In Love with Castine!
The property owners were great from the start. We arrived late, after 10pm, on the day of check-in, and Paul worked with us to get us into the cottage. When we first walked in we felt immediately comfortable and at home.
The cottage was spotless and well appointed. It had everything we needed. The kitchen especially was well equipped. The grocery store was close by in Blue Hill so that we could stock up on food for our stay. The rooms were perfect for our three kids, and we slept so well on the master bedroom bed!
Castine itself is a gem! We ate lunch at the town dock and took a tour of the Penobscot Bay on Lil' Toot and got to see seals, osprey, cormorants, and eagles. Lil' Toot's skipper is very knowledgeable and a great guide! Everyone in town was so nice! We went to the Compass Rose at least two times! Backshore Beach ended up being a favorite for our family to find all kinds of treasures as we walked the shore. We enjoyed the Wilson Museum collection and the hands on activities they had for the kids. Castine is a little over an hour from Acadia National Park depending on the time of day, and we were able to go there and drive the park loop enjoying Cadillac Mountain, Thunder Hole, and Jordan Pond. We also went to The Great Main Lumberjack Show with Timber Tina and had a blast!
This was our first trip to Maine and we fell in love with Castine. We can't wait to return and see more! We would love to stay at the Honeymoon Cottage again!
