Our Previous Inn Guests Say It Best!
The guest reviews below are just a few available on TripAdvisor and Google from when we owned The Captain Swift Inn
Wonderful!
"Prepare to be spoiled. Rick & Carolyn provide the most comfortable and accommodating lodging we have ever experienced. Our suite had everything we might want or need. The gourmet 3 course breakfast is like the tasting menu of a fine restaurant. Rick is an artist in the kitchen. Carolyn booked us a schooner and we relied on Rick's advice for touring and the best lobster roll... Now that we've been spoiled, we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else."

Self Care Weekend
This is my second stay at The Captain Swift Inn and my first solo stay. Ric and Carolyn sure do know how to make a man feel welcome and well taken care of. Going above and beyond what I believe to be their duties, I was sad to go home. The Inn was meticulously kept, beautifully old and just stunning on the inside and out. . ."

Best hospitality and breakfast
"We stayed three nights in May 2021 here, the best bed and breakfast we have been to I know we paid to stay, but it felt like we were family and not a paying guest. . . The hosts have everything last detail perfectly planned. The breakfast was awesome ...

More than a touch of home
"What a wonderful experience we had at the Captain Swift Inn. Our host Carolyn and Rick are so sweet ad very hard working. Nothing was too much trouble. A smile and a welcome every day... Every detail is taken care of... Can't explain Breakfast. There's just not enough words. Being British, I would say the Queen would be honored with such home made delights..."

Two Night Stay on the Way to Acadia
" 5 star Bed and Breakfast. Host Carolyn and Rick are awesome. Food is excellent and they offer all the amenities..." June 2021 by Mark P.
The Gold Standard In Every Way
We recently spent three nights at Captain Swift and thoroughly enjoyed every single aspect of our stay. From the moment I made the reservation, until we checked out everything was beyond perfect! Carolyn helped us with suggestions for dinner and various places to visit in the area. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and given a tour of the inn. . . Breakfast is out of this world! . . . Rick is phenomenal in the kitchen and every day was a foodie's paradise from the home baked bread, second course of fruit to the third course of alternating savory and sweet dishes. . . Every single staff member that we encountered at the inn was friendly, professional and it was clear that they work together as a team to ensure the ultimate guest experience. My husband and I have traveled extensively both domestically and internationally, and our first choice of accommodations are always B&Bs. I can say unequivocally the the Captain Swift Inn was the absolute TOP experience we have ever encountered on all of our travels. Carolyn and Rick have created the best of the best and provided us with memories to last a lifetime. We are anxious to return! June 2021 by HHLRV
Best hospitality and breakfast!
We stayed three nights in May 2021 here, the best bed and breakfast we have been to. I know we paid to stay, but it felt like we were family and not a paying guest. It is beautiful, comfortable and so peaceful. The hosts have every last detail perfectly planned. The breakfast was awesome and sitting outside to enjoy it was the best! I am a diabetic and cannot eat several of the items offered, but they went out of their way to make something I could eat. There is no better breakfast anywhere. There were hot drinks, fresh cookies, nuts and chocolate covered blueberries offered 24/7. Thank you for sharing your gift of hospitality with all who enter your doors!

One Of the Best
My wife and I have stayed at many B&B's and this is one of the best. Carolyn and Rick are great hosts, doing a great job running this Inn and you can tell that they take pride in every aspect of what they do. We were immediately welcomed to their inn and they showed us around and how the inn functions. The inn is spotless clean in every detail and we felt very comfortable knowing that staying in a COVID timeframe. If I could give more than five stars I would. . .
The three course breakfast that they prepare each day is to die for. You definitely wont go away hungry and most likely will skip lunch as we did. So delicious.
Carolyn made a special reservation for us to visit one of the local wineries which was closed when we visited. Carolyn is more that willing to help with dinner reservation or other activities. Rick gave us some great ideas for hiking and visiting local sites. The Inn is located a short walk to downtown Camden.
The entire staff of servers and housekeeping are top notch. One of the best staffs that I have every experienced. . . by Ray V555 May 2021 Blackstone, MA
BEST in Maine!
"Best in Maine hands downs! This is a wonderful bed and breakfast (three course breakfast that is). Carolyn and Rick are outstanding hosts making sure you have everything needed to make your stay enjoyable. Rick is also a wonderful chef with everything prepared fresh from their kitchen. The house and grounds are immaculate and the team who works there are amazing . . . It was truly a pleasure to have found this place, and will definitely be back to visit. If you are looking for a bed and breakfast with charm AND every creature comfort (ie: comfy beds and great showers) look no further and book here." by AJBax May 2021, Newburyport, MA
Absolute Perfection in Camden
"One word cannot describe The Captain Swift Inn. Many words come to mind. Spotlessly clean, welcoming, friendly, relaxing, awesome, and WOW are but a few. Carolyn and Rick, along with their staff, offer the best experience one could hope to have. The three course breakfast is much more than a meal. It is an event! And the homemade cookies are great. Our every need was met and our expectations were exceeded. The inn is comfortable and inviting. The fire pit was a great way to end our day before going to our very comfortable room. We are already planning our return visit in the fall. There are many choices of accommodations in Camden. Treat yourself by staying at Captain Swift." by Larry R. May 2021
Excellent stay in every possible way!
"Carolyn and Rick were made for running a B&B! The room we had (Annie Kimball) was gorgeous and full of the history of the 1810 section of the Inn. And the breakfasts!!!! Yipes, three courses of food, each on a work of art that thrilled the taste buds. The fire pit with the soft music made sitting in the patio in the evening a wonderful relaxing rest area at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. The grounds were impeccably managed. The deck was just great for enjoying morning breakfasts. We are telling all of our friends to stay here and we want to go back at least once a year. A big thanks to our AMAZING hosts for making our trip so wonderful!!!" by Dave Therrien May 2021

