You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

NEW Updated 2 bedroom cottage 3 blocks from downtown Camden, Maine.

This sunny Cozy home-like cottage is set in a quiet neighborhood in Camden, Maine.
Enter through the kitchen, and nostalgia will overtake as you step into the 1950's; from the table and chairs to the red refrigerator; A fully stocked retro kitchen has all the amenities you need to make great meals, or if you prefer take-out, you'll thoroughly enjoy sitting at 'grandma's table' with formica top and chrome base.
Truly one of a kind.
Also an option is to have your morning coffee (local blueberry coffee perhaps?) and pastry on the patio deck with 1950's red chairs. The patio umbrella is ready to put up if you need a little shade.

The spacious living room boasts a leather couch, a comfy side chair and... yes, a retro cloth chair to balance it out as you watch the Big Screen TV; Are you working and need to do some business or keep up with whats going on at home? High Speed Wi-Fi and long distance phone service is available (or the retro, 'plugged in the wall' phone!)

The master bedroom includes a Queen size bed with reading lamp and nightstand, antique dresser with mirror. Plush pillow-top mattress with fluffy down comforters for cool summer nights. A closet complete with hangers and ironing board. Storage closet to the side for suitcase storage.

The second bedroom has a new double bed. Dresser, mirror and closet with extra bedding.

In the hallway you will find a convenient stackable washer and dryer. Laundry soap and extra paper towels, TP, towels available in the closet.

And the bathroom! Oh yes, of course, also 1950's! with the fun green (not avocado green... no) sink, tub with shower and toilet complete this cute little bathroom.

Now it's time to explore Camden! Camden Cottage is located halfway between Portland and Bar Harbor, and is the ideal spot to stay and visit all points in Maine.

If Newspapers are outdated in your life, grab your i-pad, computer or phone and enjoy the hi speed Wi-Fi,. With the amenities at this cute cottage (Retro!!!) it might be tempting to put in a few hours of work; but try to squash the temptation to work while on vacation- instead head on out for a short walk to the Camden harbor and enjoy breakfast at the Camden Deli overlooking the waterfall from Lake Megunticook. Indeed, did you know the river runs right under part of the town of Camden? It's a gorgeous sight, especially from Main St. as you peruse the many unique shops- do stop to take a look at the flowers, the river- and perhaps a cup of coffee at Boynton McKay's, a former Apothecary shop.
Where else will you enjoy coffee with such unique displays as medicine bottles, bedpans and scales? Something to write home about for sure. Or text home about. Or tweet, Instagram, facebook. Better yet, just invite your friends out yonder back home to join you on your next trip here to Camden!

Looking for a Schooner ride? Choose from several in beautiful Camden Harbor. Hike the trails, visit the Islands.
Within a few minutes drive you can Tee it up at some of the best golf courses Camden area has to offer. Can you say Samoset!

Our Stay

The house is on the smaller side and perfect for 2 or 3 people. It’s about a 10 minute walk to downtown so, the location is good as well.

Wonderful Camden cottage

The cottage was in excellent condition and a perfect location for exploration of Camden as well as surrounding area which for us included Bar Harbor and Monhegan Island. Lanita was a wonderful host who checked in to confirm we were happy with accommodations and offered recommendations for local attractions and restaurants.

Clean, Cute and Charming in Camden

This cute little house was quite the perfect little place for us. It was definitely the cleanest place we have ever rented! It was perfectly located for a walk in to town as well as for adventures on the road. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The mattress was just how I like them to be. The bathroom was tight but the space was well used. The owner politely contacted us before coming over to plant some flowers. We really enjoyed our stay here. I would highly recommend to a couple, or a couple with 1-2 small children. Thank you so much for letting us borrow your lovely home while we visited Maine!

Very clean in a neighborhood just outside of town. Beds could be a little softer, but that is a personal preference thing. Great little town and jumping off spot for things to do. Owner leaves a really good book with lists of places to go and eat

The Little Yellow Cottage

This was a very cute retro decorated 2 bedroom house. The location is in a quiet neighbourhood and an easy walk into town. Camden has some nice shops, not just all tourist t-shirt stores and some really nice restaurants. Our host, Lanita, was very helpful and if we needed anything was quick to respond. The weather was so nice for October we enjoyed having a glass of wine on the back deck in the afternoon.

Stay here when you’re in Camden!!

This cottage is soooo cute! There’s 2 bedrooms, but it was only my husband and I, so we used the 2nd bedroom to house our bags. The house is just as described and we loved having some outdoor space to have a cocktail before walking to eat. The walk to downtown restaurants is an easy 1/2 mile. The house had everything we needed plus some. We enjoyed reading all the ‘Maine’ books while sipping our morning coffee. Just an awesome stay!!
