What we love about this stay
Book dinner here before you even think about rooms — the multi-course tasting menu is the real reason people return to Hartstone, and seatings are limited. Request a table near the window for the last light filtering through the garden. Mornings, skip the safe choice and ask the kitchen what's new; the chefs riff on local ingredients and the off-menu specials tend to be the best thing on offer. For rooms, push for one facing the rear garden — the street-side ones catch foot traffic noise in summer. On your first evening, take the ten-minute walk up Mount Battie just before sunset. The harbor view from the summit, with Camden's schooners catching golden light below, reframes the entire stay.

Amazing place, very close to everything in downtown Camden. Walgreens next door and coffee shop within .2 miles. Great restaurant as well! Highly recommended!

Loved my stay! Such a cute, cozy, charming place. All staff members were kind and friendly, Kaya and Megan were lovely! And the woman helping me at breakfast, I can't remember her name. Jacuzzi bath in the room was awesome. Great location as well, very walkable from town. I didn't want to leave! Would love to stay here again.

We stayed here for one night during the week in November while vacationing in Maine. We did not book ahead - just stopped in and checked for availability. We stayed in the Florence room which was on the first floor near the front door and lounge area. It was pretty quiet but thankfully there was a white noise machine in the room for those of us who like to sleep with a fan on but didn’t bring one on the trip. The room was very clean. The bathroom was pretty small but since we weren’t staying more than a night it was fine. The person who checked us in - sorry I don’t remember her name - was friendly and hospitable. We had breakfast in the morning and it was very good. Parking is behind the building. The room rate was reasonable. The location is good.

We didn’t stay overnight so can’t rate the rooms, but we came for a drink after lunch down the road which turned into an awesome wine tasting with their Somm Steve! Plus a mocktail for my husband by Meghan, their GM, who is just such a pleasure to chat with. He LOVED the drink — and it was such an experience. She asked his palate and she made something entirely custom for him. Both she and Steve made our afternoon-into-evening the best way to kick off my birthday weekend! The wine tasting had generous pours and such fun facts all about each one plus a cool exercise in trying the same wine across different shaped glasses! We enjoyed some sourdough and bleu cheese, too, which was to die for. Thank you Hartstone! We can’t wait to come back for dinner and maybe a staycation!

My husband and I have been going here once a year for the past seven years. We loved the previous owners and chef, and were curious about the new ownership and restaurant. We were not disappointed! We love getting a drink in the cozy little bar area after check-in. They offer a great wine list and wine/food pairing recommendations by the sommelier, Steve. Megan, who checked us in, was also very pleasant and hospitable. Our dinner was excellent - highly recommend the French onion soup. My husband's filet mignon was cooked perfectly. It's really nice having breakfast included each morning with the stay. We stayed in the Normandy suite, which we really enjoyed for the loft. The suite is attached to the main building but around the side so it is quiet but within steps of going to breakfast and dinner. Hartstone still has the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! Wonderful place to recharge and relax!
