Just what we needed..

This was my fifth stay at Castlewood. This was my daughter and my sister’s first time in Maine. I was just as excited to witness their reaction to this beautiful state as I was about this beautiful property and the views. It was a comfortable respite to begin another beautiful year of making memories..

Lovely cottage

This is the third time my husband and I stayed at this property and we love it for a winter getaway. Quiet, clean, super comfortable and right on a small cove. You can see fantastic sunrises. You can do some rock collecting. We will be coming again!

Thanksgiving, coastal paradise

The Castlewood Cottage is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully decorated with a 180° view of Owls Head Harbor is magnificent. The yard, beach and water views are memorizing! Watching the waterfowl was awesome! We saw: Loon. Mergansers, surf Scoters and best of all Long-tailed ducks. I made a lovely non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner that included Lobster. We dined at Long Grain in Camden, it was Fabulous. We had a MOST MEMORABLE meal at Primo on our last night. We could not have planned a better Thanksgiving holiday. We will definitely return the Castlewood Cottage. Thank you!
