Photos and Description of this Castine holiday cabin 2 bedrooms, 3/4 bath, sleeps family w/2 children comfortably.

Cozy A-frame cottage, renovated in 2000. Five miles from historic Castine, and eight steps from the beach. We are located at the intersection of Routes 175 & 166, (1/5 mile off the main road) across from Fort Point State Park and Fort Point Lighthouse. The cottage faces west, allowing stunning sunsets. Views of Camden Hills, Sandy Point, Hersey Retreat, Isleboro, and all of Penobscot Bay. Fall asleep to the rhythm of the waves. More than 25 miles of coastline can be seen from the deck, and at low tide you can walk for miles in either direction. Seals, osprey, eagles, porpoise and more will be your visitors. We enjoy pets, but find that in unfamiliar surroundings they sometimes make poor neighbors. We have regretfully concluded that we cannot accommodate pets. Our cottage is smoke free, but guests are welcome to smoke outside.

Great Proximity to the Water

KRM Amherst, MA
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We just spent a wonderful week in the A-frame. While it's certainly cozy for a family of four, the easy access to the water and the big views from the deck make this place a gem. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and the location is ideal: Acadia is only an hour away, and we also spent a lot of time exploring Castine, Deer Isle, and the Blue Hill area. When not off exploring, we spent hours walking the beach that's just steps away from the cottage, and the owners provide kayaks, which we used every day. My kids (ages 5 and 12) loved the place, and even on the day it was rainy, we enjoyed playing board games inside with the lovely view of the water. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Exquisite spot

Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My husband and I loved this place! The cabin is a beautifully constructed, very steep A-Frame perched right at the edge of the Penobscot bay. Although the owners Jeff and Nancy are right next door you feel as though you have complete privacy. They were a perfect blend of helpful when we needed advice and hands off when we didn't. The deck, outdoor shower, views of the bay, and antique woodstove were some of our favorite features. Inside we had everything we needed to cook every day and sleep comfortably at night. Also, the driving throughout the Blue Hill peninsula is sublime, it felt like Scotland with lobsters! We think this place is absolutely perfect!!!

wonderful Columbus Day weekend

MMA mom Colchester, CT
Review Submitted: October 22, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
My husband, 16-year old son and myself stayed at the A-frame cottage over Columbus Day weekend while visiting our oldest son who attends Maine Maritime Academy. What a wonderful weekend...weather was gorgeous, and though while appearing on the small side, the A-frame served all our needs. There is a futon in living area that was very comfortable for our oldest. The small kitchen had everything necessary to prepare all our meals. There's a gas grill on the deck overlooking Penobscot Bay, and you are literally steps away from the water. The evenings were cool, but between the wood stove and the gas heater, we were quite cozy. There is a TV and DVD player, but no cable service. I would definetly recommend this cottage to a family with young children, and families with teenagers that don't mind "sacking out" on a futon. Jeff and Nancy were terrific. We plan on staying at the A-frame again.

Perfect getaway cabin.

Review Submitted: July 17, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
For couples or small families, this is the perfect getaway. Sunsets on the deck, right on the beach, kayaks provided and quirky charm. Jeff and Nancy live right next door and gave us lots of tips that made our stay more enjoyable.

We can't say enough of about this charming cottage. Our children loved playing on the beach for hours and it is in an ideal location for day trips to Bar Harbor,Camden/Rockland area,and Bangor. The cottage is well kept and has a large deck which is perfect for watching the sunset over the bay. The owners were incredibly helpful and pleasant. We would stay here again and again.
