Norumbega

Top choice in Midcoast Maine


Looking like something out of a slightly creepy fairy tale, this 1886 turreted stone mansion was built to incorporate elements of the owner's favorite European castles. Today, it's Camden's poshest and most dramatically situated B&B, perched on a hill above the bay, with 11 distinctive rooms and suites.

The coolest choices are the two-story Library Suite, replete with a book-lined upper balcony, and the Penthouse, with a private deck and panoramic water views. Guests can take up the option of the $75 seven-course tasting menu, prepared by the owner-chef.
