About this cottage rental

Situated in Castine, this charming cottage for $600 per night is a great choice for your next break. This is an immaculate, comfortable cottage. By 'comfortable' I mean well-appointed, attractive, plush furnishings but not priceless fragile family heirlooms. It does possess art, rugs and furniture by recognized Maine artists, and authentic nautical motifs throughout - some salvaged from the training ship of Maine Maritime Academy. Coastal but not cluttered. Everything is new or recently remodeled (2009)- Kitchen, Baths, Bedrooms, Hardwood floors, etc. Freshly landscaped, wooded boundaries, southern exposure, and view corridors to the sea provide the greenery, sunshine and warmth every vacation demands! Property is 500 yards from nearby Witherle Woods Wilderness Preserve- 168 acres overlooking 100' ocean bluff providing unobstructed views of Penobscot Bay: Get lost for 1-3 hours, discover abundance of Osprey, Eagle, Raccoon, and Deer. In fact, 38 bird species call this home! Three decks -and new Weber grill -provide ample opportunity and space to relax, ruminate and rusticate aka “grillin, chillin, and millin” 3.5 baths ensures hygiene never waits. Another full bath if you elect to include Tiny House. (See below) Minutes to the fine restaurants of downtown or “Back-shore” for sunset swimming and bonfires! Ideal for large family retreat or two-family getaway! And when/ if you tire of the slow, bucolic setting that is Castine, consider our cottage as base camp to other more hectic coastal enclaves such as Camden, Bar Harbor or the outer islands! Six Bedrooms total- if you opt for accessory bedroom in Tiny House. Five Queens, two twins in Big House (BH). One Queen futon and new conv couch in ‘optional’ adjacent Tiny House (TH). Sleeps 16. Please be advised it is two structures - it includes the Big House and a new Tiny House separated by 3’ from BH. (Optional TH: Extra fee $149/ night applies). The brand new Carriage House (CH) is also available separately and sleeps 6 in two bedrooms plus conv couch. In other words, you will be sharing the property but not accommodations. The only thing they share is the driveway. Assigned parking, separate laundry and outside sitting areas as well as mature landscape helps keep things private and orderly. If you rent one you can expect to find others enjoying the other. They were designed and sited to maximize privacy and optimize view corridors.

Castine was truly a great discovery. An adorable town with tons of history in a pristine setting. Very walkable area. We wound up staying in the carriage house on the property. The host was very friendly and easy to talk to. This is probably ideal for large parties that want to rent the entire compound since there is lots of varied space. Kitchen was well stocked with any appliance or tool we needed. Living space is on second floor so need to be able to handle stair and both bedrooms adjoin the main bathroom (Jack and Jill) thus probably better suited for close families than random acquaintances.

Our stay was great. House was clean and spacious. Location was perfect, but plan a good 30 - 45 minute drive to anywhere else. Owner was responsive to our inquiries during our stay and even ordered a fresh pie for us ( I have to say the Apple pie from the bakery was not good. Blueberry would have been preferred). Everything else was wonderful and would definitely visit again!

What a great house. EVERYTHING was supplied! Linens, towels, toilet paper, dinnerware, condiments, etc. Castine is a great town within easy walking distance from this house. Very historic with plenty to do. Although Ted was not in the country while we were there, he communicated with us via text. Plenty of parking, too. Castine Golf Club (1897) is a very tough nine hole course with fabulous greens. Also, don’t miss driving to Nervous Nelly’s…you will be surprised but not disappointed.

What a great two weeks! We had 17 people at one point and there was room for everyone. Some had to work while there, and the three separate cottages made that a breeze. Three full kitchens made cooking for a crew simple. Ted went out of his way to make sure we all had all we needed and then some! Castine is a precious town and we had a wonderful time exploring from a fabulous base!
