Castine Cottages

The cottages are small but very clean and comfortable! The view is amazing! Even though there are several cabins in a row it still feels private and open.

Been coming to Castine Cottages since I was little. They are the perfect spot to relax and unplug for the week. Love sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and watching the sea gulls in the morning. Close enough to Bar Harbor and Camden for day trips. Castine is a lovely little town and the sunsets on the beach are beautiful.

Very relaxing spot to stay. These are older "rustic" but perfectly nice family run individual cabins overlooking a small part of Penobscot Bay. The cabin we stayed in for a week (and all 6 appear basically the same) have two bedrooms a bathroom with stall shower, living room and small but adequate kitchen (coffee maker, range, microwave and all pots and pans etc.). One bedroom had a full and the other two twins and the couch in the living room folded out. It is about a mile and a half from the small but historic village of Castine, which has a few places to eat and a waterfront area. There is also a beach in easy driving distance in Castine with a salt water pool (warmer) as well as a beach on the bay (free). We were there during COVID and it was perfect for "social distancing" with our own private living space, ability to have meals in etc. The property itself has a dock on the bay and you can swim off it at higher tides. It would be a perfect spot for kayaking in the protected bay but you need to bring your own or possibly rent locally (there is a place in Castine). There is a nature preserve (Witherle Woods) in Castine with nice hiking trails which look out over a larger part of Penobscot Bay. Bar Harbor and Mt Desert Island are about an hour away. They also they welcome dogs which was required for us. Don't expect luxury and you will be very happy here for a relaxed Maine getaway. And the internet worked fine!

Castine Cottages is a wonderful family run business. You will feel right at home in this warm, and natural environment. The view is incredible and the cabins are beautiful. I talked to a couple who have been coming to the cottages every summer for 22 years, makes you rethink your life a little! Definitely recommend!

You will be greeted by a friendly dog named Simba. The cottages have a wonderful view of the Bagaduce river. They are close to historical Castine, although you may want to drive since there is a steep hill and a couple of miles. They are a cosey 2 bedroom with a sitting room small kitchen and bathroom with shower. There is screened in porch, where you can watch the sunrise. Also outside is a fire pit area for all the cottages. Cottages are dog friendly.

Perfect home base for day trips to Bangor and Acadia. Cabins are definitely rustic but it is SO quiet and the stars are dazzling at night. Contact Diana / Alan directly instead of using a booking website - it'll be cheaper.

... Just like they look, simple cabins("camps") with a view of the majestic Penobscot. They're definitely "no frills" and city slickers may be insulted, but our family LOVED this place. It reminded me of my childhood when we stayed in similar camps on Rangeley Lake, Maine. Very homey atmosphere complete with Reader's Digest mag LOL

In town from Texas... Visited MANY times over the years and the cottages are great! 2 Bedrooms, living room and small but efficient kitchen. Also, great views.

Perfect place for a family gathering. Cottages are roomy, comfortable and allow for outdoor grilling and privacy. Plenty of things to do and see, with spectacular views right from the cottage porch!

What a great place, with magnificent views and delightful hosts!

Picturesque setting, quiet. Had to travel to find things to do. If you only want serenity, this is ideal.
