Our Coastal Maine Bed and Breakfast Inn

The Camden Maine Stay Inn is a historic coastal Maine bed-and-breakfast located in the quaint, beautiful seaside village of Camden, Maine. The Inn is widely known for its refined, elegant accommodations, its multi-course, gourmet breakfasts, and relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

The Inn is situated near the center of Camden, commonly regarded as the most beautiful seaside village in Maine. Camden’s geography is unique – quite literally, it is where the mountains meet the sea. Camden is one of the few places in the United States, even the world, where one can hike a mountain and cruise the ocean in the same day. When you combine Camden’s natural beauty with its coastal Maine setting, it’s easy to see why the town is known as the “Jewel of the Maine Coast.”

Our coastal Maine bed and breakfast inn is blessed with an incredibly favorable location in the charming Historic District of Camden. The inn sits alongside several lovely, quintessentially New England residences that date back to the earliest years of Camden’s existence. From the Inn, it is only a short, roughly four-minute walk to Camden’s gorgeous harbor and quaint downtown. From there, one can easily walk to Camden’s many fine shops and excellent restaurants.

Built in 1802, the inn is the third-oldest house in Camden and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our staff has carefully maintained the inn over the years, preserving the character, history, and traditions that make it such a special place to stay. Each guest room has its own distinctive style, featuring period-acurate details. Several rooms feature original wide-plank wood floors, traditional gas-log fireplaces, or stoves, adding to the inn’s historic charm.

Guest Experience at Camden Maine Stay Inn

During your stay, you are also welcome to enjoy the inn’s inviting common areas, including the living room, piano room featuring a Steinway grand piano, den, dining room, sun porch, and kitchen. These shared spaces feature fine art and an extensive library of fiction and nonfiction books, offering plenty of room to relax between outings.

We serve our guests a delicious, multi-course, gourmet breakfast each morning. We place significant emphasis on using locally and regionally sourced fruit, eggs, meat, herbs, and other fresh foods for breakfast. To this end, we maintain an herb garden where we grow our own fresh basil, oregano, thyme, tomatoes, and other flavor enhancers during spring, summer, and fall. We also have freshly baked cookies as well as coffee and tea (more than 30 varieties) for our guests in the kitchen every afternoon and evening. Our Maine Stay Mocha Truffle cookies are an overwhelming favorite of our guests. To many of our guests’ delight, we are more than happy to share our recipes.

One of the defining elements of the Inn is our beautiful, spacious garden. With its size and variety, our garden feels more like a miniature park than a traditional garden. In fact, the grounds include more than an acre of lawn and gardens, along with walking paths, seating areas, and a year-round stream that flows from nearby Mount Battie to the harbor. Guests often enjoy the space with a cup of coffee or tea before or after breakfast. Later in the day, it’s also a peaceful place to relax with a glass of wine before dinner.
