Castine Cottage | Secluded Sunset Retreat on Penobscot Bay

3 Bedroom Cottage in Castine

Built in 1967, our authentic Maine “camp” sits right on Penobscot Bay at the end of a 1/2 mile-long private wooded lane, just 3.5 miles north of the historic village of Castine.
Situated on the southern fringe of Turners Point (directly across from Belfast), it has stunning sunsets and views of the Camden Hills.
A 75 ft. path through the bunchberries takes you down to our private beach. We own over 300 ft of a sandy/cobblestone mix, where you can swim at high tide, or lounge with a book, or take long walks on an almost uninhabited beach. Or, just soak in the long view south down Penobscot Bay.
With very few neighbors (who also have large wooded tracts and long stretches of beach) we offer you seclusion - and nature in all its glory. (Our nearest northern neighbor is 300 feet away, and southern, more than 500, all through thick woods.)
With many of the amenities of home, our cabin is a perfect retreat for the bird watcher, the writer, or someone simply wanting to get away from it all. Yet there are restaurants and markets, movies, concerts, and museums, as well as a quaint New England village steeped in Maine's seafaring history, just minutes away.
Listen to the ravens and the loons. See seals basking on rocks and eagles cruising right over head, all summer long. Catch the deer foraging for apples in what used to be an old orchard, or forage for your own raspberries along the lane. And at extremely low tide, look for mussels, sea urchins, starfish, and more. If you especially love nature accompanied by most of modern day conveniences, our place could be just right for you.
PLEASE NOTE: Our maximum capacity is 6 people total, and is not available for large gatherings such as events, weddings, reunions, graduation parties, etc.
One other note is that the two ell bedrooms are accessible only from the porch (and not from the main cabin).
If you are a new guest to our cottage, please contact us with your inquiry BEFORE requesting a booking! That way we can better help you decide if our property and the area are a good fit for you and your group. Inquiries can be made through this listing.

Summary: Our ideal rental in the Penobscot Bay Area is a secluded, family/privately owned single dwelling, waterfront/beach access, large stone fireplace, and pet friendly. We found that and much much more in Camp Boneau. We immediately sent in our desired week to rent, and luckily it was ours. The owners tirelessly answered questions and sent a packet of information. We replied ‘Everything you have sent: lists, rules, amenities, locations of light switches, instructions for usages, directions to your Camp, etc. etc. simplifies prior planning, and usage of time upon arrival can be spent as much on exploring the property as unpacking and putting away - tasks usually ending after dark. How cool is that!’ The Boneaus replied: ‘From the start…, we have been acutely aware that people’s time on vacation is extremely precious (being off the beaten track plays into it, too). We try to provide a good enough household organization to make things easy to “plug and play.” We want our guests to have the best possible time and the best memories of their visit!’ This was all before we even got to Camp Boneau! Without a doubt, the Boneaus have totally surpassed their intention. The Camp is incredible - squeaky clean, it has more than everything - we boggled at all the neatly arranged and plentiful supplies, amenities, a binder of maps and guides to the numerous preserves, hiking areas, galleries, stores, etc. The views of the Bay were beautiful, aided by binoculars thoughtfully provided. The long sandy/pebbly beach, 40 steps from the deck, extended seemingly forever. Secluded? We saw one person down on the beach. Big stone fireplace? We had fires nearly every night using an ample supply of neatly stacked wood. Sunsets: treated every night, with three nights of the most spectacular we have ever seen. The furnishings were super comfortable, and lights were plentiful. An enormous selection of games and books for rainy days, which we didn’t need. The Guest Book was fun to read - everyone equally enthusiastic about the Camp. Hopefully I’m not forgetting anything. Thank you Boneaus - for the best vacation. We want to come next year.
