    What can I say about the Blue Harbor House Inn... first of all, Matt and Michelle are so welcoming. They truly are amazing host. Where to start... The inn... this inn is situated within walking distance of downtown Camden, ME and is very convenient to get to. This inn has 10 rooms, dining area, little lobby area with community things such as a ice, bottles of water to take to your room, brochures for local attractions, games, dvd, etc. the history of this Inn is pretty cool. When we decided to travel to Maine, my mother said please stay here they have amazing breakfast every morning! I like food and I trust my mom when it comes to matters of food! Breakfast- each breakfast was absolutely amazing! Two course breakfast with blue harbor house inn coffee! They even have their own blend of coffee! Matt is the evil genius In the kitchen for the most part but don't let michelle fool you. Her French toast was probably the best I have ever had. Hands down. Sorry mom... Accommodations. Sorry didn't get a pic before we moved in for 4 days! But the room was nice. Michelle was kind enough to upgrade us to a little larger room before we arrived. The Queen bed, Little snug for the wife and I but who cares! ( I am a big guy and like my room!) The room was simple yet perfect for us, we did a lot of exploring the area. Afternoon snacks served at 4pm daily for all guest! These sweet treats were delicious.... again Michelle's banana muffins with a sweet crumble on top are to die for! Book your stay here! Tell them Blake recommended the place! They might actually remember me!

    Such a great bed and breakfast. Michelle was great and so accommodating. The beds are super comfy and the breakfast was amazing. We stayed in charter house - perfect for 4 .

    Lovely bed and breakfast, the owners were so nice!! Clean, comfortable, you feel like you are staying in their home. Breakfast was yummy as was the afternoon lemon cake !!! Michelle was just amazing, from helpful tips to leaving us chocolate strawberries for our anniversary!!!! Short walk to the harbor, perfect location!!

    We stayed here for 2 nights two weeks ago it was great Terry and Annette a Scottish couple own the BB. It is in walking distance to the town so we never took our car unless we ventured out to other parts of Camden and surrounding towns. The room we had was spacious the bed was very comfortable shower was unreal with jets and steam, along with a sound system built in. Over stuffed huge chairs that were so firm and very relaxing, along with a gas fireplace. Breakfast is included homemade granola with fresh vanilla yogurt and eggs of your choice. Every morning it was something different, bottled water and afternoon cookies and tea compliments.

    My husband and I had a marvelous time at this quaint bed and breakfast in Camden! Our hosts provided a 2 course breakfast daily with sweet and savory food and afternoon sweet treats of cookies and lemon cake. You will be happy with your stay in their rooms. We stayed in the Snug Harbor room with a separate sitting and king sized bed. Both Michelle and Matt were welcoming and helpful with activities to do. This truly a gem!

    It's those little touches in the breakfast room that made for a great beginning to the day.

    We had the most lovely and restful time at the Blue Harbor House. We stayed in the Chart House suite which had very comfortable mattress and luxuriously smooth bed linens. The bathroom had strong water pressure. This particular room has a small anteroom with two recliners and a tv and a second room for sleeping with a second tv. Air conditioner was sufficient but seemed very loud but once we got used to it, lulled us to sleep. . Windows were tiny and only one had a screen. Carpet has seen better days and this particular room is entirely wood paneled. Fixtures are a bit dated BUT in the way of a thrifty relative who doesn't see the point of changing our serviceable and good quality items just because styles have changed. Everything was very very clean, very very comfortable and served its purpose. We didn't get to partake of the afternoon snacks as we arrived late BUT the next mornings breakfast was outstanding in a beautiful country style room. Homemade granola parfait with fresh fruit and an individual quiche. My traveling companion was able to have an omelette made instead of the quiche at the last minute which he greatly appreciated. The host was amazing -- kind and friendly and full of great suggestions for local activities and meals. This B and B reminded me of the homey hospitality we received when traveling through Great Britain many years back. Really lovely and hospitable experience.

    Just love this place. Room was quiet, sheets/bed were amazing (honestly I want to buy the sheets). The breakfast was better than what we could have ordered in a fancy restaurant. There are lots of places to choose from to stay, but you won't be disappointed here. We will be back!

    Delicious Quiche Lorraine!

    See all

    We wanted to just love this place, but there were enough little problems to only rate it 3 stars…read more Parking is a HUGE problem. There are a limited amount of spaces in front with zero room to maneuver your car to fit in a space. There is a public lot right next door for a fee and hopefully you'll get a space. We were in the Waterfront King Suite. The room was lovely and had a great view!! However, getting hot water was inconsistent. We had noisy neighbors who we could hear using the hairdryer at 6:42am, and shouting down the hall and slamming their door at 7:30am. At 10:45pm there were sounds like chairs being dragged over hardwood for about 30 minutes. They do give you an opportunity to order breakfast that is delivered to your room and a time you specify. However, both days I had rancid milk for my coffee. I wrote a note to the staff after the first morning, and they served spoiled milk to me again on the second morning!! The food was also vastly under seasoned. I ordered the quinoa bowl both days and got two totally different dishes. And, my wife's potatoes were completely burnt. So for the money we spent on the room, I cannot recommend this place due to parking, noise, and food quality.

