About this cottage rental

Newly renovated cottage with 4 bedrooms. Two bathrooms and laundry. Living dining areas with bamboo floors. Unique custom furniture. Phone, cable TV, and wireless high speed internet included.
There is a large deck attached to the rear of the house. Half is open for loads of sunshine and half is covered and screened for solid comfort. Early breakfasts or sunset dinners are to be enjoyed in the screened porch. Gas grill is supplied.
Large back yard with fire pit (firewood provided) that backs up to twenty-five acres of Maine woods. A short walk through the woods takes you down to the tidal stream and countless adventures. Down the road and across brings you to Morse's cove, and the Penobscot river. The Webster family ran schooners and fishing boats from here in the late 1800's. The old boat house is now the family cabin.
Castine and the surrounding area is steeped in history. The village is a perfect New England village featuring a working harbor, a restored lighthouse, a natural history museum, the oldest continually running post office in the country, along with countless other attractions.
From fine dining to the best Lobster rolls around, you can find it all in the village. From sailing in the bay to laying on Back Shore Beach, and visiting the many revolutionary forts, you will find plenty to keep you busy.
Mount Desert Island is only an hour away and the beauty of Acadia National Park and the honky-tonk village of Bar Harbor and all the tourist shopping you will ever want.
A little closer -- and in a world all their own -- are Deer Isle and the beautiful village of Stonington. Just off shore is Isle au Haute, and another section of Acadia National Park. It is accessible only by Mail boat twice each day.
The Honeymoon Cottage is a great centrally-located spot to venture from and, just as important, a great place to rest and relax in and around nature!

The property owners were great from the start. We arrived late, after 10pm, on the day of check-in, and Paul worked with us to get us into the cottage. When we first walked in we felt immediately comfortable and at home. The cottage was spotless and well appointed. It had everything we needed. The kitchen especially was well equipped. The grocery store was close by in Blue Hill so that we could stock up on food for our stay. The rooms were perfect for our three kids, and we slept so well on the master bedroom bed! Castine itself is a gem! We ate lunch at the town dock and took a tour of the Penobscot Bay on Lil' Toot and got to see seals, osprey, cormorants, and eagles. Lil' Toot's skipper is very knowledgeable and a great guide! Everyone in town was so nice! We went to the Compass Rose at least two times! Backshore Beach ended up being a favorite for our family to find all kinds of treasures as we walked the shore. We enjoyed the Wilson Museum collection and the hands on activities they had for the kids. Castine is a little over an hour from Acadia National Park depending on the time of day, and we were able to go there and drive the park loop enjoying Cadillac Mountain, Thunder Hole, and Jordan Pond. We also went to The Great Main Lumberjack Show with Timber Tina and had a blast! This was our first trip to Maine and we fell in love with Castine. We can't wait to return and see more! We would love to stay at the Honeymoon Cottage again!

The house was very clean and comfortable. The short walk to the Cove was a definite plus; we did it several times. We loved watching the sunset from the screened in porch, and cooking was easy in the well-equipped kitchen. Paul was very kind and responsive. We had a wonderful time.

We enjoyed the cleanliness and comfy beds. House had everything we needed to come home and relax and wake up and start our day of exploring Maine. We were able to spend a day traveling seeing sights on the way to Booth Bay and go to the Cabbage Key Clambake and enjoy a lobster meal, boat ride, and sunset on the island. Went to Acadia and spent the day exploring. Also enjoyed taking “Scarlet” golf cart tour with Bev sharing the points of interest and history of Beautiful Castine. On that day we got to witness the Historic Boudoin ship come into the harbor. We loved Castine. Visited the Penobscot Bridge and fort on our way to driving on Hwy 1 to explore the different sites and eat lobster. We enjoyed lobster everyday during our 5 days. We also had a great breakfast buffet at the Castine Inn one morning on their porch. We also took a day to explore on our way to Stonington. We missed the Ferry to Isle of Haught but that would have been fun to do. So you can see your home is located in a very good location to branch out and do a variety of things!

Very clean, good location, and friendly host. We were looking for a comfortable place from which to explore the mid coast of Maine, and this place worked fine. Plenty of beds, a nice deck to relax on, and a well stocked kitchen.
