Captain Swift Inn

About The Hotel

Rates on request. Captain Swift Inn is a 4.9-rated gem recently elevated by new owner-innkeepers Jessica and Matt, who have renovated rooms and invested deeply in every detail. The inn earns a perfect 5.0 cleanliness score and perfect service marks. Breakfasts are chef-quality and cooked to order, served alongside homemade cookies and local wines. Guests describe the welcome as family-like. Located on Elm Street in the historic inn district, it’s an easy walk to downtown and the harbor. As a small historic B&B, rooms are limited and availability is tight in peak season. This is a couples’ property, not family-oriented.

What Guests Are Saying

“We absolutely love Capt Swift Inn and visit both in the summer and every January for our anniversary. Recently, Jessica and Matt purchased the inn and have truly elevated our home away from home. They have done so many wonderful renovations, and their attention to detail is incredible, they’ve thought of everything! Jessica and Matt are exceptional innkeepers, and you can feel how much love and care they’ve poured into every aspect of the inn. We are beyond impressed and overjoyed with all they’ve done. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else for relaxation, an incredible breakfast, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps bringing us back year after year. Capt Swift will always be a very special place for us and now even more so.” — Debbie, 5 stars

“Some places become part of your story forever, and for us, The Captain Swift Inn will always be one of them. My boyfriend and I spent the weekend in Camden and got engaged while staying here, making it one of the most unforgettable weekends of our lives. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly that it truly felt like staying with family. The inn is charming, cozy, romantic, and filled with so many thoughtful details that make it feel magical without trying too hard. I wrote in the guest book that it was “the easiest yes in the most magical town,” and it really was. Thank you for helping create the kind of atmosphere where moments like that feel even more special. We’ll absolutely be back soon! — Jess W” — Jessica W., 5 stars

“Located within great close walking experience to local shops, parks, the sea, and restaurants. Booking with the hosts of the Inn proved to be exceptional with excellent follow up before and during our stay. The Inn has a great history and was impeccable upon arrival where we were greeted by the hosts who showed us around and what to expect during our stay. The Grace Bailey Suite was perfectly appointed with all the amenities listed on the website. Bed, sheets and towels were comfortable and elegant. The breakfast, cooked each morning by the hosts, was farm to table and quite good with fresh ground coffee obtained from a local store. The available wines / bubbly from local Cellar Door Wineries were quite good and reasonable. The hosts were the absolutely best in hospitality and truly made our trip most memorable! The Inn was perfect for our stay in Camden with lots to do and see in the surrounding area! A+++” — Richard G., 5 stars