    This hotel did not live up to its online reputation. Maybe they have staffing challenges in this…read morepart of the world...but who doesn't? Maybe pay more to folks. First off, the front desk would go 15-30 minutes without being staffed. This made it particularly difficult when we needed something - I sat across from the desk for 15 minutes at one point - but that's not enough to warrant a negative review. In fact, I waited this morning to convey this message in person, but the only people in the lobby were customers waiting for help. What does warrant a review is our breakfast foul up. This may sound like a minor issue, however in the world of customer service it absolutely is not. Here's what happened: the hotel provides breakfast in the room. We had two rooms. My daughter mistakenly put my room number on her breakfast card, so they delivered both breakfasts to my room. Only they didn't deliver both COMPLETE breakfasts - they only delivered a portion of the breakfasts. When we inquired about the mixup, we were shown our cards - no apology, only a hint of "here's where the fault lies, and it's with you." However, no one bothered to ask us before delivering an incomplete breakfast as to whether this was actually what we wanted (and bear in mind, this is not a big hotel). After that, there were a series of further mixups before staff actually sorted things out and got complete breakfasts to our rooms. I don't have a big problem with the mixup. I do have a problem with the reaction and the confused resolution. However, the blame here is not on the staff: it's on ownership. It's very clear that at critical points of the day, the hotel has a real staffing issue. It's also clear that ownership hasn't adequately trained staff on "Customer Service 101." The poor worker was clearly frazzled and could use some training and some help. As a result, this hotel did not earn the premium it charges.

We started at the bar waiting for a table and the bartender was friendly and helpful as we perused the menu. We sampled several small plates (lamb kebab, chicken skewer,...) which were tasty.

Even though we had a short 1 night stay, we enjoyed the facilities. We were able to message the front desk prior to arrival to confirm that we could check in early. The parking is a little tough as it is shared parking lot with a brewery and restaurant. Our room overlooked the marina and it would have been great to sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning! There is a little closet that hods the Keurig machine, microwave, mini fridge, and ice bucket. The room was spacious and had just enough room for 2 people. The bathroom was well stocked with towels and even had an option to warm the floors. The bathtub is huge! I liked the many options in the shower for the water direction (waterfall, front, or handheld). I liked that the waterfall option was angled as well as the front - aims toward the chest, not the eyes! The hotel is conveniently located in town - you can walk to many restaurants as well as the very cute library in town. We actually walked to Rockport for dinner but please note it is rather difficult to get ride share services (Uber/Lyft) so we had to call a local taxi company. I would definitely stay here again during our next trip to Camden!

The room was cheaper than many hotels in the area and the location was great, within walking distance to stores and restaurants. They also have a designated parking area, which is convenient. Everyone working there was very nice. That being said, the hotel would benefit from an update with a little more attention to detail. For instance, the bathroom exhaust fan was dusty and there was some sloppy paint work around the towel bar, kick boards, and outlets. The hair dryer outlet was very loose and needs to be replaced. The walls are thin and we could hear the people talking in the room next to our room. The bed was very soft, lumpy, and uncomfortable. The bathroom door was swollen and difficult to close. The second floor has exposed pipes in the hallway. The popcorn ceiling in our room immediately contributes to a dated feeling. An extension cord ran from the basement under the door to the front of the building, with a series of extension cords running out front. A few upgrades would make a big difference, even if it means increasing the rate. We will look for other accommodations , should we return.

I believe the outside was newly painted as well. The little creek that runs under the inn is cute. The place is not pet friendly. Contains about 9 rooms. Paid $155 for the night on a Saturday in September during covid. The reason I removed 2 stars is because there was no check-in process & needs some updates for sure. When we arrived there was no one there but our key was left outside in an envelope. Now I understand not having a desk attendant all day because there is only 9 people checking in, max. However, I couldn't find an email anywhere that stated the check-in process. I assume crime is very low in the area so I guess my key being out is ok. As others mentioned, the rooms are decorated with items you would see in your grandma's house. Since it was covid, there is no breakfast or anything. I understand not serving due to covid but other B&B's found ways to improvise. I was disappointed that there was not even a Keurig or small coffee pot in the room. No bottled water left or anything to help. Just a note that said to not use the dishes in the kitchen & bags of ice in the freezer. Other B&B's along the Maine coast had coffee in room & served grab-n-go breakfast items for about the same price paid here. I'm sure the family that owns this is nice, local people so I feel bad for not giving 5 stars but I have to be honest. Was trying to support local rather than a chain hotel.
