Camden Windward House is a special retreat for adults and young adults (18+). Many of our guests come here to slow down, enjoy the gardens, sip wine by the fire pit, and soak in the quiet charm of Camden — often as a little escape from their own children!

Our property is filled with playful and artistic touches — from wine-bottle walls and LEGO® sculptures to bubbling fountains and winding garden paths. These details create the whimsical, romantic atmosphere we’re known for, and we find it’s best preserved when shared with grown-up travelers.

Please note: If you arrive with a child under 18, your reservation will be cancelled upon arrival with no refund. We appreciate your understanding as we maintain the peaceful environment our guests return for year after year.

Can we bring our pets with us?

While we love pets, pets are not permitted at Camden Windward House.

Can we smoke?

Windward House is a non-smoking/no-flame property.  There is no smoking or flames permitted anywhere on the premises, either within the rooms and buildings, or on the grounds. If any evidence is found of any type (odor or visual) of flame or smoking, the guest will be responsible for paying $300 plus one night’s room rental fee and/or the cost of abatement of flame and/or smoking damage. This is agreed to in the terms and policies, by the guest, at time of reservation.

Is pot/marijuana legal in Maine?

Is an advanced deposit required before we arrive?

A deposit of one night’s lodging cost or 50% of the entire reservation cost, whichever is greater, is due at the time of booking per room reserved. The deposit is applied to room charges, and the balance will automatically be taken at the 14-day mark before your arrival.

Is there parking?

Yes!  Depending on which room you are staying in, you will either be parked in the front driveway or the parking lot in the back.

I see that you have a fire pit on your property. What are the hours that it is lit?

We light the fire pit at dusk and shut it down at 10 PM sharp (fire pit is lit in-season only). The noise ordinance in town is 10 PM and we abide by those rules! You can rest assured that the fire pit will not affect your stay with us if your room faces it.
