Camden Maine Stay Inn

A bright and cheerful corner room with three windows that bring in the morning sun. On the second floor, in the front of the house, this room looks out at a group of wonderful old white clapboard-clad homes, every one listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The tile bath has a six foot soak tub and shower.

Enter the comfortable sitting room with its warm, inviting gas fireplace and TV, and then the bedchamber, which has a queen brass bed and a nice tile bath. Some of the floor boards in this room are over 16 inches wide. The sitting room looks toward historic High Street, while the bedroom overlooks the garden.

This room overlooks a wooded glen. No houses are visible from here, but the animals that reside in the State Park behind our house can often be seen snacking on our tulips or hosta. With a queen-size bed and leaded glass panels this is a delightful room. The room is equipped with a comfortable bath.

The windows in this room face north and east bringing in the early morning sunshine and offer a view of several lovely historic "National Register" homes. The bed is an antique brass and iron queen, and has a lovely cozy cottage feeling.

This suite occupies the entire third floor of the inn, an area that once held three separate bedrooms. The sitting room has a sofa, a comfortable lounging chair, a small desk, TV and fireplace. You can sit at the desk to write a note, or just look out at the rooftops of some of the historic homes that line High Street. Located at the rear of the house, this bedroom with its antique, high brass and iron queen bed views the woods and Mount Battie. A small adjoining bedroom has a high brass and iron twin bed. The bathroom has a tile shower and a skylight.

Maine is known for its agricultural fairs, which celebrate harvest and mark the beginning of our long winters. One of the most popular is the Common Ground Fair, which is sponsored by the Maine Organic Farmers Association. Our Common Ground Room incorporates this theme displaying posters from past fairs. A high beamed ceiling, Vermont Castings stove and Maine Cottage furniture (queen bed and hidden TV) keep the feeling rustic. French doors open to a private balcony that overlooks the garden. The room has a modern in-suite bath with shower and soaking tub.

Located on the first floor above the Carriage House, this room overlooks our rock garden and the woods. You can see our barn, a brook and the paths that wind through our wooded glen, but mostly you can see trees, lots of trees. The room has a beautiful brass queen bed that is inlaid with mother-of-pearl dogwood flowers, a sitting area and private bath with tile shower.

Harpers Bazaar and Vacations magazine both chose the Carriage House as their favorite Maine Stay guestroom. At the ground level in the back of the house this large room has a queen bed, private bath, lots of books, a Vermont Castings stove and French doors which open onto a quaint stone patio tucked in between the room and the barn. This is a lovely, private romantic bedchamber.
