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, ample seating, and a wood-burning stove.

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.

This home was perfect for our family! We love nature and water. Cappy’s retreat manor you feel like you are surrounded by only nature. A private beach, a sitting area to enjoy the breeze from the river, and a fire pit to enjoy S’mores. This was our first time to Maine and we were not disappointed.

Nice home, with an average view of the river. No A/C, which I learned was pretty common in Maine. The home got pretty warm a few afternoons, where A/C would've been nice. Guest bathroom shower has no hot water and TV requires a Harvard degree, we finally figured it out Day 2. I've listed all the negatives, but it really isn't a bad home. Great kitchen with all the necessities, including a Lobster Pot!! We ran a mile down the road to Hannafords and bought dinner to cook at home, 3 of the 4 nights. Saved us some cash!

Beautiful secluded scenic lot overlooking the river. House is a little older and in need of some updates like the mattresses, more seating area to watch TV, etc. Only there five days and TV went out whenever it rained, one outage took a 57 minutes call to DISH network to get it working. WiFi weak at best and non existent other times. Board games missing parts. As pointed out previously, river access is very difficult and not for kids. No Keurig style coffee maker and knives are butter knife sharp. Some road noise that could bother some, especially when motorcycles go by. There is also a fan that runs constantly that can be heard from MB. Oh. and the dishwasher broke requiring another service request. House was surface clean but when we dropped something and looked under the bed and vanity we saw previous guests stuff. We paid to enjoy the house and not deal with issues and would not stay again.

Cappy's retreat is a wonderful get-a-way. The home is very nice and comfortable with a beautiful setting away from the busy towns. It was well stocked for our needs. We were thankful for the generator as the power went out twice the week we were there but the generator kicked in right away. We enjoyed Stockton Springs and visited Fort Knox. Took a drive to Camden and enjoy many of the local spots in Belgin. Maine is a beautiful place and Cappy's retreat was a perfect house for us. A bigger coffee pot would have been nice and be aware of the steep driveway but it's very manageable. All in all it was a great vacation. I would stay here again.
