    Where do I even begin... we stayed in The Grace Bailey loft suite for 5 nights and our time here was simply the best. Rick and Carolyn spoiled us and our 3-year old; they had a pullout couch area all setup for him and he felt pretty special having his own little area! Rick and Carolyn are welcoming, kind and gracious hosts; they and their staff work incredibly hard to provide the absolute best hospitality. They have thought of everything and have all the little extras you might need! They had really nice beach chairs and towels ready and available for us to use. The breakfast/food is UNBEATABLE. From the delicious homemade breads and fresh ground coffee, to the incredible 3-course breakfasts, which are delicious and unique. Everyday we said "WOW"!!! They sure can cook. Oh. And homemade cookies and treats too. At night we relaxed with a beverage around the beautiful fire-pit in the backyard; we were pleasantly surprised to even find bocce ball and cornhole games to play. They have it all! Staying here is a MUST!! We can't wait to plan our next visit back. Thanks again to Rick, Carolyn and the Captain Swift Inn staff!

    The Captain Swift Inn was the perfect place to stay while visiting Camden. Shelly & Jeff make you feel at home the minute you arrive. Their attention to detail is amazing down to every amenity. Games, a library, a fire pit, a tea & coffee bar available 24/7, cookies, candies, toiletries, and, of course, the star of the show, a three-course gourmet breakfast with a personalized menu. The inn itself is absolutely gorgeous inside and out! The historical inn has been beautifully modernized with AC and amazing bathrooms, yet it still has the charm of a bygone era with its lovely wooden floors, historical doors & windows, and updated gas fireplaces. It is within a short walk of all the wonderful shops, restaurants, and waterfront of beautiful Camden. We can't wait until our next visit!

    This inn has a very nice colonial charm, and the breakfasts here are over the top. Our hosts were very friendly and made us feel at home. The inn has six rooms and two upstair/downstair units. A large library, with lots of books to read and they also offer a large video library, for those rainy days. Lots of comfortable nooks to go to sit and read and the place is bright, with exposed wood in areas. It is obvious the owners take pride and good care of this place. The breakfasts are huge and delicious! Freshly made Maine Blueberry pancakes with sausage on one day; and Egg Fritatta the second day. All are accompanied with either a yogurt with fresh made granola or fruit. Don't be shy, second helpings are encouraged. :) Note, for those that prefer stronger coffee, go with the Keurig coffee instead of the stuff in the pot----my only criticism about breakfast. There is plenty of room for seating breakfasts, which is nice, as I hate staying at places where there is not enough seating. Our room was large, had traditional decor with a gas fireplace, and was very nice. The sheets on the bed were so comfortable. The bathroom was updated and was large enough that two people can get ready without falling over each other. The inn is located within an easy walking distance from downtown Camden. Shops in this town are kind of quirky though.....just know that they ALL close before 6pm, so make sure to get your shopping in before dinner time. Overall loved the place and would highly recommend if you plan to stay in the Camden area.

Their breakfasts are amazing (and Dave is willing to share his recipes) 5. They attract repeat guests that are also super nice (we hope to become repeat guests ourselves) 6. It's not a huge -- it's a more intimate and quiet B&B that can accomodate all of their breakfast guests in one seating 7. They have their own chickens (and fresh eggs) 8. Lots of little/nice touches that add up to a wonderful stay Based on the various reviews on several sites we looked at before we booked our trip, we had every reason to suspect we would love our stay at Abigails. We were not disappointed!

Ed and Joan, the Innkeepers, made us feel very welcome and were very informative. The location is perfect for anyone taking a morning Ferry to Vinalhaven or North Haven. It is also convenient for a walk through Rockland's beautiful downtown shopping area. Most of the rooms have a view of the harbor. We chose a room without that view but found it perfect for our one night stay. The room was spotless, had a comfortable bed, plenty of drawer space and a private bathroom. There is 24 hour coffee and tea station and a welcoming front room full of reading materials, games, and other interesting items. The front porch is another perfect place to relax and view the harbor. Ed is also the chef and served a wonderful breakfast of tomato and broccoli frittata, mixed fruit, fresh baked muffins and scones. Breakfast also included Ed's very tasty cornmeal pancakes, which I topped off with genuine Maine Maple syrup! We will become regulars as we return to Vinalhaven Island each year to visit our family. And have already recommended it to other family members headed to the island!

The breakfast alone is worth the stay. Rooms are minimalist but functional, beds are comfortable and the place is clean. I can only imagine what it takes to upkeep a place like this so hats off to Ed and Joan. My only comment would be the tv's could use an upgrade (it was tiny) ... not that we even turned it on. A Black Friday run for some flat screens would be a major value upgrade. We also loved that they were open to a one night stay (weeknight) , which is exactly what we needed. The few other places we called all had 2 night minimums which was pretty frustrating for a last minute weeknight escape.

We woke up both mornings, to a delicious homemade breakfast which was served on the beautiful and glistening sun porch while lovely classical music played in the background. The service that was provided by both mother (Kim) and daughter (Lauren) was exquisite and warm. Our room was bright, sunny, clean and just the right size for the two of us, as was the private bathroom. Each room was decorated beautifully with vintage type plates throughout...a theme soooo fitting for the style and feel of this home. A special addition to our "sweet" stay, were the delicious home baked cookies that were left out in the afternoon. They were so good that we would peak around the corner each time we arrived back to the house, with hopes of seeing a new batch!

My wife and I stayed here four nights recently and used this location to not only spend time in Camden, but to visit other nearby towns like Rockland, Bath, Brunswick, Rockport, and Belfast. Don't forget to visit the Cellar Door Winery in neighboring Lincolnville. Everything worked in our Snug Harbor Suite to perfection. Housekeeping did a great job each morning cleaning and replacing whatever was needed. The innkeepers, Matt and Michelle are warm and some of the nicest people you will ever meet.
