Maryanne Shanahan is a native New Englander, originally from Lowell, MA, who lived and traveled worldwide before buying The Hawthorn Inn in November 2001.

We chose the Hawthorn Inn to host our wedding ceremony and reception, and could not have picked a better venue. Our closest family and friends all stayed at the inn with us for the weekend, and we were all welcomed and attended to with personal care throughout the weekend. The service was exceptional, and included a delicious homemade breakfast each morning. The rooms were charming and comfortable, and we loved being able to walk down to the harbor and into town each day. The wedding ceremony and reception were perfect. Every detail was taken care of, and as the bride, I did not have to worry about one thing the entire weekend. Maryanne and staff took care of everything behind the scenes, making for the happiest and most relaxing wedding I could have hoped for. The venue itself was beautiful, the catering phenomenal and the wedding details - flowers, place settings, etc. - were attended to personally and with much care. The event was both intimate and elegant. The Hawthorn Inn was a perfect choice for the small intimate wedding we wanted, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Many of our guests have already expressed a desire to return to the inn, and we are hoping to return on our anniversary.

I spent 2 nights at the inn, connecting with college friends, and immediately felt at home. My room was lovely, and even had a view of the harbor. There were ample spaces for gathering and relaxing both inside the inn, and outside on the pretty grounds. I will gladly recommend this inn to friends.
This Inn is perfect in every way: comfort, charm, welcome.

The 3-day stay was a revisit to this elegant setting, once again enjoying the Innkeeper's amazing hospitality and attention to detail. The Inn overlooks Camden harbor and its east facing windows flood the dining room with light in the morning as we enjoyed a beautifully presented and delicious breakfast each day. The rooms are wonderfully appointed in perfect keeping with the age of the Inn and the whaling history of its original owners. Its setting in this lovely town allows great shopping and easy access to cultural amenities close by. I would recommend this Inn as a retreat as well as a wonderful way to experience mid-coast Maine, helped by a knowledgeable innkeeper who stays abreast of all that is happening nearby and provides coupons and entry tickets to many attractions.

Our recent visit to the Hawthorn in August 2010 proved exceptional! We were married at the Hawthorn in a small ceremony in the back yard of this beautiful inn. Because we were out of state, we depended heavily on Maryanne's recommendations and assistance in arranging the details. She helped to make this special day absolutely perfect! We stayed in the Norfolk room and it was fabulous....spotlessly clean, beautiful well-lit bathroom, and a deck overlooking the backyard garden. By far the nicest room we have ever stayed in! The Hawthorn is worth a visit and does not disappoint!

Maryanne Shanahan's Hawthorn Inn is an oasis--extremely well run, with careful attention to every detail but also with great warmth. The building and grounds are beautiful, the breakfast scrumptious, and the innkeeper knowledgeable and attentive. We were delighted with this special place.
