Great sleep, outdated room

Reviewed By Traveler49347825980

Off season visit to Maine. Motel was set back off the road. Restaurant on the property was closed, due to staffing issues, just like everywhere else. The room was clean, but very outdated. Mattress was comfy. Only spent one night. Not sure I’d stay again.

Great location for exploring Maine's beautiful coastline!

Reviewed By Raja P

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary by taking a last minute trip up to Maine to see it's beautiful coastline. We booked a room on Booking.com. Wow! First, the owners/operators of the Maine Stay Inn (Janis and Pete) are amazing! These folks are super friendly and their hospitality was fantastic. We stayed in the Tierney room on the second floor which had a nice king bed and fill en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was simple, yet delicious with everything being sourced locally. The garden is truly a beautiful place to enjoy your morning coffee. If you are going up to see the Maine coast, this place is in a great location to do so. We went north to Lubec and south to Freeport during our stay there. Loved everything about this place!

Pretty view on the water

Reviewed By adrianabT153ZI

It was a lovely stay, we had a very pretty view on the river. We enjoyed the fact that had blockout curtains, so we slept like babies all day long. Situated in the middle of the small town, we had restaurants close, even a park where we walked each day. The only downside was the sound of a pipe from the heater, we had to listen to that all night long. The second night we didn’t use the heating stove anymore. We’ll definitely come back, but maybe in the summer :). A, another thing, not too many blankets, just a very thin cover

Simply charming!

Our recent May trip to Maine found my little group of 4 staying at this charming little B&B in Camden. James and Gary are superb hosts and offer so much kind attention. We appreciated the close distance to shops and restaurants. They have done a great job decorating this well over 200-year-old inn. During our 3 night stay, we were rewarded with a delicious breakfast each morning in the bright dining room. Our decorated rooms brought a neat New England flair that was very comforting. The hosts have many connections and have lots of information about the area so you can get good advice on where to eat, shop, or where the nearest lighthouse is. I would happily stay here again!

Winter In Camden

Reviewed By TheSpacebar

Late writing this (my profile seems to have vanished), but my wife and I had a wonderful time in Camden and at Abigail's Inn in January. DO NOT fret about going to Maine in the winter! Yes, we were delayed a day leaving Portland due to a blizzard, but it was an adventure! Our time in Camden was great for scenery, food, and lodging. Dave was a fantastic host and we're so grateful he didn't shut down for the winter and his wonderful B&B was available to us. This was our first visit to Maine in the middle of winter and we look forward to our return trip no matter when it is, and if we're stopping in Camden, it'll be at Abigail's Inn.

Happy they could work us in since it’s by reservation. Would definitely recommend a visit and now trying to see if we can come back in the fall!
