Maine Never Disappoints

The house was everything we needed. A great place for friends to gather and play cards; cook and drink wine. It had enough hot water, towels, room, and a picturesque balcony view. We would come back again.

Great stay in Brunswick

My family of four loved our stay on Water Street in August. The house is lovely and the view of the river and the mill from the generous back deck and the upstairs windows is amazing. Comfortable bedrooms, very nice linens, spacious kitchen. The location is great as well. It's a 3 minute walk into town (note thatgoogle streetview makes it look like you have to walk next to Rt 1, but really you will just use the short overpass). Also - we belatedly realized tha tthere is access to the river down the street at the boat launch! We were all sad to leave. Lovely stay!

Perfect Summer Stay

We had a spectacular week in July at this property. Its location is superb. It's only a few minutes walk to downtown Brunswick's shops and restaurants. The view from the back deck is stunning and filled with wildlife. We saw bald eagles, ospreys, and, believe it or not, a seal in the Androscoggin. The interior is equally amazing with a fully equipped kitchen, high-end appliances, stunning views from every window, and comfortable beds. We can't wait to come back.

Perfect for a wedding weekend

This was a lovely property with amazing views and great kitchen. We spent a lot of time on the lovely deck looking at the river. We loved that we could walk into town. Jessie was very responsive great host. It was unusually hot when we were there and the ac didn’t reach the 2 smaller bedrooms well. One of the smaller rooms didn’t have a closet. Overall an amazing stay.

Beautiful home on Androscoggin

This is a beautiful home with a delightful backyard and deck overlooking the Androscoggin river. This home has served as the perfect location for our family visiting Bowdoin College. It is a little down and across the street from the Federal hotel. The picture shows view from back deck. Jessie is quick to respond and very helpful. Kitchen is fully stocked. Bedrooms with thoughtful comforts. Home has everything you would need on a visit. I give my highest recommendation

"Home" Away from Home

This is our second time staying with Jessie. We love this house, its location, its amenities, and, most importantly, our host. Jessie is very attentive and flexible. The house is immaculate, and the views and sounds of the birds and the river are breathtaking. We plan to come back as many times as she will have us.

Cozy and Convenient

We had a lovely stay at this charming house. It has lots of spaces to hang out. We loved being able to walk to Maine Street. Also, our host made sure that we had everything we needed during a major April snow storm. We will definitely rent again.

Castle Rocks!

Jessie is an impeccable host of an impeccable property. The house is beautifully constructed and maintained. It is a very welcoming space for families to stay and is very conveniently located to Maine St Brunswick and the surrounding area. The views of the river are breathtaking and the neighborhood is quiet. You feel surprisingly tucked away in nature for being so close to town. We hope to return again in the future. Thank you Jessie 🙏🔥

From the street the house looks compact and busy. Walk through the front door into a spacious fully-appointed well-organized interior. Very quiet and private. Large deck overlooking the river. Short walk into town. Would easily handle a large group. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Brunswick beauty

This was a wonderful home for 6 women friends…plenty of room for everyone and so confide!! It was fun to all be in the kitchen together while cooking and then to sit on the deck or in the comfy living room in the evening to play games. So close to town and great walking in the area!

Beautiful home on the river

The property was ready early which was nice. Very comfortable and plenty of room to spread out. Beautiful views of the river and a nice deck to enjoy it on. The home was in a very central location and grocery store was close by. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well appointed. Our family enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in this area.

About the host

Hosted by Jessie

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.
