The "Stone Cottage" was originally built before 1796. It has served as the town jail, poor house, and a cherished summer cottage since the 1890's. The view looks at the mouth of Castine Harbor, where sailboats return to port each night from sailing on Penobscot Bay. There is a 12' cannon from the War of 1812 on the front lawn, and historic elements throughout. There are 7 bedroom and 3 baths, and in a pinch the house could sleep up to 12 people. It's rusticator living at it's best. 2 min walk to lighthouse.
