Accommodations

This information is for anyone who needs to find a place to stay for the Maine Unschooling Mini Conference which will be held September 19 2015.  I did my best to share the information I was told or sent, but please double check everything with the establishment you book your stay with. The fall is a busy time in Maine, so I do suggest you book early!  - Laurie 


Country Inn, Camden/Rockport, ME 

On route 1 and less than 5 minutes away by car - We Love this hotel and used to stay here before we moved to Maine.  It's our favorite in the area!  They have a great breakfast bar in the morning, the staff was very kind and helpful, there is an indoor pool and free cookies each day.  There is also a small playroom.  The whole hotel is non-smoking.  There are a small number of rooms that allow pets for a ten dollar fee.  There is a restaurant and mini golf located next to the hotel.
