What guests think
At The Orchard House: Inn | Ice Cream | Cafe, guests highlight a charming, historic setting with tasteful renovations, comfortable rooms, and a friendly owner, plus a convenient location near Freeport and Brunswick, making it easy to explore the area.
Reviews praise the light, self serve continental breakfast and on site ice cream, though the café’s availability has varied due to renovations and a few guests wished for more variety or a fuller, traditional breakfast. Several note creaky floors, limited soundproofing and some road noise, plus occasional room quirks like smaller layouts, limited outlets or counter space, and steep stairs. Cleanliness is widely praised, and self check in with codes is straightforward. Expect a charming, comfortable base near Freeport with a simple breakfast and a few old house trade offs.

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.

Our entry was simple, the room was immaculate and well appointed with all the comforts of home. Breakfast was arranged and waiting for us with a generous time frame which meant we could sleep in!

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.

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!

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.

Orchard House was very calm, relaxing, clean, and cozy; however, I would not consider it a typical bed and breakfast in a sense that there isn’t a home-cooked breakfast in the morning. They do provide granola and boiled eggs and a very small table with four seat seats, but it’s clear that most people including us go out to eat breakfast which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as there is plenty to do in the area just not what I’m typically used to.

This is the second time I've stayed here. It's a very charming, old house with tastefully decorated, comfortable rooms. The continental breakfast is very good and served in a cute and cozy dining room. The bed was a bit hard for me, but I'm pretty picky. Just a few minutes drive to the outlet stores and restaurants in town, but far enough away that it's nice and quiet.

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.

Lovely updated historic property just a short drive to downtown Freeport, but feels far away. Management is very friendly and accommodating for any specific needs. Overall - recommend highly and will stay again.

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!

Dining
The light, self serve continental breakfast with yogurt, granola, fruit, boiled eggs, and coffee is widely appreciated, though some expected a fuller hot breakfast or more variety. On site ice cream is praised, while the café has at times been closed for renovation.

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.

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.

The Orchard House & Cafe was a serene and cozy establishment with thought put into every detail of our stay. Our entry was simple, the room was immaculate and well appointed with all the comforts of home. Breakfast was arranged and waiting for us with a generous time frame which meant we could sleep in! The only down side is … you don’t want to leave!! Thank you Bill for your hospitality and warmth! We can’t wait to visit again!

Bill has a beautiful property. The rooms are immaculate- clean, charming decor, lovely breakfast options in the morning, and you may be greeted on the property by his gorgeous and friendly yellow lab! He made us feel right at home, the Café is still under renovation but we hope he is able to open soon and wish him all the success. We will be returning to stay again.

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.

Orchard House was very calm, relaxing, clean, and cozy; however, I would not consider it a typical bed and breakfast in a sense that there isn’t a home-cooked breakfast in the morning. They do provide granola and boiled eggs and a very small table with four seat seats, but it’s clear that most people including us go out to eat breakfast which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as there is plenty to do in the area just not what I’m typically used to.

This inn is in a lovely restored 200 year old building. There are five rooms and we stayed in three. The beds are comfortable. The king suite downstairs is beautiful. Upstairs feels more private as the windows aren’t on the walkway. The simple continental breakfast is nice and it’s great to be able to get coffee at 7. The dining and living room communal spaces are very pretty. The homemade ice cream served at the cafe is fabulous and not to be missed. There is highway noise if you are outside. What could have been improved is communication with the owner if booking with a third party, and the (locked) AC was on pretty high daily, actually making us cold.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming inn, which is set in a beautifully restored historic home with all the modern comforts. The innkeeper, Bill, was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The location was ideal for our trip—a short drive to downtown Freeport and a perfect home base for visiting relatives in Gray and attending the airshow in Brunswick. Tucked away from the main roads, the inn offered a peaceful, quiet setting that made it easy to relax after a busy day. We would happily stay here again.
