About this property
Large Cottage w Ocean Views.
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, artifacts 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.
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!
Five bedrooms total.
Five queens, two twins. Sleeps 12.
Optional: New, and adorable, Tiny House is separated by 6’ from BH. Extra fee $149/ night applies).
Also new: Carriage House (CH) is available separately and sleeps 6-8 in three 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. IOW: 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.

Why they chose this property
Sensational sunrises, surreal silence (except for a predawn rock concert by area birds), and stones throw from all area attractions make this an excpetional property for people who want to relax , nap, and/ or swim sail, hike. For large groups it is perfect because everyone's needs can be met. In addition the privacy of s'west Castine sets it apart from the noise, traffic and raucous of n'east Castine
What makes this property unique
Location, location, vacation! This cottage is situated at the intersection of activity and seclusion. One can walk 10-15 minutes in any direction and discover a treasure: The Wilson Museum, The Lighthouse, or Back-shore , Witherle Woods or in-town. The Country Club for tennis and golf or the Yacht Club for sailing are also both in walking distance.- and open to the public!
That's IF you feel you must leave the house but if you decide to curl up with a book, easy Adirondack chairs, or multiple picnic tables make hanging out quite OK. Oh, yeah and there's a clawfoot tub on the third floor for soaking after a long day in Acadia!
