Directions to Castine Cottages
If you're looking for the perfect vacation spot to relax; away from the hustle and bustle of cities and towns, Castine offers such a spot, and yet it is the perfect location to get to many other points of interest.
Its natural beauty, quiet, well-kept streets, the sense of its historic past and the availability of the ocean, woods, meadows, harbor, and rock and sand beaches intrigue the visitor.
There is evidence of Colonial history eveywhere. Historic markers dot the town including Fort George, Fort Madison and homes where patriots and British rebels were hidden from His Majesty's soldiers. The simple beauty of the town reflects its former history and prosperity.
So we invite you to enjoy our spectacular view, which is beyond man to describe.
Toward the east there is a panorama of the Bagaduce River, Blue Hill, and the Brooksville Hills. Directly beneath us are the quiet waters of Hatch's Cove. Just beyond is Castine Harbor and Penobscot Bay.
Come enjoy the peace and quiet of our scenic location tucked away about 13 miles off of Route 1.
