This big, white clapboard inn is a Freeport tradition, with a lodge-style lobby complete with crackling fireplace and afternoon tea. While most of the rooms have a classic but fresh look, the Thomas Moser Room is decked out in sleek slate and wood – stylish. The inn is a short walk from the LL Bean outlet.
