Welcome to your classic Maine summer escape—where rustic charm meets simple comfort and unforgettable water views.
This charming getaway is sparkling with fresh energy under new management—but don’t let the lack of reviews fool you! The same dedicated owners, with over 50 years of loving care for this home, are still behind every thoughtful detail. Experience the tradition and warmth guests have enjoyed for decades, now with an exciting new touch!
This cabin is one of four on our private waterfront property—family-run and welcoming guests since 1950. For generations, families have returned here year after year to experience a true Maine summer. Each cabin is fully separate, offering privacy while still being close enough for group gatherings. Traveling with a larger group? Rent multiple cabins—perfect for reunions, retreats, or trips with friends. Just message us and we’ll help coordinate availability!
This two-bedroom, one-bath cottage is fully equipped for a relaxing stay, featuring a private screened-in porch overlooking the water—perfect for morning coffee, rainy afternoons, or sunset unwinding.
Step back in time to an old-school coastal getaway, with warm wood interiors, traditional details, and space for everyone (pets welcome!).
The cottage includes:
Two comfortable bedrooms Full kitchen with all essentials (yes, including a lobster pot ) Cozy living and dining area with pullout couch Outdoor hibachi grill Private 8’ x 14’ screened-in porch with water views Classic Maine touches: braided rugs, maple floors, knotty pine walls
Outdoor fun & waterfront living: Let the kids roam and enjoy the kind of summer that never goes out of style—croquet on the lawn, wiffleball games, frisbee, a walk along the shoreline. Bring your kayak and take it out for a peaceful morning paddle, pack a picnic and explore nearby Mayo Point, or end the day with a quiet canoe ride as the sun sets over the harbor.
Location: Castine, Maine Nestled along the coast, Castine is a true hidden gem. This historic seaside town offers stunning ocean views, a peaceful pace, and deep roots in early American history—including Revolutionary War naval battles. Today, it’s home to a proud community of lobstermen and one of Maine’s most picturesque harbors.
Please note - this rental does not have a washer/dryer or a television. There is internet access for your devices. The cabins are not air conditioned -- they are set on a bluff with sea breezes -- nature's air conditioning!
