Stayed Jun 14, 2025Exposed beams in the kitchen and casual dining area give a rustic look, and there's real history behind it. Read a book or two while you're there. The house has plenty of post-war non-fiction, some naval adventure books, and big picture books for kids and art lovers. There's also a bookstore and cafe just down the street, with an unassuming but delicious restaurant next to it.Perfect location - the town is very walkable, and the house is just up Main Street from the docks. Check out the Castine elms while you're walking.

Stayed Jul 14, 2024Extremely please I booked this property early so friends and I could enjoy a place to relax on our 40th reunion at MMA. Great location as it is a couple of blocks from the waterfront and a short trip up the hill to the MMA campus. Loved our stay!

Stayed Jul 1, 2023Our first trip to Maine was wonderful. The house is historic and beautiful. Castine is beautiful. The location is within 1.5 hours of Bar Harbor Acadia and Bangor. We had fun seeing Maine. This house was a great home base location for what we wanted to do. The weather did not cooperate and it was rainy and foggy but we enjoyed ourselves despite the weather. 4th of July fireworks were the best I have ever seen!

Stayed Jun 24, 2023We look forward to returning to Castine and to staying at the Jonathan Lowder House every summer. Daniel and Mary make it a breeze to check in, and after three years, this has become a special tradition for my family. A real treat in one of the most unique towns in the U.S.

Stayed Sep 26, 2022Had a great stay in Castine for 4 nights. The town is charming and quiet, although we were there late season so several of the shops and restaurants had already closed. The house is comfortable and well outfitted, with a few of the quirks one would expect for a structure that has been standing for over 200 years. Great kitchen, good shower, and comfortable beds There is a huge lobster pot that we enjoyed using after driving to Stonington for a visit to the Lobster Co-op. We also discovered the Windmill Hill Market which was a game changer! Mary was kind and easy to communicate with.

Stayed Jul 23, 2022Once again, a super experience. We wait all year to return to Castine and this incredible house. Love the books, doing puzzles, biking, hiking, playing golf up the street, and being able to walk out the door and down into the village. Castine and this listing are singular!
