    After five days touring Boston's busy streets, we'd scheduled a quick drive up the coast and what we hoped would be a relaxing day in Camden to top off our vacation. We weren't disappointed! The Belmont Inn was charming, immaculate, and full of personality--so warm and inviting. Anita was very helpful in suggesting places to hike, stroll about town, and wonderful restaurants to sample. We enjoyed just poking around Camden and drinking in the beautiful surroundings. Breakfast the next morning-- served in a sunny enclosed porch-- was a delicious asparagus fritata, assortment of juices, coffee/tea and toast with various jams. I had a hard time staying out ot the blueberry jam! The inn had the perfect ambiance for a lovely respite. We found ourselves regretting that we had only one night to spend there! We highly recommend the Belmont Inn and hope to visit again.

    We spent a fantastic 3 nights at the Belmont Inn. The B&B definitely lived up to its reputation as one of Camden's finest. It was a pleasure just sitting on the porch during the afternoon, watching the leaves on the Katsura turn, reading books and reflecting on our marriage. Anita prepared exceptional breakfasts, was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and connected to all of Camden's offerings. She helped put the icing on the cake of our weekend by arranging a sunset schooner ride over the Penobscot. It was indeed a wonderful weekend.

    We spent one night at the Belmont Inn on a 5-day trip up the Maine Coast. It would be hard to imagine a better place to stay from every point of view: quiet location (but easy walking distance to shops and restaurants), plenty of off-street parking, delightful house, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated rooms (ours was "Country Charm"), delicious breakfast, etc., etc. Anita Zeno looked after us superbly well and we left the following morning for Bar Harbour and Acadia National Park equipped with a list of her recommendations of points of interest to visit along the way. We would love to make a return visit. There is clearly a lot to see and do in the area and next time we would use Camden and the Belmont Inn as a base for a longer, more relaxing stay.

    My wife and I are not B&B people, but we loved our stay here. Anita is a wonderful and helpful host - and makes a delicious breakfast. The inn is a stone's throw from the heart of town, but is on a relatively quiet sidestreet. The inn and gardens are well done and relaxing, without being over the top. We would happily stay here again in the future. Thanks for making our first days in Maine so enjoyable.
