This was our first time at a B&B and wow were we spoiled. This cute home is very intimate and walking distance from Camden. The home was spotless, staff were very friendly and the breakfast was phenomenal. Each day was a new surprise to start our morning. I highly recommend as we will definitely be returning here!

This is a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful inn with a lovely breakfast overlooking a garden. The rooms - each of which is unique - are exceptionally decorated. It’s a quick walk into town as well. It’s just such a nice vibe! Can’t recommend it enough

This is just the absolutely perfect B&B! 5 stars really isn’t enough. Everything you could ask for and more:
- Janis is a wonderful host - charming and welcoming without being overbearing at all. Provided lots of really useful recommendations for the local area which took the guesswork out of finding good places to eat and things to do.
- The building and facilities are first class - a historic building but upgraded to very modern standards (including good WiFi, wireless mobile charging, air conditioning). The space is very carefully and tastefully decorated/furnished with lots of interesting artwork. The common areas provide lovely spaces to relax and read (including plenty of books to choose from).
- The location is perfect - a short walk into town, easy to get to by car (with ample free parking) and set within lovely gardens.
- Includes a really delicious home cooked breakfast with local ingredients and dishes. We had a different breakfast each day both of which were superb.
I only which we could have stayed longer but hope to return in the future.

The perfect place to slow down and unwind - a true home away from home! Janis is a super host, and her breakfast was delicious. The inn is located in a historic building, upgraded to modern standards (including wireless phone chargers). Every room is thoughtfully furnished in an elegant traditional style, perfect to relax, read a book (there are plenty to borrow), or just to hang for a while with Einstein, the inn’s cat. Janis also gave us some great recommendations for activities and dining (e.g. Winona’s) in and around Camden. This place is a 10 out of 10.

My husband and I recently stayed two nights at the Camden Maine Stay Inn to celebrate my birthday. This was our third visit to the inn.The inn is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants in downtown Camden. The rooms are beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and inviting. The inn keeper, Janis, is warm and welcoming and makes you feel like you are in your own home. She has wonderful culinary skills and cooks the most delicious breakfast. Additionally she shares her knowledge of local restaurants and activities. We highly recommend the Camden Maine Stay Inn and look forward to staying here again.
