Camden Windward House Bed & Breakfast

My wife and I visit Camden every year to enjoy the festivities in town and at the National Tobaggon Championships at the Camden Snow Bowl. We rolled into town in the middle of a snow storm which was quite the challenge. Kristi, the owner, greeted us with a hot pot of coffee and gave us some great recommendations for local restaurants. We stayed in the Chart Room which was very spacious with a separate sitting room. The bath had a jacuzzi tub which felt good since it was so cold out. The huge king size bed was made even more comfy with a down mattress topper. And then there were the breakfast! No warmed over waffles here. Everything is made from scratch and most items are gluten free and vegan. You can order anything you like from the menu which is very diverse.
The Windward House is very convenient to town. You can walk to all the restaurants in less than five minutes. If you haven’t been to Camden, the area has some awesome restaurants. Reservations are usually necessary.
Thanks to the Windward House for offering such a wonderful environment! See ya again soon!

We loved the breakfasts including that you got to order from the menu. At our BnB in Portland it had a buffet, and I assume the owner ended up throwing food away at the end of the morning. I love that the Windward Inn did not have to waste. I appreciated the eggs being from pasture raised chickens, free range eggs.
Our host was friendly remembering what we had said we would sight-​see, then the next morning ask how it went.
Our room the Crows’ Nest was cute. There are 2 Crows’ Nest rooms both taking up the third floor. Because of the slanted ceilings, you’ll need to sit down to use the toilet.
We liked that the BnB had a guest refrigerator. Internet was always the full three bars.

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend at this B&B. It’s in a great location, just a few minutes walking distance from downtown, and a short drive to some great hiking spots and ocean views.
Kristi and Jesse made us feel right at home, making themselves very available, but not hovering. The room was spacious, well decorated, and very clean. The best part — breakfast! They had so many vegan and gluten-​free options, made to order, and they were all delicious.
We highly recommend Windward House and would definitely stay there again ourselves.

The Camden Windward House is a treasure! It’s impeccably care for and charming in all ways. Proprietors Jessie and Kristi are kind and gracious hosts; their commitment to a healthy and green lifestyle is generously shared with their guests. The bed was super comfortable, the room restful and a full breakfast menu is offered. We loved everything about our stay and look forward to returning again someday.

Oh what a wonderful little bed and breakfast!
Located right in the center of Camden, has convenient parking in the back as well.
Breakfast was a-​la-​carte and was great.
The rooms are quaint, clean, and have all of the commodities to make your stay feel like you are being pampered. And the bed: not sure what it was, but it was incredibly comfortable.
The owners are very pleasant and knowledgeable and are happy to share tips on what to see etc.
If you ever go to Camden, Windward house is not to be missed!

Our stay at the Camden Windward House (in the Quarterdeck Room) was wonderful. Kristen & Jesse are wonderful & thoughtful. Their customer service is impeccable and they have thoughtfully considered every touch, big and small. They thoughtfully and non intrusively offer suggestions on what to do and where to eat.
The breakfasts are filling and delicious.
The town of Camden was a delight to visit and we look forward to a return visit to the Camden Windward House.
Side note, we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Moxie, the innkeepers’ dog, on a couple of occasions! A very sweet, quiet lady who satiated our need to pet a dog!

My fiancé and I just wanted a one night vegan friendly getaway. After searching exactly that we found the Windward Inn. The room was beautiful and everything from the soap to the type of coffee they brew is high quality.
Kate and I got to have a wonderful vegan breakfast in the morning which included french toast, breakfast burrito, fresh fruit, fair trade organic coffee, and a homemade green smoothie. Best part, it is all complimentary.
We would love to come back in the summer and hike around the place or even come back in the winter and visit the Camden Snow Bowl to go toboggan sledding!
All in all, great visit, very nice people, and well worth the price.

I recently surprised my girlfriend with a trip to Maine and decided to stay in the Quarterdeck Room at the Camden Windward House. I’m definitely glad I did.
The location of the B&B is perfect walking distance into Camden which is a really cute one-​street kind of town.
The room was very nicely sized and had a beautiful view through numerous windows that let in wonderful light. The bed was comfortable and the electronic fireplace stove was very cute.
The proprietors, Kristi and Jesse, were kind as well, although we tended to keep to ourselves. Jesse made us breakfast one morning and it was quite delicious. They were a nice balance of attentive, but not intrusive.
They even left really delicious chocolate cookies out for us that we snacked on all weekend. Thanks!

