Family Fun At 931 Castine Rd!

This 4 bedroom house sleeps 8 comfortably. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large kitchen and living area upstairs. Downstairs is a lounge area and 2 bedrooms. Outside is a spacious deck and lawn area for games as well as a fire pit. This house is located 5 miles from the Backshore Beach and 6 miles from downtown Castine and Maine Maritime Academy. It is a great house for families or groups of friends. It is about a 45 minute drive south to Belfast and a 45 minute drive north to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

We have a new heat pump located upstairs so the house can be heated or cooled to your desire. If the heat pump is not needed it can be turned off.

I would like to let you know that I personally clean my property after each stay except for a few times in the summer when I am away. At this time a trusted friend cleans that understands my standards and expectations. I do not use a cleaning service.
This is how I cleaned before the Corona Virus outbreak and this is how I will continue to clean after it for your safety and comfort.
-All bath towels are white so they are washed in hot water and bleach.
-All bed linens are washed in hot water
-We have a dishwasher for kitchenware so it is sanitized in hot water
-All floors are steam mopped
-Hard surfaces are cleaned with disinfectant wipes or spray
-I use organic cleaners and soaps whenever possible such as Method Antibac
-All commonly touched items are cleaned after every stay (doorknobs, remotes, etc.)
-If you find something is not to your satisfaction, please let me know.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Cute little getaway house!

Access to many cute towns in under an hour, close to Acadia National Park, and tucked away into the woods for a sense of privacy in nature! Only struggle was keeping the place cool enough... but it was definitely unseasonably warm.

Hidden gem!

Well-kept, comfortable and charming house! We loved the deck and the firepit, and our young adult sons loved having the lower level as their space. Well-appointed kitchen, clear instructions, communicative host. We absolutely loved it and would definitely stay here again.

Great place for families and dogs!

This house is a great setup for families with kids and dogs! Ample linens and kitchen supplies to allow families to cook their own meals. The house is older, but clean and functional. The kids loved the extra den space downstairs. The setting is quiet and away from crowds - just what we wanted. About 15 minutes to groceries and restaurants, an hour to Acadia, making it a great 'home base'. The fire pit outside was a nice bonus. Will definitely look to stay again if we return to the area!

The house is set up nicely. Everything we needed was there. Plenty of space for teens to be downstairs with their own nice space. We loved the nice kitchen. Nice deck, lovely yard, flowers, greenery, can’t see the neighbors unless you really try. Everything worked as it should. We had a very nice time.

Wonderful Family Vacation Stay

Our family of 8 enjoyed our visit to Maine and the home on Castine Rd. We visited Acadia for 2 days and enjoyed a visit to Castine. We loved our afternoon at Back shore beach at low tide. The home was very comfortable and spacious for our family and well stocked with essentials. We enjoyed eating lobster on the deck. Katrina provided so much helpful information and was so easy to communicate with. We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay.

The cottage is very comfortable and well maintained and is located perfectly in between all of the upper coastal areas. There is a sense of privacy, which is lovely at night. I highly recommend staying at this cottage if you are visiting the Belfast, Camden, Bar Harbor and Arcadia area.

Cozy house location was great !

Cozy house! Had a few hot days but air conditioning did a good job on first floor. Bottom floor was on cooler side and fine with fans. Only disappointment was the grill racks were rusty so we didn’t feel we could grill . Location was good in between location for everything we wanted to do. Acadia was only 1 hr away. A lot to do in the area and host was welcoming!

Wonderful Family Trip to Maine

I planned this trip flying to Boston and then ultimately staying the bulk of time in this wonderful home with my children (8 years to 20 years range). I was a little nervous on the drive of the distance/remoteness but any worry left as I went on, it was like driving through a magazine or movie, so gorgeous. The home is spacious and well supplied for comfortable sleep, cooking, & relaxing. We all enjoyed hanging out there, loved the small town of Castine, enjoyed the drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor area for some activities and day trips but I was always glad and relieved to drive back to this home. My kids loved hanging out in the quiet downstairs. The fire pit, large yard, grill, outdoor eating tables were a wonderful bonus. We all sure hope to return sometime!!! Next time I will fly into Bar Harbor and enjoy this diverse area instead of trying to see so much in one trip.

Great accommodation and neighboring area

The house was spacious, well equipped, very comfortable and ideal for family vacations. Bar Harbor about 50 mins away, limited 'shopping', but plenty of sights in the neighboring areas. The only down side is the excess of ticks in the area, but that's native to Maine these days. Overall a very enjoyable week away!!

Fantastic stay

We stayed at Katrina’s beautiful home for my daughter’s wedding in Orland, only 20 minutes away. I know the area and usually stay on or close to Little Deer Isle, but I’ve always loved Castine as well, which is only 10 minutes from this cottage. It had every convenience imaginable, was impeccably clean, and I would have given it 5 stars for every category, except our checkout time was changed to earlier than we had agreed to. One of my main criteria when I rent is having a later checkout time for medical reasons. But everything else about our stay was superb! I especially appreciated Katrina’s extra care to reduce the Covid risk.
