Our room was spacious and nicely decorated. Comfortable bed and great shower. Breakfast was fine- fruit yogurt and hardboiled eggs. No decaf There is no sound proofing if that’s a problem for you. We would have appreciated new towels for second day. Also we were cold one day when ac was on and it was quite cool outside.

This was such a quaint property. The bed was comfortable. The room and home were clean. We stayed in a room with a library of books which would have been wonderful to read if we had more time. Breakfast was fresh and good. This is about a 5 minute drive to shops and restaurants. The town of Freeport was such a wonderful surprise. Good Chinese restaurant (China Rose) and fun LL Bean campus. I would recommend including a hand towel in the bathroom, and updating the shower, and making sure the conditioner/shampoo is full. Note that the property is close to a busy road so you will hear cars going by. Definitely recommend this place!

I had a lovely, one-night stay at the Orchard House. The owner is very friendly and the inn is adorable - beautiful old house with cozy, updated, country-chic decor. Quiet and peaceful with extra comfy bed, delicious breakfast, and convenient to downtown Freeport. It was clean and fresh throughout, but the bathroom could have used a deep cleaning.

I stayed while dropping off our daughter at Bowdoin College. The location was very convenient and I enjoyed the breakfast choices and little touches like water in the room.

Coming in with the codes was easy... the stairs to the room were steep with bags, nit the best, there was water in room- good, but there was only a bed side table on one side and only power on one side of the bed- and the table was barely big enough for husband's C-pap machine- hard to charge my phone... bed too high. no hand towels. but biggest drag was that the cafe was under renovation and we really wanted a full breakfast. There was a poor selection of teas and no non-dairy milk options for the coffee. Place looked pretty but was a disappointment over all.

Comfortable stay
We enjoyed our stay. The property was nicely appointed, the bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. Our room was quite small for 2 people, and the bathroom didn’t have counter space for toiletries.

This was the most charming B&B. The host was so friendly, the room was impeccable, the breakfast was so fresh and thoughtful. The fresh Maine blueberries with the yogurt topped it off as an A experience. Loved the whole experience!

Perfect stay!
Lovely b&b in an old farmhouse. Floors a bit noisy creaking, so light sleepers may have a hard time. Perfect location for a solo trip to visit family. The continental breakfast provided was great! Will stay again the next time I’m in Freeport.

We enjoyed our stay at The Orchard House! The kind and friendly innkeeper was around when we checked in. His yellow lab Bay is very sweet. We enjoyed visiting with him for a bit. The inn is very quaint and cozy. Our breakfast was good with fresh yogurt, berries and granola. We appreciated the quiet location just a few minutes down the road from the L.L. Bean headquarters shopping area. The Italian restaurant near there is amazing.

Comfort and Beauty
The Orchard House was lovely! The perfect blend of historical with modern amenities/fixture...Wonderful ambiance, convenient location, easy check-in/out, clear pride of ownership all were evident here. We had a great time exploring Freeport with the Orchard House as home base for a quick overnight getaway. And the mattress and pillows in the bookcase room: heavenly!!! It is rare for both my husband and I to sleep well while away from home, but we FINALLY found an excellent sleeping arrangement here. Thanks, we hope to visit again soon.
