If you’re planning a trip to Freeport, Maine, why stay in an ordinary hotel when you can enjoy The Captain Briggs House Bed & Breakfast? We provide a special lodging experience with great hospitality – we treat you like family.

We are located on a quiet side street, just three blocks from L.L. Bean and within easy walking distance to shopping, dining, and hotel convention centers. The Captain Briggs House is a beautifully restored 1853 shipbuilder’s home, and the rooms are comfortable, bright and cheerful. All rooms have private baths and are air-conditioned and non-smoking. We’ll start your day out right with a hearty full breakfast – at no extra charge.
