Stearns and his family lived in the Norumbega Castle until his death in 1895. The Norumbega Inn, complete with a Jacuzzi and badminton and croquet on the grounds, is near Camden Harbor, which is visible from the inn's balconies. It is close to the Camden Snow Bowl downhill ski area as well as cross-country ski trails. The Victorian-style cottage, built in 1888, also boasts views of Camden Harbor. A collectors dream, the interior is filled with a vast supply of antique toys and teddy bears.
Sculptures created by one of the innkeepers also adorn the inn.
This old sea captain's house was built during the War of 1812 in the Federal style of architecture and is furnished with antiques and gas fireplaces in many rooms. Visitors can climb a spiraling four-story staircase to get views of the Kennebunk River. The detail on the inn's cherry and mahogany paneling throughout the interior took 10 years to finish because of its intricate detail. At the landing of the stairway is an elaborate painted spruce tree. Built in 1865, and one of the town of Bethel's oldest buildings, the inn was the home of 19th-century composer William Rogers Chapman, founder of the Metropolitan Music Society and the Maine Music Festival.
