There used to be a hotel on this site, but it was torn down in 1920. The tower was built on the site on the former hotel, and several stones from the hotel were used in the construction of the tower. There's a rather strenuous hike to the top of the mountain, but you can also drive right to the top within Camden Hills State Park. #mabattie #camden #camdenhills #maine #sunset #tower #goldenhour](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6051128/9e1db253-cea1-4d10-9958-c32224ba48a6.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Camden Hills State Park 10 min walk \- 0.6 miles - Camden Harbor Park and Amphitheatre 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - Camden Opera House 5 min walk \- 0.3 miles ### Getting around - Belfast Station 27 min drive - Rockland, ME (RKD-Knox County Regional) 22 min drive ### Restaurants - Lucky Bettys 5 min walk - Salt Wharf 11 min walk - Sea Dog Brewing Company 4 min walk - The Waterfront 6 min walk - Cuzzy's 4 min walk ## About this property ### The Optimist Guesthouse 2 - BRAND NEW Luxury Downtown Camden Apartment Property highlights The Optimist Guesthouse 2 - BRAND NEW Luxury Downtown Camden Apartment provides a gym and more.

It was a perfect spot for our ski weekend. The instructions and communication was very prompt and clear making the process seamless. We would definitely stay again! ##### Melissa R. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maryann S. 25 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The Optimist guesthouse was modern yet full of history and original mill touches. Very clean, bed was comfy and the location couldn’t be beat! Extra special was the mini gym and sauna. Also loved having 40 Paper steps away in single digit weather. We were in Camden to visit friends and see a show at Camden Opera House. We typically stay at The Lord Camden Inn but this was more private and the outdoor deck will be wonderful in warmer weather. We will be back! Also Ryan was very responsive when we had questions. Only thing I’d change is kitchen faucet is plumbed backwards. Lever towards you for hot! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/168f5595-0a01-44eb-bee0-96f587f768fc-1769367724783.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Maryann S.
