Castine House Summary

On the Atlantic Ocean! Revolutionary War Era Castine Maine is a magical Island-like town, lined with American Elm trees, and nestled right at Penobscot Bay! This adorable very large 1906 converted carriage house on its 1+ acre lot is secluded perched next to Witherlee Woods on one of Castine's most historic and pretty streets, Battle Ave. The house itself is interesting to look at and unique, being converted in the mid nineteen eighties from a carriage house, still keeping many facets of when it was a horse barn! There are 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, a big family room, and all kinds of nice amenities - a big screen TV, a pool table, an outdoor gas grill, a big deck with furniture that can accommodate large family gatherings. Rooms have everything like linens and even tissues. There are wonderful kitchen utensils, pots, pans and dishes, waffle makers and blenders We have many books, DVDs, board games, puzzles and a croquet set and even horseshoes . Next to The Manor.

Notes: This is a great house to rent for a big family reunion or for a smaller group that would enjoy spread out living space! A couple we know finds it a great retreat for just the two of them. Yet families of twenty folks have been quite comfortable! We sleep 5 couples very comfortably and privately --and more people are easily accommodated by using pull out beds and other available 'beds' We have DSL for your laptops and lots of cable TV stations as well as DVD and VCR and a stereo and many books and lots of games besides a pool table and a caretaker on the premises who will assist you quite unobtrusively to make your stay in our fascinating home even better! Names, and addresses of guests will be required upon check-in. We have four historic & beautiful churches in Castine that will welcome. A playground for the kids is near our town library. Babysitters, Spa dates ,boating, Tarot Readings for fun, live music, and, of course, Lobster and Clam Bakes can be arranged


Castine House Details

Great if you are flying as everything is here : Just bring your clothes and groceries and settle right in! We provide all linens and toilet paper and some soaps. So we are an especially appealing destination for folks flying in with suitcase limitations or even if you are driving and just do not want to bring bedding and all. Witherle Woods abuts the property, providing a very serene setting and nice walks in the woods when you are not enjoying the water or town. Battle Avenue is a wonderful vacation destination, perfect for a large family and their well-behaved pets. A really special treat of the house is its big (12x12) and private tower room which has folding stairs to make it inaccessible for little kids as the steps are steep to the tower and that is part of the fun of it! We are next door to The Manor Bed and Breakfast which is a great place for a big wedding, although our home works well for smaller weddings and all family reunions!. If you have a wedding at The Manor, then your extra guests can lodge with us!

Well behaved dogs are very welcome! : Dogs that know how to behave themselves are welcome to stay with you in the house. Dogs may exercise outdoors in a 20 foot x 20 foot run we have provided for your dog's security. Pet owners should use common sense and clean up after their dogs and maintain dogs at all times on leash when out and about in Maine. We have leash laws here in Castine. For a whimsical look at our home and lots more pictures, check out MySpace

Computer usage : You will need a wireless notebook adapter plug-in for lap top or notebook computer and then you will be able to use our DSL anywhere in the house!

Ski: To heck with skiing, it is Summer in Maine and we can arrange a Lobster and Clam Bake for everyone in you group either at the Backshore Beach at Sunset or at our place on the Deck! The delivered Maine Seafood Bake is a lot of fun!!!

Golf: There is a wonderful Golf Course just one mile from our house on Battle Ave and an easy walk, and as our guest you can play the nine holes there daily in the summer months. There is a modest fee to do this. There are tennis courts, too.

Guest Book: You'll want to come back to Castine! In fact you will probably want to buy your own Summer House or Year Round place in Castine one day! It is a magical spot on this Earth! Go to our MySpace site and see a slide show of house and yard photos--enjoy!

Other Activities: kayaking, biking and hiking in the woods on trails and numerous historic sites and places of interest to view while on walking tour of peninsula
