Located in Historic Castine Village with spectacular views across the harbor over to Cape Rosier and of the grand schooners coming in under full sail.

This charming, rustic but fully equipped, cottage is just sixty feet from the waters edge and has easy steps leading down to the beach.

A unique blend of a small New England town with a common and seafaring village, Castine is exceptionally picturesque. Many of its homes date back to the American Revolution and the streets remainlined with majestic, hundred year old Elm trees.

Not many towns can boast more in the way of recreation, cultural activities and community services, yet remain so unspoiled by commercial tourism. There are no traffic lights and no fast food chains but amenities include sailing, kayaking, golf, tennis, rowing, the Maine Maritime Academy fitness facilities, churches, a library, restaurants, museums, two small grocery stores, and a doctors office--all just a short stroll from Moonrise Anchorage.

Top level has a queen sized bed, and 2 single beds. There is a second small bedroom with a pop-up trundle, that can be a configured as a single bed, or 2 singles, or put together as a king-sized bed. The living-dining area has large sliding doors facing the water, which lead out to a large deck that has a a panoramic view the harbor with a charcoal grill, plenty of outdoor seating and an umbrella to provide shade. There are steps in front to take you down to the beach.

Everything one could need for a spectacular vacation!

    This was our 2nd stay at this quaint cottage with an amazing view of the bay! Walking distance to everything, the harbor, restaurants, book store, small grocery and much more. Nearby hiking at Witherle Woods. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Pentagoet Inn. Thank you for sharing your well kept, pet friendly cottage, would definitely stay here again!

    We really loved our stay in Castine. The cottage was clean, comfortable and a great location. Our hostess, Janet, was super responsive. It was great for a dog, too, as the front porch/deck was fully enclosed and had full view onto the bay. I highly recommend this property!

    This was our third year returning to this cottage and loved every moment. The location and quality of the home cannot be beat, and the views are pinch worthy. We love it here and appreciate the owner’s warmth and communication throughout the booking process!

    Weve stayed here several times and find the location to be perfect with a serene view, comfortable furnishings and a very walkable town. The cottage is always clean and communication with thw owner very easy.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Gray Cottage. The cottage itself is well furnished, clean and comfortable. It has a wonderful view of Union River Bay. When we stayed in and took a day off from exploring the surrounding area, we simply relaxed and delighted in the view. Dee, the property manager, is easy to work with and made sure we were satisfied with the accommodations.

    Great location and top notch communication with the manager. The couch and dining table need to be replaced. Kitchen was not as well equipped as I would prefer. I would stay there again as the location and view out weigh these short comings.

    This is our 4th time staying at this cottage. I am a kayaker so I like the convenience of having a beach across the street to store my kayak and the location close to Castine harbor. The view from the cottage is amazing. Negatives would be access to the cottage is via steep stairs accessed from a damp basement.

    This was our second stay at Janet’s property as well as our second stay in Castine. The home is clean, welcoming, and the perfect location to soak in the beauty of the surrounding area. The views off the deck are stunning, it’s within walking distance to downtown Castine and other points of interest in the area, and is helpfully situated for a quick drive out of town to explore Downeast Maine. We hope to return again and again!

    We love to come back every year. Two times for us this year! I'll never get tired of the view from this cottage. Coffee and reading on the deck, windows open for the breeze and beautiful scenery whether is foggy, rainy or a perfectly beautiful sunshiny day. The cottage is always spotless and perfect for a couple or small family. The town of Castine is beautiful and serene. I took three walks a day and will never ever get tired of the views.Plenty of history in this town to keep you occupied. Janet is very responsive and a gracious host. You will not be disappointed!

    We stayed here for a second year attending the summer school of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans. We plan to make it our regular place to stay.
