Chris & Peggy, our totally gracious hosts at Red Windows, have created an absolutely perfect perch above the bay and islands of the coast for us visitors to enjoy the paradise that they're lucky enough to live in! The views are amazing. The location is perfect. The house is equipped with everything anyone would need (we cooked almost every meal there - even walked down to the dock at low tide to harvest some fresh mussels and cooked 'em up for dinner!) Don't even hesitate to make this your choice if you're visiting the area. It's Perfect!!!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young children) had a fantastic time in Chris and Peggy's spectacular guesthouse. It's beautifully designed, comfortable, cozy and a wonderful base to explore this specific region in Maine -- we loved Brooksville. It's an incredibly special spot to visit -- the views are wonderful, the drives breathtaking, the local sights fantastic, we could just go and on about what a wonderful time we had. We truly fell in love with Maine on this trip and the views from Red Windows are truly breathtaking. Our hosts, Peggy and Ralph, were incredibly welcoming and gracious hosts and have clearly thought through the details in order to make their guest house the most inviting place it can be. Don't hesitate for a second with this place -- it's a real find and you will have an unforgettable time!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Our week at, "Red Windows" was just wonderful! Chris and Peggy were a delightful couple to work with when first planning our trip. They were just as delightful to meet in person. The cottage was beautiful, with very interesting art work and one very special sculpture. The view across Smith Cove toward Castine was beautiful. You need to go see it for yourself..... fantastic! Every housekeeping detail was addressed with perfection. When we returned home to PA our refund check was already in the mail. Thank you Chris and Peggy for a wonderful week in Maine.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Staying at the Red Windows was an absolute treat. The cottage is gorgeous, very clean, bright and airy. It is nicely decorated and every detail in the house is well designed. The setting is breathtaking! One can see the sunset from the bedroom pillows, from the comfort of the living room, kitchen or dining area. There was no better way to relax than sitting on the patio with the soft breeze off the ocean, watching the sun carry across the bay. Our hosts, Peggy and Chris are the nicest people one can possibly meet. They were very friendly and knowledgeable on the area. We were invited twice to come over to their house for drinks and to watch never failing, magnificent sunsets. We felt like we were staying in a good friends’ home. Peggy and Chris were really welcoming and just getting to know them was definitely worth a visit. We highly recommend Red Windows for your next trip to Coastal Maine.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Wonderful, large, spacious cottage, overlooking water with terrific views toward Castine. Day or night, the view is spectacular. Great spot for walking and seeing nature in its uninterrupted form. Its location is an ideal spot to explore Blue Hill, Stonington, Deer Isle, and Acadia and the Schoodic Peninsula. The owners were helpful in suggesting places of interest which were beneficial in seeing the area. Great lobster possibilites in the immediate area, and lots of fresh produce. Glad I found Red Windows.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Our first trip to Maine was everything we had hoped it would be thanks to Peggy and Chris and Red Window Cottage. We relaxed each evening to incredible views of the cottage location is perfectly placed on the main coast to allow for easy drives to Acadia National Park and Camden for hiking and exploring. And did I mention the very comfortable bed?! Thanks Chris and Peggy for your company and great ideas for filling our days.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing.

This Brooksvile cottaged is as comfortable, clean, fully stocked and charming as any we have stayed in over the past 20 years coming to the this area. But what makes it a five star vacation is the extraordinary and diatand view west from the house as well as the patio -- to watch sunsets with your sangria -- and the unusually accomodating, friendly and knowledgabe host and hostess. We couldn't hope to do better (and the price is right).Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our week at Red Windows. Chris and Peggy made us feel like friends staying for a visit rather than renters. The peace and tranquility of the setting as well as the view of the bay was just what we expected. The location makes for convenient day trips along scenic byways. The house has many artistic features, many of them created by Chris, as well as all modern amenities. It is bright and airy. High speed internet access was very good. We wouldn't change a thing and hope others will discover Red Windows for themselves.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We simply loved this place! The view of Castine across the bay is beautiful. Just sitting on the deck and watching the Maritime Academy sailing regattas, the gorgeous sunsets, or the city lights reflected on the water was enough to sooth any soul. Peggy and Chris are most gracious and made many worthwhile recommendations for great food, good shopping, and interesting sights. We highly recommend this lovely spot.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our week at Red Windows was positively delightful. The setting is spectacular, with views out over the bay. The cottage itself includes some whimsical art and interesting design touches that make it feel very special. However, the real highlight of a stay at Red Windows is the opportunity to get to know Peggy and Chris who are wonderful hosts and very interesting people. We are grateful to them for their warm welcome, including and especially to our 11-year-old daughter.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The views of the water and the Islands were everything we hoped they would be. We took many fantastic day-trips from here: Acadia NP, Isle au Haut, Castine, but the highlight of our stay was watching the sun set over the islands and seeing the fireflies in the garden. This is a very comfortable house with everything we needed for a great visit- thanks Peggy and Chris!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
