Hotel Spotlight
Together with Inside Hotels
The Harraseeket Inn and Event House
The Vibe: Quintessential New England escape
The Location: Freeport, ME
Instaworthy Accommodations: A 94-room historic inn at the center of Freeport village, the Harraseeket offers something most Maine coastal properties don't: a full-service stay year-round. Continental breakfast, afternoon tea, a heated indoor pool, and an on-site restaurant where Chef Jeremy Lamoureux builds the menu from Maine farms and local purveyors. The L.L. Bean flagship store is just a short walk away, and the inn's own L.L. Bean Guest House—a restored historic home furnished by the brand, sleeping up to nine—is a Freeport original. Plus, Wolfe's Neck State Park is four miles out, while the Maine Beer Company is just two, making it a cozy escape with access.
