About this property

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If Newspapers are outdated in your life, grab your i-pad, computer or phone and enjoy the hi speed Wi-Fi,.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!

Rent by the week, or for a month. Winter monthly rental available at a reduced rate

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.

Cute cottage
This cottage is very cute. However, it is also very small especially the bathroom. My bad I should have realized that this very cute old homes had tiny bathrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Lanita Medina

Host profile image
In 1994 we packed up our family of 5 and moved from California to Maine; when we drove through Camden we said '' this is it! what can be cuter than this little town!'' and we bought the little cottage which was at that time a dental office. Within a couple of years our dental practice outgrew the cottage and when we moved our practice to 100 Elm St. we knew that converting it back to a cottage would be the perfect guest house for our friends and family. Now you get to enjoy staying in it like our guests do!

Why they chose this property

Being in a quiet neighborhood yet only 3 blocks from downtown, hiking and oceanside, it's perfect for vacationing. And in the wintertime we are 2 miles from the Snow Bowl down hill skiing and yearly Toboggan races.
Participate in the yearly Camden International Film Festival "CIFF"; Pop-Tech - all within walking distance of the cottage.
If you are here for a course at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship- you're nice and close too! Also only 1 mile from the Maine Photographic Workshops classrooms.

What makes this property unique

Camden is unique because it is one of the few places where you can ski in the winter and see the ocean while you ski.
