We enjoyed our three night stay at Castleview. Bill Butler was an excellent host. He provided lots of good information that helped us during our first visit to Camden and everything was clean. Hiking, shopping, eating and a boat tour will be remembered for years to come. Check out his website for more information. http://www.castleviewinn.com/

We just got home from our stay at the Castleview B&B and were sorry that we couldn't stay more than two nights. If you like historical buildings, you'll like this place. The inn is in an old house built in the 1850's and has old elements which are part of its charm, i.e. original floor boards, old fireplaces, wooden roof... More

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay (9/8/12) at Castleview. Even enjoyed waking up before 6 to the beautiful blue Maine sky and the dark blue water of the Camden harbor (our room was not a blackout room). But, the true charm and enjoyment of the B&B is getting to know Bill, the innkeeper. Helpful, but not intrusive.... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend with Bill as our host. He was very friendly, accommodating and able to offer good advice regarding activities in the area. His breakfasts were delicious and a great start to our daily biking adventures. The icing on the cake was the beautiful view of Penobscot Bay we were able to enjoy from our room.

In our view, spending a few days in a B&B (Bed and Breakfast) style inn should be like staying in the home of a good friend. The homes of friends are not expected to be hotels. Bill Butler's “Castleview by the Sea” is a B & B that is a home in the very best sense of the word and... More

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. Upon our arrival which was 5:30 it took several rings of the bell and still no answer from Bill the owner. We finally called his phone number to get him to come to the door. There was a television on inside which was quite loud so perhaps that was interfering... More

The entrance to our Inn has a large sign next to the huge brass ship bell that says "please ring loudly for innkeeper. To the right of that is a small rusted out old buzzer that is not intended to be used which it;s appearance suggests.We are doing daily chores all over the Inn and do not have the luxury... More

Spent 3 week nights in mid-September 2010 at Castleview. Bill Butler, the innkeeper, is a treat -- engaging conversationalist, lots of information about what to do (and not do) in the area, great (candid) restaurant recommendations, and truly luxurious breakfasts. Our room (the Boat Room) was a little quirky (not out of Architecture Digest), and the bathroom small (hence the... More

The room and the inn were treacherous for our young children - a rickety balcony less than 2 feet high on a third floor room. We spent one night in this place, paid and left the next morning. The innkeeper cursed, and screamed at us in the presence of other guests and then filed a false police report - which... More

Reviewer chose this room from our site on line, which room shows several pictures of the room including balcony,as well as decor throughout. The decor may seem outdated to the reviewer but the inn is circa 1856 so the decor has to blend tastefully to create that special 1856 ambiance. 2011 decor would be very out of place.Balcony railing height,...
