About this hotel
Wake to the sound of the Megunticook river flowing by as you contemplate the day's adventures in Camden. The apartment blends modern elegance with cozy comfort. In the heart of downtown, The Optimist Guesthouse is perfect for travelers seeking a vibrant weekend getaway or an extended coastal adventure. The breezy balcony overlooking the river provides a peaceful spot to relax or enjoy a meal. The gym, shared by five apartments, features an infrared sauna for ultimate relaxation. The Optimist Guesthouse is located in the Knox Mill, a historic woolen mill built in the mid 1800s along the Megunticook River in downtown Camden, Maine. Operational until 1988, the mill specialized in producing wool felt. The Optimist's balcony looks over the scenic Megunticook River as it flows into town. The Optimist Guesthouse consists of five apartments, a lobby area, and a shared gym with infrared sauna. Down the hall you'll find our friends at 40 Paper Bistro & Bar, a delicious local eatery. Across the bridge you'll find The Jack bar and restaurant, and just up or down the street will bring you to all of the restaurants and attractions that Camden village has to offer. Being a retrofit of a historic building on a slab foundation, the plumbing is on a pump system, which you will hear when using water.
