Candlebay Inn

Greetings!

Candlebay Inn, Freeport, Maine

As the leaves start to fade and snow starts to fall here in Freeport, I can’t express how excited I am for the holidays this year. With Freeport Village and outlet stores within walking distance, Candlebay Inn is the place to stay for holiday shopping extravaganzas. Freeport is filled with holiday spirit, decorated with lights for your viewing pleasure and filled with gifts to be bought. Holiday shopping can be stressful but not this year if you enjoy a weekend away at Candlebay Inn.

Our gift to you this holiday season is our See the Lights holiday package. Visit us for Freeport’s Annual Sparkle Celebration or any time during the holiday season to receive special rates and complimentary gifts. Sparkle is an event that is fun for the whole family; enjoy a parade full of lights or sit on Santa’s lap. Join in on the bustling fun of the holidays with this celebration or throughout the holiday season.

The holiday season is about spreading cheer and making new holiday traditions. Start a new trend of tackling holiday shopping the right way, with a relaxing stay at Candlebay Inn.  Start your shopping spree with a hearty breakfast and embark on a full day of shopping. The inn is close enough that you can walk back for breaks throughout the day, and then head back into town for dinner. Embrace the snow and see the lights; we can’t wait to share this holiday season with you at Candlebay Inn.

Warmest wishes, 

 

 

 

Connie Lay, Innkeeper
