The cabins were quaint! We had a 2 bedroom for the 4 of us. It had a nice kitchen area and a fireplace. Yummy breakfast made by the owner. Very reasonable for the size of the cottage. AC in our cottage big plus. Only down side was couldn't stay any longer. More

Most places in the Portland/Freeport area were booked for a last minute trip over Memorial Day weekend. I stumbled upon the Maine Idyll Motor Court, and am so glad I did. The business has been in the family since the 1930s, and there was a cozy and relaxing energy to the place. Everyone who worked there was friendly and happy,... More

This motor court reminds me of a place my grandmother might have brought me when i was a child. There were iron beds in our room--all of it, the bedspreads, the pillows, the decorations, nothing was mass produced, some of it was older, but it was in fine condition, clearly lovingly kept. (Isn't that better than some polyester mass produced... More

The hotel was really cute and cozy. I liked the little fire places in the rooms. Our room wasa little small but some of the other rooms were bigger. The only drawback is it is a little far from the downtown. Great "mom and pop" business.( we did not find any mold or mildew in our rooms like the pictures... More

My husband and I have stayed here a half dozen times over the years....he even proposed to me here in front of the fireplace in our room. We have also stayed at the Freeport Inn and some B&Bs in Freeport, but we keep coming back to the Idyll. It's not a fancy place, so if you are high maintenance than... More

The quality from cabin to cabin is dramatically different. I was shown a 2 bedroom cabin last year with a communal living and eating area and two bedrooms well separated from each other. Based on this two bedroom cabin, I chose to stay in a nice single room cabin last year. This year, I reserved a cabin three months in... More

We were expecting a simple cottage experience but really, we got a mattress and linens that must have been 20 years old, a room that hadn't been swept in ages (some impressive spider webs and dead bugs) and a moldy shower curtain in a shower smaller than a coffin! We tried to salvage it with a cheery fire in the... More

Having spent childhood summers at camp in Maine, I like the rustic Maine experience. So the Maine Idyll Motor Court was just that - a rustic stay with basic amenities. We stayed in the "One Maine Pine" cottage. It is very small, and yes, you can hear the traffic from I-295. But the bed was comfortable, the cottage and bathroom... More

I found this place very cute and charming. It offered our family everything we need as to kitchen, refrigerator, etc. Outside the cottage was a grill and picnic table. Love their breakfast as well, homemade scones , cookies, muffins, orange juices, etc. Bang for your buck! I didnt mind if they only accept cash or checks. So make sure you... More
