Leaves, they are changing

noreply@blogger.com (Freeport Inn Staff) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 19:45:00 +0000

Hello Freeport fans! It's that time of the year again. The time when the leaves start to change and the air turns cool and crisp. It's closing in on peak foliage season in Maine. The red, orange and yellow is a sight not to be missed. With three state parks with walking and hiking trails only minutes from the Freeport Inn and still plenty of chances to make it up to Freeport to see what fall is all about!

And if it's the reds, oranges and yellows in the store that catch your eye, then don't forget to ask about our shopper's package when you call!

Winter Wonderland Best Western Freeport Inn

noreply@blogger.com (Freeport Inn Staff) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:08:00 +0000

I know many of you enjoyed a day of shoveling or a holiday from work or school today!
We received around a foot of fluffy snow here in Freeport Maine. Amy, the Cafe manager
has already gone out this afternoon and "groomed" the snow shoe trails. We don't have
any rentals available at this time, but are working on it. In the mean time grab your snow shoes and gear and enjoy the Winter Wonderland with us at the Best Western Freeport Inn! Work up a hearty appetite on the trail and head over to the Cafe for some Homestyle cooking to warm you up!

Pet Friendly Walking Trails

noreply@blogger.com (Freeport Inn Staff) — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:34:00 +0000

Best Western Freeport Inn is a Pet Friendly Hotel! We have 32 pet friendly rooms out of our 80. Since the weather is a little warmer this weekend (40%) I thought it would be a great idea to enjoy some of the local walking/hiking trails available to you and your dogs. Starting off in Freeport Try out Winslow Park or Wolfe Neck state park with some breathtaking ocean views.
A quiet trail along the Royal River park in Yarmouth that runs from East Elm street to Gooch's falls. For some bird watching and winding snowy trails try Freeport's Mast Landing Bird Sanctuary, just 2 miles from LL Bean.

More Adventurous? Try Bradbury Mountain State Park in nearby Pownal.

For Portland area go to www.mainepets.com for a listing and detailed map of more options.

We have a snowshoe trail on site at the Inn that meets up with the Conservation trail behind the YMCA.

Enjoy,
