In the heart of midcoast Maine, The Inns at Blackberry Common offer premier bed and breakfast lodging in the picturesque seaside village of Camden.

The Inns at Blackberry Common includes The Blackberry Inn, a gracious, romantic home that was the only bed and breakfast in Maine featured in Daughters of Painted Ladies: America's Resplendent Victorians, and The Elms Inn, a stately, historic Colonial, built nearly 200 years ago by a seafaring captain as a home for his family.

Both inns sit side by side amid splendid perennial gardens complete with a blackberry patch. In the Blackberry Inn, three elegant parlors with restored tin ceilings and original plaster moldings are a welcoming gathering place for guests or a quiet read in front of the fireplace.

The Blackberry Inn features 18 beautifully appointed accommodations that provide queen, king size, or 2 twin beds dressed in fine linens. Luxury, comfort and a bit of whimsy provide elegant getaways in the inviting guestrooms and suites. Choose a premier suite, with fireplace and whirlpool tub, privately tucked away overlooking the gardens for that special getaway.

A leisurely, elegant breakfast is served daily in the dining room or on the garden patio. Fresh juice and seasonal fruits are great for starters then the entrees, which change daily, include specialties such as herb and cheese omelets, Blackberry sage French toast or multi-grain waffles with Maine bumbleberry sauce.

For an extraordinary vacation that pampers the senses with beauty and luxury, make your plans today to visit Camden, Maine and stay at the Inns of Blackberry Common, where New England hospitality is reflected in every detail.

Plan to see the area with a lovely bicycle ride through rolling countryside, beside crystal clear lakes and the spectacular Maine coastline.
