The
Details:
Breakfast: a
wonderfully bountiful event served at 8:00, 8:30, 9:00 &
9:30 seatings. You choose from a menu hung on your door each
evening. Your choices include fresh seasonal fruit, a selection
of muffins such as Strawberry/almond or perhaps Orange/pecan,
pastries of the day, an appetizer, and the entree of the day.
This could be Smoked Salmon or other gourmet omelets, Lemon-Ricotta
Souffle Pancakes, or maybe heart shaped Banana-Pecan Cornmeal
Waffles with Maple Country Sausage. A selection of fine teas
and coffees and fresh juices are available. There is a Continental-plus option
for those with lighter appetites.
Check In:
In order to prepare our rooms for your arrival, our check in
time is from 3:00 to7:00 p.m.. Later arrivals must make arrangements
in advance if absolutely necessary.
Check out: 11:00 a.m.
Cancellations: Due to our small size, last minute cancellations impact us greatly. We kindly ask for 14 days notice prior to planned day of arrival. This lead time will allow us to rebook the room to travelers who must coordinate airline flights etc. in order to take your place. Regretfully... with less than 14 days notice we will make every effort to fill your room, but you are responsible for the cost of your entire stay if we are unable to rebook it.
Minimum Stays: In High Season and all Holiday Weekends
we request a 2 night minimum stay. The Camden area has so much
to offer travellers.... great restaurants, sailing, hiking, premier
golf, film and art festivals, antique shopping, lobster and blueberry
festivals, wonderful museums, lighthouses and islands to explore,
upscale shops and galleries.... and did we mention the VIEWS?
We find that our guests are often disappointed that they could
not fit everything in! Camden is a great home base for all of
this.... it beats packing and unpacking constantly.
Your
Innkeepers: Former
Bostonians, Bill Fontana, a sculptor, and JoAnne Ball, a decorative
designer, fell in love with Camden while driving through in 1989.
"We have to live here!" they both thought. A Little
Dream is the happy result.
"Serendipity brought us here. We drove by this Victorian
cottage with its pretty carriage house, bought it that day, and
then thought...'Now what?' How about a B&B? A little dream!
"We lived in New York before we moved here. Now we meet
guests from all over the world. People with interesting experiences
and viewpoints on life. Honeymooners, actors, musicians, film
producers, lots of sailors. Its wonderful!"
Foreign Languages spoken: Thanks to living in Switzerland as a child, JoAnne speaks Italian plus some French and German.
No Smoking Please ... Regretfully ...including the premises, porches and decks. No pets, not appropriate for small children (too many high decks!).
Getting Here: it's easy:
From the South:
take Highway Route 95 North to Route 295 North just before South Portland Maine. Take Route 295 North to Exit 28 Bath/Brunswick to Coastal Route 1. Stay on Route 1 until you pass through Camden Village heading North. As Route 1 proceeds North just past our Camden Maine Library it becomes High St. We are at the high end of High St. about 1/2 mile from the village, on the left, just 2 doors North of the old White Hall Inn. Our driveway swings around to our Carriage House where there is off street parking.
Check-in is at the Main House between 3-7 pm.
NOTE: If you are in a hurry to get here, try taking Route 90, a left off of route 1 just on the Northern outskirts of the viliage of Warren. It will save you more than 30 minutes in drive time by by-passing Thomaston and Rockland. Stay on Route 90 (crossing Route 17) until it tees with Route 1 in Camden/Rockport. Make a left on Route 1 and proceed North as per directions above.
From the North:
Take Route 1 South entering Camden. We are the second Inn on the right before you come into the village, accross from Norumbega Inn, a small Victorian castle.
From the West: It gets trickier. Best to call us.
From the East: You had better be on a boat!

Logan International Airport (BOS) (just under 4 hours South)
Portland Jetport (BWM) (1 hour and 45 minutes South)
Bangor International (BGR) (1 hour 15 minutes North)
