Location: Camden, Mid-Coast & Islands, Maine, USA (2 hours from Portland, Maine Airport)

Accommodations:  House, 2 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4)

Situated on a quiet, residential street this adorably updated, circa 1900 farmhouse is just a five minute walk to downtown Camden and its picturesque harbor. Bright and cheery, the two bedroom home offers comfortable furnishings and everything you need in your "home-away-from-home" including a newly added deck and private brick patio for outdoor dining and relaxing. The interior features restored wide plank pine floors upstairs and an antique claw tub, as well as a shower, in the second floor bathroom. Downstairs there is a full kitchen, separate sunny eating area seating six, a spacious family room and separate living/TV room which can be closed off via french doors from the rest of the house.

Camden is a lovely coastal town offering something for everyone. Enjoy views of Mount Battie from the front stoop or take a 20 minute hike to the summit from the trail head at the top of the street. Those less adventuresome can drive to the top via the Mount Battie State Park entrance. Either way the reward is a marvelous view of the harbor, bay, and outlying islands.

If you would rather not cook your own lobsters in our convenient outdoor propane lobster and shellfish pot, take a walk to the wharf for a lobster feast at Bayview Lobster, Inc., a cup of delicious New England chowder at Cappy's or venture where the locals hang out at the Quarterdeck and have a Maine micro-brew beer. You may also want to reserve a spot on one of the various wooden sailing schooners for a tour of Penobscot Bay or learn to kayak with Maine Sports Kayak Tours. Town events include the Camden Food and Wine Festival in June, Country Roads Artist & Artisans Tour in September, and Christmas By the Sea early December. Camden also offers a wide variety of restaurants, gourmet food and wine purveyors and unique shops where you can find upscale clothing, local pottery/art, antiques, and more.

Wonderfully located in Mid-Coast Maine, Camden is a great stepping stone from which to discover the pleasures of the seacoast as well as an array of exciting day trips to the north and south. Rivers and lakes abound for fishing and nearby towns and cities provide history and cultural amenities. You may want to experience the Annual Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland in August, Arts in the Park in Belfast (18 mi.), and the Union State Fair and Maine Wild Blueberry Festival in Union (13 mi.). This is a real Maine agricultural fair and one of the oldest fairs in Maine.

  • We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, pleasant cottage tremendously. The kitchen, grill and lobster pots make cooking a pleasure and good restaurants are within walking distance. The path leading up to Mt. Battie is just up the street and well worth the effort for the spectacular view of the harbor, coast and surrounding countryside. Great cottage for your adventuring in Camden and Maine.

  • The cottage was wonderful - quaint, clean, comfortable, well equipped and homey. It has a fabulous location: easy walk to town but set back on a quiet, safe street. We really enjoyed our stay there, and the owners were extremely gracious and accomodating. Camden is a very special town with lots of charm and a wealth of activities to keep adults and kids happy. Bring your kayaks, and your appetites! (July 2008)
