History

Established in 1987.

This 1888 Victorian-​era New England house was once the boyhood home of Arctic explorer Donald B. MacMillan. MacMillan was second-​in-​command to Adm. Robert Peary.

We believe this building was one of the original ’ Mallet Homes ’ built by EB Mallet to house the workers and managers of his many Freeport businesses back in the late 1800’s.

Winthrop Fogg, the original Freeport town pharmacist was the first resident of the building. He lived here with his wife, Letitia and their children as well as Letitia’s brother, Donald MacMillan.

The building has been a family home, a day care, an art studio and now a bed and breakfast.

This is my first time staying at a bed and breakfast as an adult!!! My girlfriend brought me here from Virginia for my birthday… From the minute we walked in it felt like home. The rooms are immaculate and the hospitality is top notch. The breakfast was fantastic and the atmosphere really felt like you were in your families home… When we came back from shopping for the day, Monica had worked with my girlfriend to have a cake and ballon in the room!!! They will go out of their way to make your stay fantastic… Truly a great visit! We will be returning and staying here again on our next visit to Freeport!!! Thank you Monica and Rock for the warm welcome and fantastic visit!!!

We booked two rooms here for two nights over the summer. Our goal was to take my mother, who had been in poor health, on a much needed trip to relax and unwind. White Cedar Inn was so accommodating to her, and addressed my each of my concerns. They took the time to describe the number of steps she’d have to climb to access the property, reassured me that the room was ADA compliant, and that our rooms would be near to each other. My Mom felt so comfortable She really enjoyed the wonderfully appointed room. It had a comfy bed, and a homey atmosphere created by lovely period antiques, stunning morning light, and a cozy corner to sit and read in. My BF’s and my room was gorgeous and spacious. We loved the saturated colors and lovely paintings, comfortable bed, clean and modern bathroom. And all three of us loved the delicious and friendly breakfasts each morning. It’s a short walk to LL Bean and all shopping: We enjoyed several walks to the town center each day (and night), a few trips to lovely Portland. this property is right next to the much larger Harseeket inn, so it’s quite easy to find. The gorgeous property and lovely rooms make it a gem of a place, but the personal attention paid to my Mom’s needs and keeping us comfy make this place extraordinary. Thank you White Cedar Inn! We can’t wait to return for another stay sometime soon!

An overall pleasant experience at this B&B. Monica and Rock were great hosts. The room we stayed in was a little old, but very clean and tidy. Breakfast was good, but not great.
We’d stay here again if we were to come back to the Freeport, Maine area.

As an avid B&B visitor I am always pleased when I find one that fits all my needs/​requirements.
The owners were pleasant and engaging. Didn’t hover but also had the time to talk. Loved the little drink/​snack area so that I could help myself to coffee mid-​day and a refrigerator/​microwave to heat up leftovers.
Perfect walking distance to all the shopping and I loved how close it was to Portland. Where Monica was nice enough to help us find a lobster boat to go out on. It was a highlight of our trip.
They do a nice mixture on their menu as we were there for a few days.
My only regret is that I didn’t book one of their larger rooms so that my mother and I could have a bit more room. My mom is already talking about going back.

Avoid the White Cedar Inn at all costs. The owners were rude, surly and completely unprofessional. We were charged $ 50 extra for checking out 45 minutes late despite us having asked for an extension ahead of time. We also got scolded and were told that we could not leave our bags with them. We wound up having to leave our bags on the porch unattended for an hour. Awful!

I just spent a couple of days at White Cedar Inn. I had a truly wonderful experience. Monica and Rock are warm and welcoming.
The inn, itself, was immaculate. I stayed in the Parlor Room and would not hesitate to book it again. The bathroom in my room was modern and clean. The mattress felt firm without being hard. The linens were fresh and comfortable.
The Inn is next to the Harraseeket Inn (which is really more of a hotel than an inn). I originally wanted to stay at the Harraseeket Inn, but the rooms that had been recently refurbished were booked. When I looked for another place, I found White Cedar. Having seen them both, my first choice now would be the White Cedar Inn.
The breakfasts that Rock cooked were TERRIFIC. He puts a lot of thought and effort into his recipes, so, unless you are allergic to something, I would trust him and try his dishes as he plans them.
I can’t thank Monica and Rock enough for their hospitality. I hope that I can visit them again and bring other members of the family with me. It was a memorable visit.

Extremely nice, friendly owners with great food and a clean yet homie atmosphere. Felt like staying with good family or friends rather than an impersonal hotel. Proprietors know the area well and have plenty of recommendations for whatever you want to do.

So I saw the Harraseeket Inn on the Phantom Gourmet. I said to myself «that looked delicious, let’s go up to Maine for the weekend, eat good food and go shopping!»
I immediately googled it, and immediately found that the Harraseeket was really expensive, BUT next door was a cute B&B that was half the price! Enter: The White Cedar Inn.
The owners are both wonderful people. They’re great to talk to, but they won’t chat you up so long that you start needing to edge to the door. They also cook you a mighty delicious breakfast! 5 Stars for the Owners/​Service.
The rooms themselves are everything you want out of a New England B&B — quilts, cute beds, great lighting, and just comfortable/​homey in general. 5 Stars for the rooms.
And finally location! it’s literally a 5 minute walk to the town center of freeport. All the shopping you could want for a weekend.
We had a wonderful time, and have already decided to go back again.
Thanks White Cedar Inn!

Clean, efficient B&B near the center of Freeport. Walkable to shopping district. Rooms were homey and comfortable. Public internet computer available, direct_​tv Breakfast was consistently good, of special note were blueberry pancakes. Someone was baking very good cookies and leaving them out, a fresh batch each day, along with Lindt chocolates… we saw chipmunks in the garden… all good signs.
