Hartstone Inn

An enchanting hideaway in the heart of Camden village that Fodor’s considers “An elegant and sophisticated retreat and culinary destination”, this Mansard style Victorian built in 1835 offers a unique experience in pampered luxury.“ From Quimper faince and luscious linens in the guest rooms to the world-class cuisine in the dining room and the collection of 400 live orchids in the common areas, Mary Jo and Michael Salmon get absolutely everything right” says the Maine Explorers Guide. Each air conditioned guestroom combines carefully chosen furnishings and original artwork to create a mood of lavish comfort and romance. Luxurious amenities include: soft robes, memorably fluffy featherbeds, fine linens, gas fireplaces, Jacuzzi tubs, CD players, TV and WiFi. Reward yourself and your taste buds with our sumptuous multi-course breakfast presented on the sunny dining room porch. In the late afternoon indulge in our wine and cheese pairings and sneak away for some solitude to our beautiful English style gardens or to the privacy of your guestroom.

    Our luxurious and spacious Cottage Suite is tucked away in its own private garden. Relax on your private terrace surrounded by wildflowers, or lay in bed and listen to the trickle of the water fountain. Rich luxurious colors, hand-painted French Quimper china and original oil paintings adorn the walls. The separate bedroom has a queen four-poster bed with Ralph Lauren bed clothes and high ceilings. Lounge in front of the gas fireplace or watch a movie on the VCR with cable TV. The private bathroom has a large Jacuzzi tub with shower. Additional Amenities: air-conditioning, iPod™/MP3 player docking station, WiFi and private entrance.
    Our goal is to create dishes the average person doesn’t usually enjoy for breakfast. It all starts with freshly blended juices, such as banana-strawberry or pineapple-passion fruit, and cups of steaming coffee, complete with individual pitchers of cream and lump sugar imported from France. The starter course often involves fruit — a poached pear with a raspberry-star anise sauce, berry crepes or homemade cranberry granola. And as a starter should, it whets the appetite for what’s to follow. 
We alternate between savory and sweet breakfast entrées, so guests can enjoy a variety of flavors. Savory favorites include prosciutto baked eggs, smoked salmon benedict and lobster and asparagus quiche. Sweet specialties include Maine blueberry and almond pancakes and Belgian waffles with fresh fruit. The seasons greatly influence our breakfast menus, so summer guests are apt to experience Maine’s abundant berry crop and those who arrive in autumn may find local apples on their plates. Yum! 
The spacious Mansard Room is dedicated to 17th-century French architect Francois Mansart, for whom the high-pitched, two-sloped roof of the Inn is named. This lovely room is decorated to celebrate his French heritage. Hand-tied French lace curtains and a queen lace canopy bed dressed with a Ralph Lauren duvet offer the perfect atmosphere for a romantic interlude. A sitting area looks out over Camden with a distant ocean view and the classic decor is accented with Quimper china and French accessories. A private bathroom offers a large Jacuzzi tub with shower, perfect for a soothing bubble bath. Additional Amenities: air-conditioning, Flat Screen TV/DVD, WiFi and distant water view.
    Take a little time to rejuvenate during your visit to Camden. Let us pamper you with one of our relaxing spa treatments at the Hideaway Spa located on-site in the Hideaway building. Treatments can be scheduled seven days a week with one of the Innkeepers. We also offer couples massages for those looking for a romantic and relaxing escape for two.

Enhance your after spa treatment with a chilled split of champagne and a fresh fruit plate
