Two of us—my wife and I--spent nine nights at “The Captain’s Cottage” in Castine, Maine, recently. The cottage, located on a quaint, quiet in-town street, was our home base for a lovely vacation of hikes and drives around scenic Castine, Blue Hill, and Deer Isle. It was so welcoming—charming, cozy, and comfortable—and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, plus, all that the beautiful town of Castine has to offer (a lot!) was just a picturesque stroll away. Our hostess, Barbara, who lives in the house across the lawn, provided helpful pamphlets, maps, information on the history of Castine, and advice on places to go and things to see. There was even a plate of cookies waiting for us when we arrived! She was so accommodating and thoughtful. In addition, there was a great selection of books in a revolving bookcase in the living room. We highly recommend The Captain’s Cottage; we so enjoyed our stay there.
