walking distance. I'll be back--4 more rooms to enjoy!

We stayed at this lovely Bed & Breakfast for the weekend of a family wedding nearby. The owners were away the weekend we were there, but we had extremely knowledgeable and professional interim innkeepers. The multi-course breakfasts were simply stupendous! We did have a problem with the heating in our first floor room, which the interim innkeepers did everything in their power to resolve. When I mentioned the issue to the owner Mary Ann, she went far beyond anything I could have imagined to make up for the inconvenience! I would highly recommend this beautiful property and would certainly choose to stay again the next time we are in the area!

This inn is conveniently located within walking distance of the shopping areas in Freeport. There is ample parking for guests. The photos on the website are representative of the room that we had. The hosts are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was served in the dining area and was delicious. Guests were asked to reserve a time as the inn was full when we were there. This was our first visit to this inn and we would come again. The only caveat is that like many homes that have had bathrooms added to accommodate guests, the bathroom that we had was tiny. We are average to small size and someone who may be a plus size may have some difficulty in fitting into the shower. This comment was for the bathroom in the Taupe Room. Other rooms may have larger showers and this may not be an issue. If you are a larger person, you may want to ask the host before booking your room.…

The location of the Inn is perfect for a trip to Freeport. It’s so close to the main shopping. We stayed in the blue room and it was perfect for us. Definitely recommend- clean, adorable and great location. Stayed with my adult daughter and I on a weekend trip to Maine. Hot tip - check out the Oyster bar- great food and drinks!

Very wonderful experience. Clean and felt like you were home. Breakfast was amazing, didn’t even need lunch, because you were so full! Walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Beautiful scenery in this quaint little town.
