April 29th was my one year wedding anniversary and my husband booked us two nights in this fabulous B&B in Camden, Maine (which was actually a suggestion from my maid of honor, so without her, we never would have found the place!) called the Norumbega Inn.
We stayed in their library suite, which is so appropriate. The room is where the original library is located and has a balcony that spans the top half of the room with a ton of vintage books! We also had a little room with a gas fireplace (where Sweetbeeps would read in the mornings because he gets up earlier than me.) When we arrived we got a little history lesson about the place, but of course, I don’t remember much. But I know this mansion (castle?!) was built in 1886 by some guy who invented something (haha yep) and it was a private home until the mid-80s. I also know it’s the coolest B&B I’ve ever been to (she says, having only been to one other) and I had the best food there I’ve had in my life and we definitely plan to return.
Camden is a cute little town by the water with quite a few shops to check out….though some get pricey because of tourists and vacationers. There’s hiking in the area, but we didn’t end up doing that because it was still fairly cold. Anyway, on to the pictures….be prepared, there are a TON:
That fog so atmospheric!
That cage needs a peacock, doesn’t it?
A doggo!
Get ready for all your woodworking dreams to come true
Soooo delicious!
I totally made Sweetbeeps touch that statue’s boob
Even our doorknob was well designed!
Our little side room…and a small view of the main room.
The view from bed!
I really love this shelf.
Booooooks!
This book maybe came home with me……..
Just casually browsing….
Me: Look like you’re browsing. Him…
He thinks he’s funny.
Found us in book form.
There were four bookstores downtown and naturally, we went to all of them!
Basically all vintage, but pretty pricey!
Super cute, but more of a cafe with small book selection.
Too crowded to focus.
Half a toy store, but decent selection!
Wow! That’s gorgeous!
Oh my goodness this looks incredible!!! Happy anniversary!!!
Thank you! It was perfect.
Ohhh these photos are GORGEOUS and I love all the books!! And that doorknob?!? Agreed. It is the best doorknob ever.😍
The only downside to the doorknob is that we didn’t get a sweet antique key to go in the lock. There’s a modern lock at the top of the door.
Luuuuurve
Best. Room. Ever.
Except that B&B looks totally haunted… not going to lie, I’d be terrified to stay there lol
LOVED your pictures!!! Happy anniversary 🙂
Haha that thought never occurred to us. We can’t wait to go back. I can say after 2 nights there I can say I saw zero signs of ghosts. Lol thank you
So sweet! I like the wood pattern on the floor.
I’m planning to make a bookish places bucket list (I always say this but have yet to write down anything) and will put this inn on it.
