Captain Frank Swift established Maine's first passenger schooner fleet while living in this white clapboard village landmark inn. Originally built for lumber merchant Simon Hunt during the presidency of James Madison, our house retains it's wonderful wide pine floors, chair rails, exposed beams, intricate moldings, and five fireplaces, one with a beehive oven. 

Between 8:00 and 9:30 each morning, you'll be served a full, hearty breakfast in the dining room. The menu changes daily, but always features inn specialties such as stuffed French toast, crepes Chantilly, Belgian waffles with fresh fruit, Brie and Sausage casserole and creme brulee French toast.

The inn is open year round. Summers are ideal here on the coast, and in the autumn the foliage is stunning. In the winter, a restorative peacefulness settles over the village; and in the spring our gardens announce the arrival of the season with the blossoming of flowers. 

All rooms have private baths, air conditioning and four poster beds. Gas fireplaces are included in Hunt and Swift rooms and our new luxurious suites. Wireless internet is available for your laptop.

In Camden: We are 1.7 miles north of the Rockport Route 90 Route 1 intersection. You will see our white-clapboard inn and our sign with a copper schooner on it on the right side of the road, at 72 Elm Street (Camden, Maine 04843). 

Directions from the North & Bangor Airport: Depending upon which access road you take out of the airport, you will need to take either route 222 East or route 2 East. Both roads will intersect, at different points, with route 9 and route 1A. Go South towards Hampden. At Hampden, route 9 will split with route 1A. Continue on 1A to Winterport, Frankfort, and Stockton Springs. At Stockton Springs, route 1A becomes route 1 and route 3. Continue on route 1 and route 3 through Searsport into Belfast. Route 3 will branch west, but you will stay on route 1 going south. Continue through Northport, Lincolnville and Camden. 

In Camden: We are on the south side of the center of town. In Camden, you will have gone through a blinking light (route 52 & route 1, where High St. becomes Main St., by the library), at the North end of town, and at the other end of town a blinking light (corner of route 1, which is Elm St. at this point, and Union St.). There is a white church on your right and a Stop 'n' Go gas station on your left. We are the sixth house on your left, from this corner. We are the next house after Taber Forge. Our sign has a copper schooner in it and the house is a WHITE FEDERAL with 12 over 12 windows. We have plenty of off street parking. Pull in and turn around and then angle park on the side.
