Hartstone Inn & Hideaway

We had a great stay! I booked last-minute and expected to be shoved into their smallest room, but I was pleasantly surprised when we were assigned a suite with a separate living room, two TVs, an extremely comfortable king-size bed, a jacuzzi, and a gas fireplace.

Getting to our room (the Sunflower Suite) required a climb up a very steep staircase. This wasn't a problem for us--and, ultimately, we enjoyed having the whole top floor of one of the inn's buildings to ourselves--but it could be for others. Breakfast was pretty basic (eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, fruit, yogurt, pastries both days of our stay), but it was included in the price of the room, which we liked.

The inn is lovely - a mix of old charm and modern comfort. The amenities are great, and there is everything you need for a very pleasant stay. The team were beyond nice, making sure we had a great stay (which we appreciated that much more given we’d just come from a few days of camping and were feeling pretty rough after an Airbnb we’d booked had given us an unpleasant surprise). I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!!

Nothing, it truly is a lovely lovely place

Hideaway is separate from main building and very densely populated on second floor. Will all B&Bs you get trades and this one had a large downstairs area with coffee maker. Downside was rooms had poor acoustic separation which in my case resulted in hearing snoring much of the night and “voices” in the shower. Bed was giant and comfortable and windows opened wide to quiet backyard.

Noise control

There was a minor mistake with my booking but without question the situation was resolved beyond my expectations at no additional cost to me. The staff was friendly and the room was beyond comfortable and spacious. It was everything I needed for my personal self care retreat!

There's absolutely nothing I didn't love about this place.

Loved the homey yet luxurious feel, the room was very comfortable and the service was super friendly. The breakfasts were delicious and the perfect way to start the day while only having to come downstairs! Right in the middle of downtown Camden, you can explore the many shops on foot, eat out, have a drink and not worry about taking the car. An excellent place to "hideaway" from the stress of normal life for a bit!

Nothing!! Was a little drizzly one day but they don't control the weather 😉

The Hartstone Inn was more lovely than I could have ever expected! The location couldn’t be more perfect for a stay in Camden - it’s just a moment’s walk from the harbor and all of the dining and shopping spots - not to mention that Camden is a wonderful location if you’re hoping to stay in one place and travel all over Maine. The city is beautiful and charming. Our stay at Hartstone was perfect from beginning to end - it overflows with hospitality and is a destination in itself, with a full bar and kitchen offering cookies in the afternoon for guests, a cocktail hour in the afternoon with specialty cocktails and hours d’oeuvres enjoyed in their lovely sitting rooms or beautiful patio/garden spaces, and meals created by their award-winning chef and owner, Chef Michael Salmon! Rooms and washrooms are very well appointed and continue that friendly and welcoming vibe with thoughtful additions like glass bottles of water and chocolate waiting for you. The staff at Hartstone are exceptional people - we felt so welcome the moment that we walked in! We loved our stay at Hartstone and I can’t say enough about it - I’ll recommend it to anyone I hear is headed to Maine. Thank you for a more than lovely stay!

Nothing - we loved every thing about it!

The Inn is excellently located near the heart of Camden, and although on the main road, noise was not a problem. The breakfasts were excellent, as was the dinner, which we had one night of our stay, and the provision of tea at any time was very welcome!

The room was relatively cosy for two people with luggage! Our bathroom was across the corridor, which was OK but not ideal.

Our room was beautiful. We had exceptional breakfast and dinner - their chef is top notch and creative too. The staff is amazing, super friendly and welcoming. Management / owners are onsite and super helpful. Clearly they take pride in everything they do. Though not directly on the waterfront, the place is super close to the waterfront and the downtown. So you are close to everything but also removed from the crowds. The grounds are really nice too. You won't want to leave.

It's not for folks who must have ocean view. But there is nothing to improve on in terms of the operation. This place aims for perfection.

Gourmet food.servicesgreat,great loction

Wi Fi is slow,limited selection .for TV channels,could have a better TV.Our room was on the third floor.We climbed 2 flights of narrow stairs to reach our room.We are in our mid to late 70+.Maybe there will be people of similar age who cannot climb the stairs.It would be great if we know in advance .

Location was great, could walk to town and through quaint neighborhood streets. Included on site parking and breakfast at no extra cost. Location had cute patio area with electric fire pits. Enjoyed the artwork throughout the Inn.

The linens and towels were a bit worn, would have liked nicer quality linens. We had a room with a separate bath, would have been nice to have robes for leaving the room. Coffee was not available 24/7. A Keurig in the common area would have been nice.