"This is truly a special place! Both Carolyn and Rick went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one. Their attention to detail and the amenities provided were wonderful! A beautiful, intimate setting for our breakfast and delicious 3 courses were superb! Thanks again for everything!" by Wendy P. May 2021
Fantastic!!
"This inn is a hidden gem. The taste level, cleanliness, attention to detail and hospitality of Carolyn and Rick is well above any expectation that one can imagine. It is a beautiful inn, complete with an amazing multi-course breakfast. The bed was super comfortable with it's high quality linens on both the bed and in the bath. The toiletries and shower were both lovely.
We had a wonderful stay and will absolutely return!" by Robindarmouth, May 2021 Hanover, NH
Perfection in Camden, Maine
"I have been going to inns all over the world for many years and this one is by far one of the nicest I have ever stayed in. My husband and I were there for three nights in their Mercantile suite. What a pleasure! Every darn thing was perfect. I am a former inn keeper and know that being 100 percent perfect is not easy. The Captain Swift achieves it.
The breakfast!! A three course perfection. Even their fruit cup was the best I have ever had.
The room was large and comfy. the bedding felt like wrapping in silk. We also had an outside porch of our own and total peace and quiet.
Everyone we met at this inn was helpful, kind and friendly. Rick and Carolyn are perfect hosts. I guess I could rave on and on but I think much has already been said in other reviews. . . " by Mainehatty, May 2021
Perfect in Every Way
"This b&b couldn't be more perfect. Very warm, friendy innkeepers. Beautiful, old restored home. Delicious food. Clean. Great attention to detail. Coffee delivered to your room if desired in the morning! I will definitely be staying here whenever I'm in the area." by Karen M.
Book it!
"If you're anything like us, we were dying to take a trip away after being vaccinated! So we shipped the kids to the grandparents and booked a 3 night stay at The Captain Swift. We are so glad we did! The premises was immaculate - no detail including the common areas, the room, outside (even in early spring), dining room, etc., was overlooked. It is a beautiful property. We checked in and got a tour of the building, including history, which was great. We were met with fresh baked goods and local sweets (I was especially fond of the chocolate covered blueberries). The room was very comfortable. The bed and linens were like being at home, including the pillows. The shower had multiple sprayers and rain head. That was nice. Every room has a flat screen smart TV with premium channels, including HBO, and since it's a smart TV you can stream from your devices.
The breakfast was 3 courses so be prepared to eat! I am not sure which of the innkeepers is a foodie, but the breakfast second course was always something unique like glazed fruit with ice cream - stuff like that, which was so yummy and a welcomed change from basic breakfast. Oh and the bloody Mary's were delicious. The common rooms are very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The innkeepers are very accommodating - they've really thought of everything- from sound machines and ear plugs in your room to an "oops I forgot something" closet in the common area. It has everything in it, even deodorant. A few times we received a text message (to all guests) that Rick had make fresh cookies and to come grab a warm one! I mean, if that's not special - I don't know what is! . . .Overall, the Inn was cozy and comfortable with wonderful Innkeepers - we will definitely book again!"by Sara J. Gorham, NH April 2021
They're the best!
"3 times in the last 10 months! We love everything about this place! The inn is gorgeous, the owners are very helpful and friendly and no matter which room you choose you will not be disappointed. Rick's breakfast is delicious and filling and the fire pit outside is awesome. W e also want to commend their housekeeping and wait staff who seem like part of the family. Carolyn and Rick will do everything possible to make your stay enjoyable." by Norm & Sandi Searsport, ME April 2021
Beyond Every Expectation!
