As an innkeeper, it is nearly impossible to keep up with everything that is going on in and about the area. Over time, as we become more familiar with the area we will expand these pages to share our experiences as the different places. In the interim below is a list of resources that will help you plan your Camden vacation.

Beyond the Camden Area
When coming to Maine, many visitors want to experience as much of Vacation Land as possible. Ted and I are becoming familiar with all there is to see and do in the midcoast of Maine. We are not familiar with many other areas in Maine. As a result, we have partnered with Your Maine Concierge, a Maine vacation planner. Vanessa Santarelli, the firm’s founder, was born and raised in Maine and has traveled the state extensively. Vanessa is familiar with where to eat, where to stay and what to do throughout the state.
