Camden Maine Stay Inn

We’ve stayed in Camden several times in previous years at different inns. Both were unavailable for the days that we wanted so the Maine Stay Inn was recommended to us. Our stay there was absolutely perfect. Janis and Peter were so warm and welcoming. The breakfasts were delicious and Janis sometimes makes her own sausage. The accommodations were lovely and very comfortable. We even stayed an extra day. We are looking forward to visiting again soon.

The innkeepers, Janis and Peter, are everything one should want and expect as B & B hosts. The Inn is inviting and immaculate, the rooms are comfortable and private, and breakfast is expertly prepared and served. It's obvious that the two of them love living in Maine and welcoming travelers into their home.| I first visited the Maine Stay Inn for three days in October as a solo traveler and just returned from a second visit with my wife and two close friends. I'm already booked to go back again this summer to enjoy more of the beautiful state of Maine and the company two of its most wonderful inhabitants, Janis and Peter.

Camden Maine Stay Inn is incredible; from the inn’s historic features, rooms, breakfast and owners. It is a 5 Star Plus bed and breakfast in every aspect. The owners are so incredibly friendly and treat their guests like old friends or family. The rooms and inn are super nice and clean. We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts in multiple states, and never stayed at such a wonderful and incredibly nice bed and breakfast. We highly recommend the Camden Maine Stay Inn!

Staying at the Maine Stay Inn in Camden Maine is like coming home...only better! The inn manages to be both elegant and comfortable, and the hosts, Peter and Janis are like old friends. Everything about the experience - the rooms, the food, the town - was excellent. I can't overstate how enjoyable our stay was - highly recommended.

This is the fourth year my wife and I have stayed at the Camden Maine Stay Inn! We love the beautifully decorated rooms and common areas. We come to unwind and escape the busyness of life and the inn delivers year after year! Peter and Janis are fabulous hosts. Breakfasts are always a special treat! We love just reading, working on a puzzle, or the short walk to downtown to dine or shop. Thank you for another relaxing week away!

Camden Maine Stay was our annual trip to Camden for Christmas by sea festivities. Peter and Janis, the innkeepers, are always there to make you feel warm and comfy. Janis makes the “best” breakfast meals and waking to her cooking is the best alarm clock. |The cookies served in the afternoon and evening were so good that we always skipped the dessert when we ate out to get the cookies and coffee at the inn. |I must say they have the best coffee and we are very into good coffee.|The restaurants are all in walking distance and all great!|The town is like a Hallmark movie for Christmas.

My wife and I consider ourselves regulars at the Maine Stay Inn at this point and try to get up there from our home in southern New Hampshire a couple of times a year. The Inn is simply first class, with excellent rooms (attention to detail) and the finest and most sophisticated furnishings and artwork in sitting rooms and the lovely dining area. Peter and Janice are such nice hosts - they make us feel very welcome. The Inn is within walking distance of town and a short drive to good restaurants, even in the slower seasons. Highest possible marks for the Maine Stay Inn!

My husband and I had the most lovely stay at the Camden Maine Stay Inn! Peter and Janice were the most friendly and welcoming hosts, and our accommodation was very comfortable—and as a bonus, the breakfast was to die for! We would highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting the area.

Great inn to stay for few days. Peter and Janis are the owners. They made our stay extra special. They are friendly, caring couple and they love their house, you can tell. Every room is decorated a little different, which is fun, in my opinion. All through the house there are many art pieces that every art lover would appreciate. Breakfast is included. Janise is a great cook and she prepares delicious breakfasts. The inn is central and a walking distance from the center of this mid town. We are looking forward to coming back soon.

We had a wonderful and relaxing time here! Janis and Peter are gracious hosts who have clearly worked hard to create a lovely and comfortable inn. The rooms are beautifully appointed and spotless. Plus, our mattress was very comfy! The breakfasts were delicious and were served in the bright and cheerful sunroom. We definitely recommend the Maine Stay Inn, and I'm sure we'll return in the future!

This was my first bed and breakfast experience. I'm usually a private person and I don't connect with strangers right away, but this place was exceptional. Peter and Janis treated us like family and made us feel very comfortable. We got a nice welcome with info about the house and the community. The house was spotless and the room was well equipped including a modern air conditioner and heater that we can set ourselves. We enjoyed the dining area and walking outside in the garden. It is a great place to relax.

We loved our stay at Maine Stay Inn! Peter and Janis have an immaculate, beautiful Inn located a short walk from the harbor. Their breakfasts were the best we've ever had and the gorgeous grounds of their home made for such a peaceful getaway. Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with us! We especially appreciated the packet of information you provided- we hiked and sailed all in the same day!

Such a charming and warm place to stay in Camden! We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit here, our hosts were so gracious, the food delicious and the rooms very cozy! Pretty details everywhere made us feel welcome and right at home! And Paddy, their Irish Setter, is a love bug!!!!

