"The Honeymoon Cottage" - Just a short walk to the cove

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!

Come stay with us and enjoy life on the coast of Maine
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great place to stay
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.

We enjoyed our stay!
There were 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 children. We had plenty of beds for sleeping, as long as some are willing to share. The living room was big enough, though some of us had to sit in dining room chairs. We were able to sit at the dining room table and the screened in porch to eat. Our group was very large, and we all get along pretty well, so we thought it was comfortable. They had everything we needed for cookware and for preparing our meals. We greatly enjoyed ourselves.

Perfect. Quiet. Clean.
This house was perfect for 3 adults and 4 teenagers. Plenty of room for all of us to be comfortable. Super clean. Close to the Town of Castine, small but quaint and full of history. Only an hour drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia. Paul and Rachel were very responsive and helpful. I’d highly recommend staying here, and will look to book again should we return.

Lovely little house
Our family of four enjoyed our stay at the honeymoon cottage in August. The house was very clean and most everything we needed was provided. The outdoor space plus the screen porch were especially lovely. A few things to be aware of: - Plan to do some driving. The adorable town of Castine is about 10 minutes away. There are a few restaurants there but they do tend to be busy and we found one of them was closed to the public for a couple of the nights we were there which limited our options. -The kitchen is well equipped with dishes, glasses, utensils and pots and pans which were of surprising quality for a rental. However there are no staples provided beyond small salt and pepper shakers. So if you plan to do any cooking make sure to stock up on anything you need at the grocery store. -The house sits close to the road. There isn't a lot of traffic but it is noisy when cars or trucks go by and it tends to be busier early in the morning. I assume people not lucky enough to be on vacation are heading to work. -The living area is not as spacious as it appears in the pictures. The couch and chair are comfy and the smart tv is nice. The internet worked quite well! But there wasn't really enough room for two adults and two teenagers to be comfortable together in the space. Luckily (?) our kids were happy with their bedrooms upstairs and spent their down time (we had two very rainy days!) lounging on their beds watching tv or movies on their phones. -There is an air conditioner in the living room window which we did not require the use of, but it was nice to know it was there. Here is my only complaint. The bed in the main floor bedroom is hideously uncomfortable. It managed to somehow be too hard and too soft at the same time. There were two craters in which to sleep and my husband (who really isn't that large) sunk far enough in to the mattress to be bothered by the metal frame of the bed.

Great House
This was a great house. It was a quiet area. The location was perfect for us. We saw deer on two different occasions. We were able to do day trips with ease. The house was very clean upon arrival. Even the grill outside was spotless. The owner was very nice and met us there when we arrived. He suggested we visit Stonington because it would not be as busy as some of the area attractions. It was a great spot.
