I have been coming to Castine since I was a child and have loved spending summers here. We have been renting out our cottage "Moonrise Anchorage" next door for almost 20 years and this year are adding the main house. Castine is a unique, magical place, and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Our house is in the perfect location, an easy stroll into the center of town, with the best view of the harbor from almost every window.
