This was such a fun experience. The inn looks a bit like a castle and feels mysterious inside. Our room had a lovely jacuzzi tub and four-poster king bed. Breakfast was delicious with either table service or room service with 3 courses. If you're a bigger eater, you might be hungry so bring some snacks. There are keurig coffee machines on each floor and it would be nice if there was a fridge and microwave in the common areas. In the basement, there was a game room with puzzles, movies, books, and a dart board. Carisa was super kind and helpful in answering our questions. Management uses text to

I would recommend anyone visiting the Camden area stay here! The food is exquisite, the hospitality is delightful, and the experience is unforgettable. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. If you can swing it, go for the penthouse suite. The views are AMAZING! We celebrated our honeymoon here and had the best time. It is also within walking distance to town.

Massive old stone mansion set on rolling expansive lawn. Breakfast is white linen, gourmet and french press coffee. Rooms a lovely mix of antiques and new. Sue the co-owner is the perfect mix of charm, wit and warmth. Highly recommended.

Absolutely Incredible Stay, the Arundel room was the most luxurious place to spend the week with our own little private deck and a tub that could probably fit an entire Marching Band.
My girlfriend and I not only loved every breakfast but one of the high points of the day would be the text we received to get an idea of what the next one would be. The grounds are Immaculate and this is one of the most unique buildings on Route 1 heading north. I would absolutely do this again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful and breathtaking! As we were driving into town, we were taking in the harbor and the wonderful scenery. The inn popped up before us in all its spectacular glory and our mouths dropped. We asked ourselves, "are we really staying there?""Is this a dream?" Everything about this place from the beautifully, themed rooms to the savory food, and absolutely wonderful staff is undeniably amazing. Thank you so much! We can't wait to return!
