CASTLEWOOD COTTAGE - Town of Owls Head

We've been vacationing here in the fall for a number of years. It is just perfect - the house, the view, the area!

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.

Beautiful location and the best bedroom I have ever stayed in on VRBO.

Waking up to sunrise over the water and nearby harbor is so nice. The house has everything possibly needed if you just want to chill out at home, which we did frequently, and we're not talking about garage-sale finds for pots, pans, dishware, cooking utensils, etc. It is all very nice stuff and the kitchen has good, quality appliances, too. The entire home is absolutely nice inside and out. Well cared for. The bed was quite comfy which is very important to a good trip. Although it seems remote, it is not more than 15 minutes' drive to a number of decent places to eat. If you want to explore, the sky is the limit in the area. We've been to Maine a number of times though and do tire quickly of the salty prices for very average food. Nonetheless, we had plenty of it though. We found many restaurants do not keep advertised hours meaning they were closed when we got there. This led to at least one amazing discovery for food and another on the exact opposite end of the desirable spectrum! It was the end of the season when we arrived, so some places mostly just shutdown.The owner, Gordon, was thoughtfully communicative about travel, check-in and was hands-off after we arrived (thanks). This is great place to stay and is every bit as beautiful as any of the photos. We highly recommend this property. You'll be far happier here than being stuck in any of the nearby tourist trap communities. Thank you again for this beautiful property.

Beautiful property, beautiful location. It doesn’t get much better than this.

This cottage over exceeded my expectations! Beautiful cottage and perfect location. I highly recommend this place!

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.

We love this cottage on the water, an idyllic retreat!

Check-in was effortless. The location is pristine, and the house is very comfortable.

We absolutely love staying at this property! It’s a great location if you want privacy but close to town. Absolutely beautiful views!

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.

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.

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.

Thank you to Gordon and Jim for sharing this place. It truly is a gem.

An amazing place to relax and just be. Communication with owners excellent! A true gem of the midcoast!

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 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.

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!!!

We had a lovely time at your stunning cottage, we will definitely be back. Thank you for all the special touches and hospitality.

Our third season in Owl’s Head. Our alternative to anti-depressants. Recharges us for the next 12 months!
