Nicholson Inn

  • Inn Details

    Conveniently located in the heart of Freeport, Maine, Nicholson Inn offers all the amenities a traveller could desire. A Freeport landmark since 1925, Nicholson Inn has a long tradition of hospitality. Norman and Martha Nicholson acquired this elegant building in the 1930's, and through the '40s and '50s it became a synonym for warmth and welcome. Now the Nicholson's granddaughter Jane and her husband Alden are carrying on that tradition. Working with love and respect for the Inn's architectural integrity, the Grants have updated, renovated and modernized the facility, giving carefull thought to providing the maximum amount of comfort and convenience their guests could require.

    We always stay at The Nicholson Inn when we are in the Freeport area. Jane & Alden's warm hospitality, beautifully decorated rooms and most comfortable beds guarantee a wonderful stay every time! Not to mention the gourmet breakfasts! The Inn's location is perfect for easy shopping of the outlets and also only minutes from great walking trails in the woods leading to the ocean. A special find!

    Rooms were clean and beautifully decorated with L. L. Bean linens. Our host and hostess were charming and became instant friends. The breakfast of eggs benedict was absolutely delicious. This is a great place to stay. We shall return.

    Three days of hard sea kayaking was rewarded each day with a revitalizing stay at the inn. Starting with a great breakfast and concluding with a comfortable deep sleep. All in the center of Freeport!
