In September 2018, we had a wedding to attend near Camden Maine. We decided to make a long weekend trip out of it. We had a luxurious trip to Camden Maine, where we stayed at 16 Bay View and in Cape Neddick at Cliff House.
On our drive, we saw this restaurant with a giant lobster on top of it! The Taste of Maine Restaurant is located in Woolwich Maine. I had seen this on Facebook before and had no idea we would drive right past it. I made my husband turn around so we could get photos. There are signs stating not to stop on the roadway, so we pulled into the parking lot to be safe. We really would have gone in to try the food but we would have spoiled our appetite for the rehearsal dinner we were on our way to attending that evening. I still want to try it some day.
The wedding rehearsal dinner was Friday evening and we decided to leave from home early Friday morning, in order to have plenty of time to get to the hotel and get settled, unpack , freshen up and grab a cocktail on the rooftop bar of the hotel. We decided to stay at 16 Bay View Hotel in Camden Maine. It was the most posh boutique hotel we could find within a reasonable distance to the wedding venue. It did not disappoint! It was as luxurious as it looked on the website. Ay caramba…look at the size of that tub!

We settled into the hotel, unpacked, freshened up and went up to the rooftop bar. What beautiful scenery! I believe we may come back for a visit in the summer when it will be much warmer. It wasn’t too cold yet and there were propane heaters to make it even more enjoyable.

It was a beautiful day for the wedding and we had a wonderful time! The wedding was held at a residence right on the ocean, they served wonderful cocktails, appetizers and dinner.
The next morning we were on our way home but first we would spend a couple of nights at the Cliff House in Cape Neddick Maine. This is truly an exceptional hotel with scenery and sounds of the ocean that is so calming and beautiful! We stayed in an oceanfront room that had a balcony. The room was large, luxurious and magnificent. Again, I wish the weather was warmer but it was still a great place to visit. We will definitely return at some point. The sounds of the ocean against the cliffs was amazing. You can see for yourself by viewing the videos below. One video was taken during the day and one was taken at night. I love listening to both!

The hotel Tiller Restaurant is as exceptional as the scenery. The service was excellent and friendly. The food was fantastic. It is surrounded by windows overlooking the cliffs and the ocean. Take a look for yourself sometime or enjoy it through the pictures I have provided below of our journey both from inside the restaurant and out.

The trip to Camden and Cape Neddick was truly amazing and beautiful! Both areas are something that should be considered.

