The cottage is so charming with its wood floors and light filled rooms. The view was probally one of our favorite things about the cottage along with a little chipmonk who came to visit every morning on the porch to eat from the rose bushes. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. The cottage is so close to in-town Castine with all it's wonderful history. We enjoyed grabbing a breakfast sandwich and a coffee from the shops and sitting under the covered picnic benches on the dock to watch the boats come in. The beach was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and it is less than a 2 minute drive from the cottage. The location of the cottage is also great. We were able to visit many other towns including Bar Harbor, Camden and Deer Isle to name a few. Constance and Steve were wonderful and friendly host. They made check in and out a breeze. We truly enjoyed our time here! ![In-town Castine](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aecd5417-9f9b-4f76-a1d7-ff913c8163c0-1753568290147.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the docks in Castine.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b3a90b15-6354-4b50-b189-531a9843ac7f-1753568286112.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Castine's harbor](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f8a9960b-f25d-4ee9-8a75-2a8305611e23-1753568286274.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Castine's beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76db8a00-19be-4724-bbe1-3bb7d6d99b1d-1753568290931.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### jessica w.

Because we arrived late in the evening, Constance left lights on and house unlocked. There was a vase of fresh flowers welcoming us. We spent a day in Castine, a day in Acadia National Park, and made two trips to Deer Isle and Stonington to meet friends and eat lobsters. We cooked a couple of meals and ate breakfast everyday in house. Everything worked as well as expected. ##### Wei Y.

The apple trees surrounding the house created a lovely setting and made wonderful pies! The house was clean and comfortable for the most part especially the beds. We did find the furniture not to be comfortable and a bit outdated. However over all we had a wonderful stay and would stay there again. ##### Shirley C.

Its cozy and has marvelous views of the cove from the deck. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need. It was a perfect layout for us. My elderly mother stayed in the bedroom on the first floor and had access to her own bathroom. My husband and I stayed on the second floor with our own bathroom. The rooms were flooded with natural sunlight and great air flow. We are excited to come back to Castine and stay again. We were close to town so we could see the sites and visit with our extended family. It was a truly magical week! I highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay in the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mary R., Pagosa Springs, CO Jul 29, 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Location #### Disappointing Could be a beautiful property but very musty and noisy due to proximity to road. ##### Mary R.

House was perfect and just what we needed. The profile says it all. It is a storybook cottage with views of the cove and even had a wonderful apple tree with apples all over it. Other reviews talk about the road and it smelling old. None of this was true at all. Never heard a single car and felt after pulling in the driveway that you were miles away from reality. Is it an older cottage, yes but that is what makes it amazing. This is what you would picture a Maine cottage to be. Only hope we can stay again sometime soon. It was hard to say goodbye not only to our son but to the cottage as we head back south to realty! ##### Peter Z.

The house and property were exactly as shown in the pictures; in fact we found several of the rooms to be larger than we expected from their photos. The house was very light, with large windows; the location was quiet and peaceful; and the view of Hatch Cove was lovely. The beds were extremely comfortable, as was the seating, and the kitchen was well-stocked. An earlier reviewer commented negatively on several things, none of which we found to be a problem. The wifi worked well, as did all the appliances, and there were certainly no issues with low tide smell. The house was a typical rural New England vacation home; perhaps the reviewer expected something different but it was exactly what we had hoped for. ##### Susan P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucia R.

My husband and I loved our two week vacation here. This cottage has the charm and quaintness of traditional Maine coastal summer cottages while also providing modern conveniences. There was plenty of space for us. The kitchen was well provisioned for a variety of cooking. The view from the deck was lovely….we very much enjoyed watching the tide come and go in Thatch Cove. The owners were very helpful and attentive. The cottage was very clean and made up when we arrived. The town of Castine was perfect. Active yet still quiet, there are many wonderful activities. Abundant hiking trails are all over along with a beautiful swimming beach that features incredible sunsets. Several dining options are available in town (highly recommend The Pentagoet Inn!). My husband and I have been vacationing in Maine for 20 plus years and place this property close to the top of the list of our favorites. We highly recommend! ##### Lucia R.

Jul 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Charming but small We enjoyed our stay and loved the beautiful flowers and grounds. This house is a typical New England home that we Southerners were not prepared for. I did not realize that it did not have air conditioning. Being from the South, I just assumed that all houses have central heat and air now. Anyway, we got really hot in the afternoons. Parking several vehicles is somewhat of a problem. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes the first time we used it, so we had to wash dishes every meal. Also, there is a sharp corner on the brick border of the wood burning stove. We all stumped our toe on it, but my daughter hurt her toe very bad and lost her toe nail. Also, the downstairs toilet was either leaking or had extra condensation. We had to keep a towel around it. The view of the water was beautiful, but there is no access to it. Downtown Castine is super close and was fun to visit. ##### Joy V.
