We always love being in this charming home. It is well laid out for our family to both spread out and come together as needed. The view of the river is spectacular and always a treat to watch the ice beginning its spring melt. We especially love how easy it is to walk to Maine Street for coffee, groceries, bagels, donuts, gifts, etc.

About the host

Hosted by Jessie

Host profile image
Hi! I’m new to HomeAway, but have been renting Castle Rock out on other vacation rental platforms. I am a Brunswick native, a hair stylist, wife to a full-time fire fighter, and mother to a little one. I love Maine, the outdoors, food, and crafting. I’m excited to share this amazing property with you!

Why they chose this property

My father built Castle Rock with his bare hands for a family member. The cabinets were custom built with wood harvested from the prior building on the lot. Pictures do not this property justice, but we hope you make as many memories here as my family has!

What makes this property unique

I especially love how quiet and serene the back deck and yard are, while having great proximity to Downtown Brunswick and towns beyond.
