The house was perfect for us. It was clean and comfortable and well appointed. The location is private and the views are spectacular. Nice beach too. We will definitely stay there again.
We loved our stay at Castlewood Cottage! Life was perfect for our week in Owls Head. Views were breathtaking at all times of the day. Cottage was absolutely charming. Hoping to return to this picturesque haven.
Close to rockland and port Clyde. Amazing property on the water of a beautiful lobstering harbor. It was our second stay and we are planning another next year.
Beautiful quaint, cozy cottage with amazing views. Clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed for our stay. Great master bedroom with amazing view overlooking the bay (great views from all rooms). A nice peaceful place to relax after spending a few days at Acadia and Bar Harbor. We all enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend.
Our 4th time staying here and hasn't disappointed yet. A perfect couples getaway. Right on water, close to all theOwl's Head/Rockland area has to offer but with a secluded feel. Owners are awesome with great communication.
This was our fifth year staying a month and we didn’t want to leave! Staying here is a delight. The setting and views are unmatched in mid-coast Maine. The house is charming, well decorated and fully equipped. We have booked for next year for a month, and can’t wait to return.
My family and I had a wonderful time at the Castlewood Cottage! I would highly recommend it, the sunrises are amazing and the house is very clean and comfortable. We plan on staying there again in the future!
Always a great, unique pleasure to stay ere. The hosts are fantastic and the house is better than advertised. Looking for to another return trip next year!!!
This was a mother/son retreat and my sixth stay at Castlewood. I am still amazed at this stunning location and G continues to be a most gracious host! My stay was comfortable as always and I look forward to creating more memories.
We had the best time. The cottage was the best place to stay at. It exceeded all my expectations and then some. I would love to stay here again in the future.
Our fifth summer at this cottage explains why we love coming to this beautiful vacation home. The views of lobster boats and sailboats outside cannot be beat. The furnishings are beautiful and the location is perfect for a quiet stay or day trips along the coast.
