About this property
Charming 3-BR cottage in rural Historic District - authentic Maine experience!
- BogBrook Cottage with water views across the fields is one of the oldest existing dwellings in Castine (circa 1780). The cottage is replete with historic touches, eclectic antiques/ furnishings and three fireplaces. It also features an upscale kitchen addition. Relax on the rustic patio looking across the large country garden on two acres.
Just a mile from Castine's historic village center, this lovely retreat offers a delightful base from which to enjoy local events, explore the Blue Hill Peninsula and Acadia National Park (46 miles northeast).
Queen and single BRs are on the ground floor, with a second queen BR upstairs with the full bath. Washer/dryer are available on ground floor in the half bath.

We loved our stay in Castine! Ina was readily available for any questions while we were there. The gardens were beautiful, and the house was so clean. The kids loved all the kid books in the reading room, and the art throughout the house was so beautiful. Just a note that the steps up to the nice airy upstairs room/bathroom are very steep for older people or little kids, but there is a door at the bottom to latch for safety. Thank you for such a great stay!

Ina was a wonderful hostess. The home had a very lovely kitchen with anything you could want. The location was very convenient to downtown Castine. Remember your laptop if you want to watch a movie or such- no television but lots and lots of books! The view and back yard area were great!
