With a wonderfully scenic and central location on the shores of the Penobscot River, this light-filled home in Stockton Springs is surrounded by both summer splendor and incredible fall color. Enjoy a large deck (and a smaller sitting deck) with a view of the water and the tranquil forest, a backyard firepit where you can tell stories and roast marshmallows, and a lovely living space with high ceilings, immense windows, ample seating, and a wood-burning stove.

What’s nearby:
This waterfront home sits near the meeting point of the Penobscot River and Penobscot Bay, secluded yet surrounded by some of the most beloved areas of Maine. In this spot between Camden (33 miles southwest) and Bar Harbor (43 miles southeast), you can easily explore the beauties of the Midcoast, Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park (39 miles southeast). You'll be two miles south of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, less than three miles north of Sandy Point Beach, and four miles north of the town of Stockton Springs.

Loved this place
Cappy's retreat is a wonderful get-a-way. The home is very nice and comfortable with a beautiful setting away from the busy towns. It was well stocked for our needs. We were thankful for the generator as the power went out twice the week we were there but the generator kicked in right away. We enjoyed Stockton Springs and visited Fort Knox. Took a drive to Camden and enjoy many of the local spots in Belgin. Maine is a beautiful place and Cappy's retreat was a perfect house for us. A bigger coffee pot would have been nice and be aware of the steep driveway but it's very manageable. All in all it was a great vacation. I would stay here again.
