Best Location Camden, Maine Bed and Breakfast

Welcome Home! Camden Windward House is often referred to as Camden’s “best location” bed and breakfast. Situated at the base of Mt. Battie, Camden Windward House is the first inn in the Historical district, located just steps away from Camden Harbor and Main St, making it an ideal home for exploring everything Camden has to offer, by foot. Frommers says “the best way to enjoy Camden is to park your car”. We have onsite parking for all of our guests, so there is no need to keep circling the area looking for public parking or fight somebody for a space!

One of the most popular comments from our guests is how they feel right at home while staying at Camden Windward House. We strive to provide an authentic bed and breakfast experience in a relaxed, yet comfortable setting. After a long day of sightseeing, you can sit around the fire pit in our newly renovated backyard that overlooks Mt. Battie!

Unlike most bed & breakfasts in Camden, we offer a “Jersey diner style” breakfast menu, where the choice of entrees is yours. Our Camden bed and breakfast dining accommodations are all private tables, allowing you the opportunity to dine intimately while controlling the amount of interaction you have with others.

We know that you can pick to stay at many other accommodations in and around Camden, but if you stay with us we promise you will have the best bed and breakfast experience leaving you to already plan your next trip with us. You will get a great home-cooked breakfast and comfortable hotel-like accommodations in a homely New England environment where everyone is welcome.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to book! Whether you are a seasoned B&B traveler, a curious first-timer, or looking for a Camden romantic getaway, the upscale yet casual environment of our Camden bed and breakfast is an intentional and deliberate piece of the #windwardexperience . You will leave as friends and become part of the Windward Family!

things to do

Camden is often referred to as Maine’s “prettiest” seacoast village. Situated where the mountains meet the sea at the heart of beautiful Penobscot bay, Camden is centrally located midway between Portland and Bar Harbor and is convenient to all mid-coast destinations making it an ideal base for day-trips during your Maine vacation. There are over 30 miles of hiking trails in Camden Hills State Park, accessible right from our backyard, if you prefer to stay local!

Fodor’s Travel says “Camden is the perfect picture-postcard of a Maine coastal village”
Lonely Planet agrees and says “Camden is one of the prettiest sites in Maine” and even puts Maine at the number four destination for world travels in 2020!
Frommer’s states “A quintessential coastal Maine town at the foot of wooded Camden Hills, the affluent village of Camden sits on a picturesque harbor that no Hollywood movie set could improve on.”
Travel + Leisure mentions “Surf-to-fork food, Wyeth paintings, and pebbly beaches—the Midcoast is where even Mainers go to find the real Maine.”

The perfect place to stay in Camden

Couldn't have had a better experience. The hosts were friendly and informative, the food was delicious and the room was just adorable. Exactly the kind of quaint little New England B&B that I hoped it would be. And within walking distance of downtown Camden! Just perfect.

Close to Everything!

Friendly, knowledgeable hosts; roomy & appealing surroundings; trail to Mt. Battie overlook is a short walk from the back door; Town kayak/canoe/boat landing close by;
short walk to downtown shops and numerous waterfront dining choices. Oh, and a great cooked-to-order breakfast!

Best vacation we've had in years!

"Bliss" is the perfect word to describe Camden Windward House.

Serene, quiet, beautiful grounds, comfortable beds with an ultra-clean and charming turn of the century atmosphere. My family and I relished in being attended to, accommodated, and quite frankly SPOILED.

Excellent service and personal care was the key to the outstanding Windward House experience.

A daily, home-cooked, made to order breakfast with local farm-to-table ingredients was FABULOUS! (Gluten-Free & Vegan options are available too!) A perfect start to rev up for hiking, sailing, touring, shopping, etc. Evenings were spent in the gardens by fireside reconnecting with family & friends - complete with readily available libations.

If you are looking for the perfect place to relax and recharge - Windward House is it.

BEST B&B IN CAMDEN ...HANDS DOWN !!!!

We have stayed in Camden many times at different locations but decided to change it up a bit and choose a b&b that we have never stayed in before. We are so happy we did. Windward House was so pleasant, the rooms were spacious, breakfast was great and the gardens were beautiful. Since the new owners took it over several years ago they have worked non stop to upgrade every aspect of the inn. Dan and Matt were unbelievable hosts and couldn't have been nicer!! We had a huge room with its own entrance and large deck ( The Quarterdeck ) and what's great about this Inn is that you can basically leave your car parked and walk to the Camden city center as it's only a block away!!

Lovely B&B with delicious breakfast

My husband and I had a great time staying at the Windward House in Camden. Matt and Dan we very hospitable and we loved the delicious breakfast. It was a nice bonus to be able to select from a menu of different options.

Mountain View chalet

Stayed in Quarterdeck- so cozy with fireplace and wake up with beautiful views of Mt Battie and all the fall color trees in foreground. Dan and Matt are great hosts we enjoyed getting to know. Their property is immaculate and excellent location so close to town. Made to order breakfasts were delicious as were the “Barney” (Bloody) Mary’s. Great place to stay for a Camden visit!
