About the employer
Camden Maine Stay Inn is a small bed-and-breakfast with 8 guest rooms in a historic neighbourhood of Camden, Maine, a coastal town known as "Where the Mountains Meet the Sea." There is a spacious yard with flower gardens, stone paths and a mountain stream, and the harbour and downtown are a four-minute walk away.
The owners have employed seasonal workers from Europe every summer since 2018 and say you work with them, not for them. Guests come from across the USA and abroad. Nearby you can kayak, sail, swim, fish or hike in Camden Hills State Park.
