Fabulous week in Camden

Cathy's cottage is absolutely charming. My husband and I spent the week exploring the area and had a wonderful time walking all over town. The location is convenient to shopping, restaurants and parks. We would definitely book again.

Solo in Camden

I stayed solo for about a week and also had my artist mates for a 3 day weekend. The house is small and quaint, bright sunny rooms, and just enough beachy kitsch to make it fun. Just how it should be in Maine. The kitchen works with 2 cooks, but no more. The porch bed is delightful even in April if you like sleeping in cool temps. This house has everything you could possibly need. Laundry machines are incredible and looked brand new. Towels and linens were very nice. Even the magazines and books were things I would read. Only faults were that the beds are memory foam mattresses (which is not my favorite), bedrooms are tiny without drawers for unpacking and some dog hairs stuck in rugs and upholstery. I would 100% stay here again.

Sweet Camden Cottage

My husband and I stayed in this charming cottage for 16 nights while the floors in our home were being refinished. The cottage is located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, within walking distance to downtown Camden. The house is bright, cozy and nicely decorated, with a modern kitchen that is well equipped with anything you could possibly need. Catherine, the owner, is an exceptional host - very responsive, kind and a joy to work with!! We highly recommend Jacob's Cottage!!

Quaint house

Very nice well maintained house in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute walk to the town center. Very well stocked with supplies and includes a washer and dryer. Lots to do in the area both outside (hiking) and inside (museums). The best restaurant we went to was Archers on the Pier in Rockland; the best pub was Seadog in Camden town center.

Comfy cottage in Camden

We enjoyed a three week stay whilst our home was being remodeled. The cottage is set up with all the comforts of home. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and we loved a hot bath at the end of our winter day. Catherine is very responsive and kind. We also loved getting to know the neighbors, all very friendly. Mornings and evenings we loved walking our doggie around town and down to the waterfront park. Gorgeous! We would definitely return to this lovely home in the future and recommend it to visitors. Only a short two blocks to shopping, harbor restaurants and the waterfront. Cheers!

Christmas In Maine

My family and I stayed in this lovely little house for the month of December. I grew up in Camden, but live in Nashville with my wife and kids. I was excited to have a winter adventure with the family...and we did! The house was very comfortable for the four of us. I grew up in a house with radiator heat, but the heat in this house is next level, or maybe it's the insulation, either way this house is COZY on the coldest days. Everyone was very comfortable. Our boys slept in the upstairs room and loved it. There are two queen beds both very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of linens (as well as a washer/ dryer) on site. The neighborhood is perfectly situated for walks into town and the neighbors themselves are lovely and very welcoming. Catherine was a delight to deal with we hope to stay here again in the future! I can't say enough good things about this place!

A cozy cold weather bungalow

I stayed here for three months while attending the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship. It was the perfect choice. It's on a quiet side street near the village that is always plowed. The neighbors are amazing. One day they noticed my car was still in the driveway on a weekday and they checked on me. (Really bad cold that day) I felt very welcome and even decorated for Halloween and Christmas. Cathy, the owner, is very responsive and easy to work with. The house itself is charming, bright and decorated nicely. The couch, where I spent a lot of my time was very comfortable. I never had a bad night's sleep in the master bedroom. (All the quiet took a little getting used to for this city boy) One thing that stands out is that I was never ever cold. Radiant heat throughout the house and not a draft to be found. Cozy. I know no one believes a review without at least one nit pick. Honestly the only one that I can come up with is that I wish the sink faucet had a spray attachment. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and was surprised how much I missed it. This is a property I would definately return to.

Perfect Camden Cottage

My family stayed in this quaint little house for a month and it was the perfect spot. The neighbors are incredibly friendly, the house is well kept and clean, and the location is central to downtown camden, the harbor and the beach. We hope to stay here again in the future. Thank you, Cathy, for sharing your lovely home with us. It’s a month we will never forget.

Cosy home, perfect for family holiday, fantastic location

We had 2 cosy weeks in this cottage with our 1.5 y.old. House is charming and the neighborhood is quaint. Perfect street for little kids to run around. House had really all practical things we needed, including fully stocked kitchen. Owner even bought a baby bed and high chair for our use, all ready before our arrival. Camden is an amazing beautiful town. We did daytrips but also enjoyed just walking to and in town. Public library with readings for kids and playroom is a plus, as well as 2 playgrounds. All in walking distance. Many thanks Cathy! Our maine holiday was memorable.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Sine

Hello! I love Maine and am happy to share this special place. My mother grew up in Camden. Each year we would make the 10 hour drive from Upstate NY to visit my Grandmother and all my cousins. Years later when I had my own family, we would make the 10 hour drive from Southeast Pennsylvania to visit. We purchased this adorable home in 2003 with the intention of someday enjoying it in retirement years. My husband & I have made it a tradition to come every July for the North Atlantic Blues Festival.

Why they chose this property

Jacobs Avenue is only one block long. The street was originally formed to house mill workers in Sears Roebuck houses that arrived by rail. The houses are arranged in pairs of the same style along the street. Over the years, updates and additions have changed a few of them but the original character is still evident. It's a delightful neighborhood!

What makes this property unique

We had so much fun picking out fun, comfortable furniture and furnishings to make it feel like you're near the sea in Maine. Being able to walk downtown in a matter of minutes is the best. Forget the car and walk everywhere. For pet lovers, the neighborhood is very pet friendly and great for walks. Use this house as home base to explore all the great day trips- centrally located between Bar Harbor and Portland.
