Accommodations
The Hawthorn Inn is a 1894 Queen Anne-style Victorian mansion situated on 1.2 acres of lawn and beautiful gardens. This elegant Camden, Maine bed and breakfast is one of the 66 homes listed in the National Register of Historical Places in the High Street Historic District. http://camdenhawthorn.com
Clean and green, Birchwood, a great place to stay in Camden, Maine, is solar-powered, water view lodging accommodation that is more like an agricultural bed & breakfast or European-style guest house than a typical motel, hotel or inn. http://www.birchwoodcamden.com/
Near Lincolnville Beach. Enjoy motel privacy with B&B hospitality. Rates are sensible, the welcome is genuine, and there are many special touches awaiting you. http://www.mountbattie.com
Restaurants
The below list is our recommendations for quality food in Mid-Coast Maine, from
Ada’s Kitchen, 449 Main St, Rockland.
Ada’s Kitchen serves affordable, delicious, and authentic Italian food using the finest local and imported Italian ingredients. https://www.adaskitchen.com/
Rustica Cucina Italiana, Rockland, offers a superb balance of traditional and eclectic Italian foods. Very affordable, excellent quality, and generous portions. Owner Chef John Stowe believes in using only the freshest ingredients, and insists on making as much from scratch as humanly possible. Small plates, individual pizza’s, entrees. In my opinion, the best Caesar salad in town, yummy marinated mussels, calamari cooked right. http://www.rusticamaine.com/
A large menu that includes Maine classic seafood dishes. Outside and indoor seating. Fabulous views.
The place where the locals meet for locally roasted coffee, WiFi, pastries, sandwiches, and soup. Hello, Hello Book shop on the premises, too. Relaxed atmosphere right on Main ST. https://www.rockcitycoffee.com/
