We really enjoyed our stay! The place is super clean and the lay out and furnishings add to the comfort! Love the outside table and chairs! Everything has been very well thought out…even a white noise machine. Not to mention you couldn’t ask for a better location in Camden!

This place was great. Not a huge studio, but we got all our luggage in and that's all that's saying something. Nice little kitchen, no oven or "hot plate" but they have a microwave and airfryer. The room opens to a patio with the river running by. Nice place to sit and have coffee.
Everything was very clean and the location was great for walking into town. Camden is a great little town with good Maine historic houses to appreciate. Easy to walk around.
Free parking very close by.
Host was very available and helpful. The water is pumped up from the units on this floor, so the pump runs when you run the water. It makes an ungodly noise, so don't run any water if you get up in the middle of the night!

Great downtown location, modern and clean with tasteful touches. Looks brand new! All the kitchen amenities and beautiful balcony with rushing water beneath you. Will definitely stay again!
Thank you! N/A
