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.

Went above and beyond my expectations. Clean, beautiful, and comfortable - and with such a kind and generous host. Trains and buses to Boston are less than a 10-min walk away. Would stay here again, 10/10!

It's a home feeling being away from home. People are so friendly that we feel great about staying there. From the very first step in to the property to the last step out of the property we feel like those people are known to us for a long time. Foods are excellent. Hats off to the house Mother for making us feel that way. We strongly recommend that place to every one to consider. I'll be looking forward to visit it in near future.

Wonderful 3 day stay! Warm and friendly Host! Charming room, very clean and very quiet. Delicious breakfast and different each day. Fresh baked cookies and cold water bottles available and little snacks in your room. The location is perfect, close to all the shops and restaurants. 20 minute ride to Portland. Lots to do. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend!

We had the most wonderful stay in Freeport and the Candlebay Inn took it to the next level. Everything was exceptional and made our visit to Freeport more memorable than any visit previous to the area. The inn-keeper (Connie) was so welcoming and made it her mission to ensure our stay was perfect. Hot breakfast was prepared special to our liking and served at the time most convenient to our schedule. We will definitely be making Candlebay a constant in our visits to Southern Maine.

We had a wonderful stay here. It is so well located to exploring Freeport shopping and dining. The breakfasts were delicious! The only reason we rated our visit 4 stars is actually on us. This is an old house with steep steps and no elevator. We did not think to ask for a first floor room. We will return and stay on the first floor next time.
