Welcome to Camden Maine Stay Inn, Camden, Maine A Premiere Bed & Breakfast

Description

In 1802, when Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States, Route 1 was a dirt road and Maine was still a part of the state of Massachusetts, Alden Bass built a house at 22 High Street here in Camden. A striking main house with an attached carriage house and a four-story barn, the home is an outstanding example of the progressive farm buildings common to 19th century Maine. The Camden Maine Stay is the second oldest of the sixty-six lovely homes that are listed on the National Register of Historical Places in the High Street Historic District.

The inn's two parlors have wood burning fireplaces. Highly crafted ornate iron castings form the mantel and surround the hearth in the North Parlor. Many of the rooms have original wide plank pine flooring. Oriental rugs, period furnishings, and many antebellum pieces are scattered throughout the house. You may take breakfast at the old harvest table in the dining room or at a table for two on the sun porch overlooking the garden. Some of the guestrooms have TVs and there is a TV, DVD and VCR in one of the first floor sitting rooms. And for those who carry their laptops with them, there is high speed internet access through our wireless ethernet (Wi-Fi) network. With a pleasant grove to the south, the Camden Hills State Park to the west and charming historic homes to the north and east, the inn projects the essence of New England.

Guests are always welcome in the Camden Maine Stay's big country kitchen. You can raid the cookie jar, get some ice or discuss the days' events round the antique Queen Atlantic stove.