If you come to Camden, ME – which you should, because it is the most relaxing, nicest, cutest, most scenic town ever (even in the off season, which is when we came – end of January) — you have to stay here. The owners go out of their way to make sure that everything is perfect. From our room, we could walk to the spa, the yoga center, town, the library, every place we wanted to see. The room was incredibly comfortable, and they make you feel right at home. And the food is first rate, esp. the yogurt orange pancakes and their home-​brewed coffee!

Highly recommended B&B. My wife and I stayed for three nights during labor day weekend. Our room, the crows nest, was located in the second floor, overlooking the garden of the property. We absolutely liked the room.
The owner told us when we made the reservation over the phone, that the room and bathroom is very tiny. Yes, the room might not be for everyone, because of it’s size and location.
We totally loved it. Room was spotless, wireless internet worked great.
Every morning we enjoyed the delicious breakfast.
The location of the B&B is great. It’s only a 1 – 2 min walk to the harbor and restaurants.
There is plenty of parking behind the house.
The owners are very friendly and helpful if you need recommendations on any activities in the area or on dining recommendations.
Would love to come back again.

My fiancé and I stayed here last November and it was PERFECT. We stayed in the Quarterdeck Room which I would highly recommend. It had everything you could want — a super comfy king-​sized bed, jacuzzi tub, cozy wood stove which turns on with the flick of a switch, post and beam detail, cathedral ceilings, lovely large windows, a nice flat screen tv, and your own private deck! I also like the separate entrance to this room. It feels very separate from the B&B… more like staying at your own place rather than in someone’s house.
Breakfast was plentiful … fresh fruit, coffee, one morning we had delicious pancakes, the other morning eggs and bacon.
The Inn is in walking distance to town and to Mt Battie which was very convenient. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!

We loved this place and look forward to our next stay there. Kristi and Jesse are delightful people. Kristi greets you at the door with a warm smile which makes you feel right at home. Jesse is an amazing organic chef. Our breakfasts were delicious, the room was lovely, the bed comfy, the view of Mt Battie beautiful, and we had a wonderful time on our first stay there. Check it out.

As a special treat for Andy’s birthday and to get away from family for a day, we decided to stay somewhere while we were in Maine for the Thanksgiving holiday. Windward House was the standout after an exhaustive search of area B&Bs and Inns. Our criteria were fireplace/​woodstove and jaccuzzi or hot tub. Windward House delivered on these criteria and so much more. We booked the Quarterdeck Suite at the off season rate and it exceeded our expectations.
When we arrived at the Windward House, we were greeted by Kristen and fresh brownies and tea. She asked if we would like her to make reservations for us (knowing what time and season we were going to dinner we politely declined) and then took us to our room, which had a private entrance at the back of the property up a flight of stairs to the private deck.
The room had a wall of windows overlooking Mt. Battie (and the Christmas Star), a gas woodstove, and a bathroom with Jaccuzzi tub. I loved the exposed beams.
We also had a flat screen tv with DVD player and a good selection of DVDs.
The next morning, Jesse greeted us with breakfast and coffee, which were included with the room. The food was delicious, with crispy bacon. I had orange yogurt pancakes and Andy had eggs and toast.
Such a great experience, we will definitely be back for the excellent accommodations and hospitality.

We’ll skip the history on this bed & breakfast and the information about the owner because the owner, Kristen, has provided it in her very accurate description of the business, which we suggest reading. We spent three nights at this b&b and loved every moment of it. The room (Chart Room) was spacious with a roomy sitting room and a separate bedroom with an outside door that opened onto a deck with some chairs for relaxing. The bed and pillows were most comfortable; there’s a gas stove in the sitting room that warmed everything up when the evenings got chilly. The bathroom has lots of hot water (and it comes on almost immediately!) and a combination bath/​shower jacuzzi.
Kristen’s breakfasts (cooked by her husband Jesse) are delicious, and range from pancakes to waffles to fresh scrambled eggs to specialty omlettes. All breakfasts come with a large bowl of fresh fruit and a choice of juices. Delicious! Hot tea, hot chocolate and nibblers are available for most of the day and evening. The location is a less-​than-​5-​minute walk from the middle of downtown Camden; couldn’t be more convenient for walking, so no need to worry about trying to find a parking place in the middle of a crowded summer day. There are lots of books for browsing in the b&b library, and… well, there’s just not a downside here. The rates are competitive. We give it out highest endorsement with thanks to the wonderful innkeepers.
