DOWNTOWN PORTLAND & FREEPORT

With the historic cobblestones and endless shops, Portland is a great weekend getaway. Be sure to check out my food post for all the top places to grab a bite :)

A short car ride away will take you to Freeport, home of LL Bean. Which surprisingly, the weekend we were visiting, they were having an arts and craft fair (my fav!) All I want to know is....can I get one of those Bootmobiles?!

THE BOTSFORD BRIAR

While in Beacon, we stayed at the BOTSFORD BRIAR. With Shirley and Charlie as gracious hosts, one is sure to feel right at home. The Gardenia Room, hinted on an English Countryside theme with the soft floral accents pairing back to deep mahogany finishes...and there's nothing like starting a day off than breakfast in bed:) Having a knack for antiques and the fine detailing lost in modern-day replication, this place was like a museum in which hours can be spent admiring the decor.
