Charming Cottage a Stroll to Camden Harbor-Sept. 7-12/2024 now open!

(NOTE: RENTALS START ON SATURDAY unless otherwise confirmed with owner.) Situated on a quiet, residential street this adorably updated, circa 1900 farmhouse is just a FIVE MINUTE WALK TO DOWNTOWN CAMDEN and its picturesque harbor. Bright and cheery, the two bedroom home offers comfortable furnishings and everything you need in your 'home-away-from-home' including a deck and private brick patio for outdoor dining and relaxing. The interior features restored wide plank pine floors upstairs and an ANTIQUE CLAW TUB, as well as a NEW shower, in the second floor bathroom. SIMMONS BEAUTY REST PLUSH MATTRESS SET in Master Bedroom. Downstairs there is a well stocked full kitchen with CORIAN countertops, separate sunny eating area seating six, a spacious family room and separate living/TV room with 32' FLAT SCREEN SMART TV which can be closed off via french doors from the rest of the house. We offer Direct TV stream (entertainment package), NETFLIX and Amazon Prime TV.

Camden is a lovely coastal town offering something for everyone. Enjoy views of MOUNT BATTIE from the front stoop or take a 30 minute moderate hike to the summit from the TRAIL HEAD at the AT THE TOP OF THE STREET. Those less adventuresome can drive to the top via the Mount Battie State Park entrance. Either way the reward is a marvelous view of the harbor, bay, and outlying islands. Bald Rock Trail in Camden Hills State Park was listed as one of the world's most scenic walks (Departures, Adam H Graham, Mar/Apr 2012)

If you would rather not cook your own lobsters in our convenient outdoor propane lobster and shellfish pot, take a walk to the wharf for a lobster feast at Peter Ott's on the harbor, enjoy a harbor view from The VIEW rooftop bar at 16 Bay View hotel, wonderful dining in town at FRESH & CO., and award winning LONG GRAIN (reservations recommended) among others. Or you can chose to hang out with the locals at Cuzzy's and enjoy a Maine micro-brew beer and play some pool. You may also want to reserve a spot on one of the various wooden sailing schooners for a tour of Penobscot Bay or learn to kayak with Maine Sports Kayak Tours. Town events include the Camden Food and Wine Festival in June, Country Roads Artist & Artisans Tour in September and Lobster Festival in nearby Rockand In July. Camden also offers a wide variety of restaurants, gourmet food and wine purveyors and unique shops where you can find upscale clothing, local pottery/art, antiques,
and more.

A Gem in Camden
Following our GPS, we drove through the picturesque town of Camden, where the streets buzzed with life and the harbor was filled with magnificent sailing vessels. Our approach to Wicker Cottage was filled with joyous anticipation, and it did not disappoint. The cottage is beautiful, artistically decorated, and a delight to stay in. Every detail was crafted with loving attention. Michelle was wonderful, offering excellent advice about local attractions, restaurants, and shopping. The gardens are lush, with plenty of sunny nooks perfect for reading or enjoying a coffee. If we could give a 6-star rating, we would. We will be back next year and plan to stay longer than our six days of bliss. Sean & Suzanne

Very Pleasant Stay in Camden
Everything in Camden was walkable from the house so we didn't have to use the car much at all. It got pretty hot some days so we walked to Laite Beach to swim, surprisingly uncrowded beach. Lots of good food options in town. The hike up Mt. Battie was quite punishing for a couple of 60+ people but we recovered with some ice cream at River Ducks. Overall a great week at Wicker House.

Another lovely stay!
This was our 3rd stay in Camden at Wicker Cottage and, once again, it was lovely. The cottage is charming, well appointed, immaculate and perfectly positioned for easy walks down to Camden Harbor or for scenic drives along the Maine coast. As always, our host was most attentive and gracious. We'll be back in 2025!

Wicker Cottage a Winner
Our visit to Camden was truly enhanced by our stay at Wicker. The Cottage was attractive, very clean and well outfitted, especially the kitchen. There were numerous places to relax, both inside and outside the house. The neighborhood was a ten minute walk from the downtown area with its numerous restaurants. And we had excellent communication with the owner. In all, a first rate VRBO experience.

Lovely Charming cottage
We had a lovely time staying in this charming house on a quiet street, which is just so nice that it is walking distance right into town/the harbor. Michelle’s home was so accommodating and she was very available if we had any questions. We will be back! And in case anyone loves to cook, there are so many dishes and pots and pans including two cast-irons which we used the most! Plenty of wine glasses etc. The lady across the street asked to keep the porch light off because it shines in her bedroom window. Just fyi for future guests!

Camden Maine - Wicker Cottage
The property was in a great location and had everything you could possibly want. The decor fit a water/mountain location theme and yard landscaped beautifully. Our host reached out to check in as to how we were doing. Maine sites were breath taking. We really enjoyed our visit. This was our first time reserving a vacation spot through VRBO and is was a good experience.

This is our second time staying at Wicker Cottage - we walked in and said "We're home!". The cottage is charming, beautifully maintained, scrupulously clean, thoroughly stocked and within an easy 5 minute walk to Camden Village and the harbor. Couldn't have asked for anything more - we'll be back again!

Odd smell?
Upon entry to house my wife and I noticed a peculiar smell. Kinda overwhelming actually. We thought perhaps it was the disinfectant used to clean the property. After opening windows and airing it out, the odor was still bad! Unfortunately, after three days, gwe were unable to tolerate the odor and left a day early. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood and is vey well equipped! However, the stairs leading to upstair bedrooms are very narrow and steep, not much room for me to carry carry-on luggage.

A week in Autumn in Mid-Coast Maine
Wicker Cottage was the ideal place for my husband and I to spend a week reminiscing about his proposal to me 34 yrs ago on Camden Harbor with autumn colors all around and perfect fall weather. The cottage was most welcoming and cozy. Early evening cocktails and dining harbor side were a mere 5 minute walk away. We travel often. Our Autumn 2022 week in Camden will long live as one of the best.

Idyllic spot in the treetops
We loved staying at the Barn. It is spotless and cozy. The deck faces East so there is cheerful morning sun in the space. The cute little range works very well and we cooked several of our meals there. The location was great for my painting class in Rockland and my husbands woodworking class in Rockport. Also close to the grocery store, restaurants, museums and the coast. It was just great. Our host and hostess were very welcoming and helpful to us.

Almost Perfect
The cottage was adorable, exactly as pictured, and in a fabulous location on a quiet side-street but only a 5-minute walk to downtown. And Camden is an ideal base for trips to the islands, Castine, even a day trip to Acadia National Park. (Just be aware that the stairs are VERY steep, almost like a ladder. We're an older couple & they were a challenge. I'd also be concerned about young children.)
