Top choice in Midcoast Maine
Whitehall was once the summer home for Camden's elite visitors (poet Edna St Vincent Millay got her start reciting verse here in 1912). New owners have breathed new life into the inn, making it a fun and fashionable destination once more. Check out the on-trend rooms (some have a loft!), rambling porches and stylish restaurant and you'll understand the appeal.
Happily, there are budget-oriented (well, budget-ish) digs here too, including rooms with shared bathroom.
