Charming Cottage a Stroll to Camden Harbor-new OPENING 8/30-9/9--will go fast!

(NOTE: RENTALS START ON SATURDAY unless otherwise confirmed with owner.) Situated on a quiet, residential street this adorably updated, circa 1900 farmhouse is just a FIVE MINUTE WALK TO DOWNTOWN CAMDEN and its picturesque harbor. Bright and cheery, the two bedroom home offers comfortable furnishings and everything you need in your 'home-away-from-home' including a deck and private brick patio for outdoor dining and relaxing. The interior features restored wide plank pine floors upstairs and an ANTIQUE CLAW TUB, as well as a NEW shower, in the second floor bathroom. SIMMONS BEAUTY REST PLUSH MATTRESS SET in Master Bedroom. Downstairs there is a well stocked full kitchen with CORIAN countertops, separate sunny eating area seating six, a spacious family room and separate living/TV room with 32' FLAT SCREEN SMART TV which can be closed off via french doors from the rest of the house. We offer Direct TV stream (entertainment package), NETFLIX and Amazon Prime TV.

Camden is a lovely coastal town offering something for everyone. Enjoy views of MOUNT BATTIE from the front stoop or take a 30 minute moderate hike to the summit from the TRAIL HEAD at the AT THE TOP OF THE STREET. Those less adventuresome can drive to the top via the Mount Battie State Park entrance. Either way the reward is a marvelous view of the harbor, bay, and outlying islands. Bald Rock Trail in Camden Hills State Park was listed as one of the world's most scenic walks (Departures, Adam H Graham, Mar/Apr 2012)

If you would rather not cook your own lobsters in our convenient outdoor propane lobster and shellfish pot, take a walk to the wharf for a lobster feast at Peter Ott's on the harbor, enjoy a harbor view from The VIEW rooftop bar at 16 Bay View hotel, wonderful dining in town at FRESH & CO., and award winning LONG GRAIN (reservations recommended) among others. Or you can chose to hang out with the locals at Cuzzy's and enjoy a Maine micro-brew beer and play some pool. You may also want to reserve a spot on one of the various wooden sailing schooners for a tour of Penobscot Bay or learn to kayak with Maine Sports Kayak Tours. Town events include the Camden Food and Wine Festival in June, Country Roads Artist & Artisans Tour in September and Lobster Festival in nearby Rockand In July. Camden also offers a wide variety of restaurants, gourmet food and wine purveyors and unique shops where you can find upscale clothing, local pottery/art, antiques,
and more.

Another lovely stay!

This was our 3rd stay in Camden at Wicker Cottage and, once again, it was lovely. The cottage is charming, well appointed, immaculate and perfectly positioned for easy walks down to Camden Harbor or for scenic drives along the Maine coast. As always, our host was most attentive and gracious. We'll be back in 2025!

Cozy Cottage in a Beautiful Maine town.

We had a very nice time in the house and surrounding area. The cottage is as advertised - very comfy! The location is convenient to sights up and down the coast and there are a number of nice restaurants and a couple of lobster shacks within 1/2 hour of the cottage.

This is our second time staying at Wicker Cottage - we walked in and said "We're home!". The cottage is charming, beautifully maintained, scrupulously clean, thoroughly stocked and within an easy 5 minute walk to Camden Village and the harbor. Couldn't have asked for anything more - we'll be back again!

Camden Maine - Wicker Cottage

The property was in a great location and had everything you could possibly want. The decor fit a water/mountain location theme and yard landscaped beautifully. Our host reached out to check in as to how we were doing. Maine sites were breath taking. We really enjoyed our visit. This was our first time reserving a vacation spot through VRBO and is was a good experience.

Lovely Camden Cottage

Such a sweet cottage in the seaside village of Camden. It was close to town, the waterfront/marina, restaurants & shops. Very nice little bay for booking a sailboat ride. The cottage was roomy with two sitting rooms, the beds were comfortable, nice bathrooms & kitchen, and a great location! Such a nice, comfy place to unwind and relax after a day of being out. Don't miss the mint brownies at the Deli in town!

Just lovely!

Wicker Cottage is as lovely in person as it appears on VRBO. The owner has it extremely well appointed with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and elsewhere. The furnishings are comfortable, the grounds are beautifully planted and the location is within an easy walk to Camden harbor and the center of the village. Thoughtful touches are everywhere - we couldn't have been more pleased!

Close to historic downtown.

The Wicker Cottage is situated in a quiet neighborhood and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasant one. We especially liked that you can walk to historic downtown in less than 5 minutes. If you like trail hiking, the Mount Battie trail head is just a short walk up the street from the house. And of course Susan was very quick to reply to any questions we had about the place and surroundings. This is a place we would not hesitate to stay at again on our next trip to Camden.

A Gem in Camden

Following our GPS, we drove through the picturesque town of Camden, where the streets buzzed with life and the harbor was filled with magnificent sailing vessels. Our approach to Wicker Cottage was filled with joyous anticipation, and it did not disappoint. The cottage is beautiful, artistically decorated, and a delight to stay in. Every detail was crafted with loving attention. Michelle was wonderful, offering excellent advice about local attractions, restaurants, and shopping. The gardens are lush, with plenty of sunny nooks perfect for reading or enjoying a coffee. If we could give a 6-star rating, we would. We will be back next year and plan to stay longer than our six days of bliss. Sean & Suzanne

Almost Perfect

The cottage was adorable, exactly as pictured, and in a fabulous location on a quiet side-street but only a 5-minute walk to downtown. And Camden is an ideal base for trips to the islands, Castine, even a day trip to Acadia National Park. (Just be aware that the stairs are VERY steep, almost like a ladder. We're an older couple & they were a challenge. I'd also be concerned about young children.)

Lovely Charming cottage

We had a lovely time staying in this charming house on a quiet street, which is just so nice that it is walking distance right into town/the harbor. Michelle’s home was so accommodating and she was very available if we had any questions. We will be back! And in case anyone loves to cook, there are so many dishes and pots and pans including two cast-irons which we used the most! Plenty of wine glasses etc. The lady across the street asked to keep the porch light off because it shines in her bedroom window. Just fyi for future guests!
