About this property

Our historic home is situated right on Main St in the heart of Castine. The home is across the street from the Castine Golf Course and two blocks to the shops. There is a large 1/2 acre yard off the back of the house perfect for kids to play and a large deck overlooking the yard and garden to enjoy the sun. The House had a major renovation in the summer of 2013 with a brand new updated kitchen, heating, windows, wiring, and paint. Our home has all the necessary amenities of a modern home (wifi, flat panel tv's, lighting) with the historic molding and charm of Castine. We have 4 bedrooms on the second floor with two more bedrooms on the third floor. Then an addition that houses a separate bedroom and bathroom area just off the main house for a total of 5 bedrooms. Great house for a large family or for multi-family stay in the heart of Castine, walking distance to everything.

Great to be in Castine

It was great to be in Castine in August with lots of space for our group. The house was plenty big for our 2 families to stay together and enjoy a week in downeast Maine. The listing doesn't give a clear description of bedrooms, but there are 7 total (5 queen and 2 twin beds). The kitchen has plenty of space and supplies to make yourself at home for the week and there is lots of room to spread out in the house as well.

Great stay in charming house in historic Castine

Charming historical house in lovely Castine. Clean, spacious with plenty of room to congregate or spread out. Lots of rooms to provide privacy. Nice yard for playing. Castine is off the beaten path so you won't run into the touristy crowds but you will need to do some driving to get to places. Town has a ton of history which makes it interesting.

Great stay in Castine

We had a great stay at this house in Castine. The house is large with plenty of room. Lovely porch for enjoying the fresh Maine air. The house and the whole town have a lot of historic charm. A few things we enjoyed most: hiking in Witherlee Woods (trails begin nearby the house), the night-time bioluminescent kayak tour with Castine kayak, and Hawaiian iced tea from the Castine Breeze & Variety store. We had a great time and would come back.