"This inn is a gem of all gems. Everything about it is exceptional! The property is meticulously maintained inside and out. Our room was beautiful and the bed provided a perfect nights sleep. There are various common areas as well to relax in. Carolyn and Rick have thought of EVERYTHING and then some. From the incredible breakfasts to the afternoon treats and endless supply of water and soft drinks their attention to detail is truly the BEST! They made us feel immediately welcomed and comfortable. From the lovely box of chocolates left in our room as well as a small bottle of wonderful local olive oil they couldn't have been more hospitable. They even made the most decadent cake for our sons birthday which we were celebrating and delivered it to his room!
Not only did we enjoy relaxing inside the inn but sitting around the firepit on the patio after a day of exploring the area was just perfect.
We honestly can't say enough about the Captain Swift Inn or give it the justice it deserves but if you are visiting Camden this has to be your choice of accommodations. We have stayed in many inns and bed and breakfasts through the years but never one as wonderful as this one. We can check all the boxes and then ten more! Thank you Carolyn and Rick for a truly perfect stay." by phdianeroy, South Dennis, MA April 2021
Expectations were exceeded!
"The Captain Swift Inn in Camden, Maine is worth a visit-just on its own. It’s in a great location with a short walk into town. The hosts, Carolyn & Rick are unbelievably hospitable. They made reservations at the nearby restaurants and made lots recommendations on places to eat and visit. We traveled during COVID (we are Maine residents) and felt that everyone at the Inn really takes it seriously-we also didn’t feel like we missed out on anything due to Covid as they made wonderful adaptations! The place is impeccably clean and they have thought of everything. There are disinfectant stations at each entrance with complimentary masks, hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes as well as individually wrapped Lindt’s chocolates. The employees all wear masks and gloves at all times. They really pull out all the stops. There are fresh flowers throughout the whole inn including in our room, they have a full liquor license so can really make you any cocktail you’d like, or beer, wine and Prosecco. We stayed during Valentine’s weekend and they gave each guest a box of heart-shaped truffles from a local candy shop. The three-course breakfast (more like 4 or 5 courses) includes fresh coffee (they ground their beans) a variety of teas or their own hot chocolate mix as well as a plethora of options for your other courses. Every one is tastefully prepared and very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The room is well appointed with luxury linens and toiletries, smart TVs (ours had a fireplace) and sitting area. The main part of the inn has multiple areas to relax in and one of our favorite things to do was to play checkers in one of the living rooms-while the gas fireplace was on-very cozy. We will definitely be back in April and cannot wait. Until then, we’ll be skipping breakfast to make sure we have an appetite when we return! There is so much more to say, but just visit for yourself to see what a great place this truly is. Thanks again, Carolyn and Rick!" -Greg & Joey by Greg D. Ogunquit, ME April 2021
Perfect Weekend Getaway
"Last weekend we decided to mark a milestone anniversary with a few days outside of our Pandemic Bubble. We could not have chosen better than this beautiful inn which is a member of the Select Safe Registry. Carolyn and Rick are fantastic hosts who enjoy sharing their beautiful home. Rick is the kitchen master who humbly claims that cooking is his hobby while producing delicious food plated and presented as works of art. The Inn is completely remodeled and most public rooms feature a fireplace and some form of chocolate! I have tried to think of something that was missing and I can not. Carolyn has thought of everything from a step stool by the very comfortable bed to a special cabinet for forgotten toothbrushes etc. Together with their competent staff they have created a special setting you should not miss and I guarantee will want to return to." by nijedu February 2021, Holden ME

We got the Taste of Maine package, and we would highly recommend it. Carolyn even made reservations at all the restaurants for us. In addition, we ordered their flourless chocolate cake, and it was absolutely divine! We definitely plan on returning." by Paige N. January 2021 New York City, New York
"Rick and Carolyn are the ultimate hosts and they have thought of every way to make your experience comfortable, inviting and one to remember. The 100 renovated Captain Swift Inn Inn is historic and has beautiful touches throughout. You'll never find a better breakfast for its selection, freshness and creativity. Best New England Inn we have visited in 30 years." by Edward McShane