You would have a hard time getting me out of that tub!!!
That is a big tub. I am glad that you were in it to show the size. We have stayed at resorts where the photos made the tube look huge but then when I went to get in the tub, it was not huge. 🙁
I couldn’t resist hopping in for a pic!
Looks like a fabulous trip! It’s like I was there looking at all the pics!
Thanks Jay!
I’m all about staying at a place with crashing waves…I could just do that and be content. And the boutique hotel also looks fabulous especially the rooftop bar…and that massive tub!
Crashing waves are the best, especially when you can fall asleep listening to them!
Maine has become more interesting to me as I read more about it. It’s beautiful. Luxury and scenic is our style
I am all about the luxury too! I loved both of these hotels and our visit to Maine.
Both of your hotels look amazing! Staying on the beach is the best. And the lobster is cute!
I love beach vacations! The ocean is so calming!
We missed this area when visiting Maine. We would love to go back, this area is beautiful!
Camden is a quaint town! The Cliff House in Cape Neddick has extraordinary seascapes!
I have wanted to see Maine for so long now. It’s right at the top of my US bucket list along with a couple of other states. You have convinced me even more that this should be the next place I visit on this side of the world! Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for all the information! It will definitely come in handy! 🙂
Thanks Vessy! It is truly beautiful!
We love Maine – and especially Camden! Great to know about this hotel as an option. Thanks!
It is a beautiful hotel!
My family loves Maine and this just gives us another reason to go back. We haven’t stayed near Cape Neddick but we are in love with Camden.
If you get the chance to stay at Cliff House it is out of this world! Even if you don’t stay, take the drive next time you are in Maine and visit the property!
We have never been to Maine and it is one place we can’t wait to venture to when we retire. I so want to lay in that tub for hours!
I have never seen a tub that grand! 😆
I loved your article! Great information about the mid-coast of Maine. We recently visited Camden as well and we fell in love with this area! Thank you for sharing so many photos; it really helped to enhance the story you were trying to convey!
Thanks Tara! Maine is a great place to visit!
I need to book a trip to Maine. Those cliffs look amazing!
The Cliff House is unbelievable!
I’ve had Maine lobster but never in Maine! Looks like a beautiful location and sounds like you had a great time
I loved both Maine hotels but the Cliff House is exceptional luxury!
One day we will venture up to Maine! I’ve heard the ONLY place to eat lobster is in Maine and I love lobster!
Great photos!
Lobster is definitely better in Maine!
I am definitely into a trip to Maine! You have reinspired me!
Maine is great! The seafood is awesome and the scenery is amazing!
What a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing!
We actually honeymooned in Maine in November ~ it was so quiet and the perfect spot for us at that moment in life. We haven’t been able to get back since, but a post like this certainly sparks the interest!
How nice! I hope you make it back sometime!
I have always wanted to visit Maine. It looks amazing!
How beautiful!! I’ve never been to Maine but have to say, I love lobster rolls! 😉
That giant lobster is ridiculous!!! How fun. Kind of like those giant potatoes you can find in Idaho…
So beautiful! I’d love the ocean side room where you could hear the waves. Great photos too. I’d love to visit Maine.
Truly an amazing hotel!
I highly recommend visiting Maine! Thank you for reminding me of how wonderful it is. We visited in 2016 and went to the Rockland Maine Lobster festival. Our family also stopped and took a picture with the Lobster you show! It was great fun, the food was amazing, and the people were so welcoming.
I am glad you enjoyed it as much as I have!
I love Maine! I wish I had seen theCliff house!
The Cliff House is truly amazing if you get a chance to get back
Great photos!
Thanks!
Wow, love all your photos! The one of you in the hotel tub is too funny. Great trip, thanks for sharing!
Gotta love that humongous tub! The pic just wouldn’t do it justice if I didn’t hop in!
It looks like you had a fabulous time. Your pictures are beautiful.
Thank you! All vacations are fabulous, aren’t they?
I would love to visit Maine someday! Looks beautiful.
It truly is beautiful. I hope you make it someday.
The pictures are so nice. I have never been to Maine but I would love to go.
Summer is coming…great time to visit!
The Maine coast is one of my favorites! It’s worth going back to check out Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, too!
Yes, I have it made it there yet but hear it is beautiful!
What a fun place! I definitely want to try The Taste of Maine Restaurant. That place looks like a great place to make some memories.
At the very least it is a great photo opp!
I’ve always wanted to visit Maine. I need to put this on my travel list!
Absolutely! You have to visit!
Seems like an awesome trip!!
Always!
Gorgeous! I’ve never been to Maine, but it looks like I’d enjoy it! Also, I need to get one of those tubs, lol!
Unbelievable tub…right?
Two of my favorite spots in Maine. We are always drawn to the small inlet towns. Perkins Cove is very quaint as well as Boothbay Harbor as well. Special places!
Many nice spots to visit in Maine!
I love Maine. It is beautiful in the summer as well.
I love Maine in the summer! Luckily it will be warm soon…can’t wait!
This looks great! It is only a few hours from me. I will have to check it out.
Definitely, a must visit! Warmer weather is on it’s way!
Joanne we have actually visiting Camden and ate at the Lobster restaurant and of course taken the same pictures. We loved visiting the area and I would love to go back and spend some more time to explore more.
Hopefully you find the time! I know I will.
Oh my Gosh, it looks beautiful! I bet the air smells phenomenal! It is always fun to get out and explore our great nation! Hopefully you get to go back soon!
I live in Massachusetts, so I frequent Maine on vacation!
Maine is breathtaking! I was in Maine for the first time last year in November. Super cold but beautiful. Going back again in October and looking forward to it!
Have a great time!
I’ve never been to ME but would LOVE to make it there soon. Thanks for the post!
You need to make the time!
Nice pictures, nice trip. That lobster is awesome!
Love the lobstah…in Maine (and Massachusetts) speak!
Maine is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go – your post moved it up on our list!
I really have to say the hotels in this article are top notch!
That lobster is so cool! I’ve never really had a desire to go to Maine…until I saw this post. Now I just might have a newfound interest..
Maine is beautiful! The hotels in this article are very luxurious and worth looking into if you decide to visit Maine.
Love the scenery! What a beautiful area and it appears to be so quaint really. Never have been to Maine but I would go now.
It really is beautiful! Someday you should get there.
What an incredible trip! I’ve never been to Maine, but that shoreline looks fierce!
The Cliff House in Cape Neddick (Ogunquit area) is absolutely amazing!
Looks absolutely beautiful. Maine was always a place I wanted to visit.
If you get the chance, you really should!
Okay. Now I want to go to Maine just to get a picture with the big lobster!!! Beautiful pictures. I’ve never been. It’s on my list!!!
If you go by a big lobster like that…you just have to stop for pics! The coast is beautiful and relaxing too!
That scenery is amazing and I love the lobsters!
It was a beautiful trip! The lobsters just put it over the top! It spanned the rooftop of the restaurant – couldn’t miss it if you wanted to!
