We had the tremendous fortune to stay here for the month of August. Our stay in this beautiful, charming house was perfect. The neighborhood is so pretty and everyone we encountered on our walks were friendly. The owners, Sally and Norbert, are so gracious and pleasant to talk to. They made us feel so welcome in their lovely home from the very beginning with beautiful flowers and a bottle of wine. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need and you feel right at home from the moment you step inside. It is decorated in such a way that is both eclectic and stylish without trying to be. It gives you the impression that the owners have a love for adventure-seeking themselves and appreciate simple, yet, beautiful things in life. It is refreshing to stay in a house that reflects the personality of the homeowners instead of some of the impersonal and sparse places where people just throw together random stuff that doesn't flow or feels cold simply because they don't want to invest in things that may get damaged by renters like at other places we've stayed.
We spent most of our time in the bright and cheery sunroom reading and listening to music. The kids also enjoyed being able to watch Netflix and play on their gadgets using wifi. It's also in perfect proximity to walk to the little Laite Beach or to all the quaint little shops and restaurants. We highly recommend Cappy's Chowder House. The meals were delicious and it was kid friendly. We also loved walking to Camden Cone for a sweet treat in the evenings. Camden Deli was also fabulous for lunch and homemade delicious treats. We also enjoyed Harbor Dogs for some delectable hot dogs and to sit and watch the boats. We had the pleasure of stepping aboard the Appledore schooner right out of the harbor for a great boat ride that the kids loved. We even saw some seals! The Owl and Turtle Book Shop was also a favorite stop for us. Great atmosphere and the kids loved the selection of books and I loved the pour-over style coffee they served. If you're looking for a great coffeehouse to enjoy, we recommend Highland Coffeehouse in Thomaston. We also adored the nature trails at Mt. Battie along with the postcard perfect views of the harbor. Even on the rainy days we were happy and content reading and playing games and doing crafts at the house.
I hope that my family will some day be able to make it back here again. I can only imagine how stunning it is here in the fall season!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this classic victorian house, which has been renovated in an interesting and tasteful manner. The personal items throughout the house -- paintings, photos, books... -- gave a feeling of being in a home. As other reviewers have mentioned, the modern sunroom is a perfect addition, providing light and an intimate sense of being in a wooded, private space in a nice neighborhood. The location was perfect, with easy walking distance to charming Camden and short drive to Rockport. The larger surrounding area is the essence of mid-coast Maine.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Camden at this house. We were there with our two sons for the week. From the start, with the warm welcome and overview from the owner to relaxing in the wonderful conservatoire on the back of the house, we knew we had stumbled onto the perfect house.
The kitchen is very nicely put together. Great appliances, pots and pans, utensils, you name it.
if you want it, the house has excellent wireless access from top to bottom, access to Netflix and a laptop to use.
The two bedrooms on the 2nd floor are very comfortable and share a very large beautiful bathroom. If you like deep tubs, this is the one for you!
I would heartily recommend this house so long as you don't want the same week as us!

Most of our cookware and pans are from the All-Clad Stainless Steel pro line, since we personally don't like the coated non-stick surfaces. However, we will add a couple of non-stick pans to our assortment, for guests who prefer cooking in them.
