Very cozy vintage cottage. Perfect location on quiet street just a couple of blocks from downtown Camden. Well equipped kitchen. Very easy access and very clean. Highly recommend!
The house is charming and well stocked with good quality kitchenware, linens, and comfortable beds. The garden is lovely. The neighborhood is quiet and it’s an easy walk to downtown Camden which we enjoyed.
Amazing vacation home. Our family of four had such a lovely stay at Michelle’s place. Walking distance to downtown but on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. So great with a grill and we also used the inflatable kayak one morning which was really cool to see the town from the water.
We loved The Wicker Cottage!! Absolutely adorable!! The kitchen was well stocked. Interesting artwork throughout, wonderful linens, comfortable beds and furniture . We loved the small seating area on the back porch after a day of exploring. We really enjoyed the close proximity to downtown Camden! We walked everywhere! Michelle checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Such a wonderful vacation in a town we fell in love with and a house that suited our needs perfectly!! We will return!! Patti and Jim
We had a wonderful stay at Wicker Cottage! The cottage was absolutely adorable, clean, and in a perfect location—just a short, easy walk to town. Michelle was a fantastic host and was always quick to respond to any questions I had, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. We recommend Wicker Cottage to anyone visiting the area!
Everything about Wicker Cottage was exactly what we expected. Michelle was very quick to respond to a quick text and checked in with us about any needs or concerns. The cottage is very well equipped, clean, and comfortable. The five minute walk to town made it easy for us not to have to drive and park. We went often. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. It was very easy to drive north to Belfast or go to the south to Rockland. A truly relaxing and enjoyable holiday week in Camden. We would stay here again.
Fantastic rental - loved, loved, LOVED the location! Walked downtown every day for coffee, breakfast, shopping, etc. Michelle was kind enough to coordinate with my husband and a neighbor to have flowers delivered prior to our arrival as we were in Camden celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. This is a beautiful, clean, perfectly located rental - we thoroughly enjoyed our getaway.
A true Maine fully equipped cottage, great location for walking into Camden, hiking into Camden Hills State Park and for driving out into the area. Host very responsive.
Beautiful cottage very near the harbor and the main street area. Very quiet and cozy, clean, and a perfect get away in coastal Maine. I would highly recommend this cottage for your stay in Camden.
We absolutely loved our stay at Wicker Cottage. Charming, well stocked, comfortable and nicely decorated. Short walk to Camden Harbor and Downtown with all its shops and restaurants. We visited in October when the color of the leaves were at their best. Nearby hiking and walks were just great. Michele, one of the owners, was always responsive and interested in us enjoying our stay. Hope to come again.
We enjoyed the week we spent at Wicker Cottage. Recommend staying here if you want privacy away from traffic and tourists, but a few minutes walk to all that Camden has to offer.
We completely loved our experience in this cottage. It was clean and bright, and just a short walk from downtown Camden and the Mount Battie trail head.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Welty
My husband, Keith, grew up on the coast of Maine, therefore it was inevitable we would eventually own a house in Maine--although we live and work in Florida! We love our time in Camden and believe anyone who visits will also fall in love with the area. If you love nature, hiking, kayaking, sailing--or just enjoying the beautiful northeast climate and scenery--we urge you to spend some time in Camden and surrounding midcoast Maine! -Michelle & Keith
