Cappy's Retreat
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
With a wonderfully scenic and central location on the shores of the Penobscot River, this light-filled home in Stockton Springs is surrounded by both summer splendor and incredible fall color. Enjoy a large deck (and a smaller sitting deck) with a view of the water and the tranquil forest, a backyard firepit where you can tell stories and roast marshmallows, and a lovely living space with high ceilings, immense windows, and ample seating.
What’s nearby:
This waterfront home sits near the meeting point of the Penobscot River and Penobscot Bay, secluded yet surrounded by some of the most beloved areas of Maine. In this spot between Camden (33 miles southwest) and Bar Harbor (43 miles southeast), you can easily explore the beauties of the Midcoast, Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park (39 miles southeast). You'll be two miles south of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, less than three miles north of Sandy Point Beach, and four miles north of the town of Stockton Springs.