This B&B is my favorite part of my Maine trip! Rooms are gorgeous, super cute, has so much personality and a New England home vibe to them. Breakfast is an amazing two course meal. My mom said this: "I wish I can stay here for a week just so I can try all the different kinds of breakfast they serve!" The two breakfasts I had (poached pear, Maine blueberry pancakes, yogurt with homemade granola, and artichoke quiche) was amazing and had a local touch to it. Stay here and make two new friends with innkeepers, Roberta and Claudio! You won't regret it. I definitely plan to come back soon :)

Very disappointed in the cancellation policy. A death in our family in Boston prevented us from staying at the Inn as part of a vacation trip to PEI. We lost over $190 for the room as " no one walked in looking for a room" so they keep the entire fee. We have no way to verify this or verify that they made the only room available on their site. They do look forward to seeing us again so but that will never happen. Please make sure you all complete your stay as apparently their cancellation policy is iron clad. They never really expressed any sympathy . Pretty cold. As a side note, our next night in PEI at the Dawson House B&B fully refunded our deposit. I guess Canadians are a bit more family oriented tan Maine folk?

Janis and Peter are easily some of most welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I took a solo last minute trip up the coast and stayed with them for an evening, and I can't recommend them enough. The house, cooking, and conversation was all excellent. I'm sure I'll return at some point in the near future, and I can't wait to go back

We stayed here for one night on our way from Boston to Acadia National Park and it was the perfect midway stop. We checked in a little late, I think 7:00/8:00ish and Peter was so welcoming and gave us a tour of the place and a little history. We missed dinner, and he offered to get us something, but we brought food with us from our stop at Whole Foods. Peter provided us with plates, water etc. Very nice! We met Janis in the morning as she served us a very delicious breakfast. Our bedroom was nice and comfy, bathroom was spacious. Peter and Janis were so sweet, welcoming and easy to talk to. We would definitely stay again.

I highly recommend the Camden Maine Stay Inn- it's charming and comfortable, and conveniently located a short walk from town. This was our second time staying at the Camden Maine Stay Inn, our first with new owners Janis and Peter Kesser. They are very friendly and recommended a great restaurant for dinner. We had a delicious, very abundant breakfast (frittata, fruit, bacon, blueberry coffee cake, two kinds of juice, coffee- what else could you possibly want?) served in the charming glass enclosed breakfast room overlooking a beautiful garden with flowering dogwood trees and white wicker chairs and tables. For a family of 3, we stayed in rooms consisting of 2 bedrooms and a sitting room with a private bath. Each room had a comfortable old fashioned iron framed bed and an easy chair at the top of this pretty Inn. I would definitely stay there again!

Now this is the B&B you expect stay in when travelling New England. With beautiful rooms, super breakfasts, and hosts that are engaging, it sets the standard for me. My wife and I stayed 2 nights and we are still raving about the location and ambiance. You have to stay here. You will NOT be disappointed.

Great place to stay! Claudio and Roberta are friendly, knowledgeable, multi -lingual. The decor is charming (if a little frou frou for me), chairs and couches comfortable, rooms large enough to move around in, and a great bed! Tv in one common room only, free wifi. Close to the village. Great breakfast , coffee and tea any time. Beautiful, lovingly maintained house.

Have just returned from a wonderful trip to Maine and stay 3 nights at the Main Stay Inn and loved every minute. The Maine Stay is a quintessential colonial home located on Route 1. The new owners Claudio and Roberta are lovely, as is their home. They have decorated with touches from Italy and created a cozy and clean place to stay! Breakfasts are wonderful...I recommend the combination of orange and their cranberry/blueberry juice...fabulous!

My wife and I booked the Maine Stay in May 2010 for a trip to the 2010 Lobster Festival the first week of August. Upon arrival in Camden on Wednesday, August 8, the temperature was in the mid-high 80's, and the house had no A/C which was in the high 70's to low 80's inside the house. Claudio, the Innkeeper and Proprietor, led us to our room, which was very small, and only had a small window unit to cool the room. We set the unit all the way down as cool as it would go, and it still did not cool the room after running all nite long. My wife woke up with her back hurting from the mattress. I reported our problems to Claudio, and told him we would be moving on to another Hotel since we had such an unpleasant nite. Claudio told me he would refund our money for the next nite that we were not going to stay if he could rent the room to someone else. Well, he did rent the room, and then reneged on our deal to refund my money. So if you want to stay in a small 80 degree room, and wake up with a backache for $225.00, the Mainstay is the place for you. You will even get lied to for free! This was the worse part of our trip, that was very pleasant until our encounter with The Mainstay. STAY AWAY FROM THE MAINE STAY!!!
