Charming Castle Cottage

Welcome to the Castle Cottage, a charming 3-bedroom retreat that sleeps 8, nestled along the scenic Connecticut River in Portland, CT. Aptly named for its proximity to Saint Clement's Castle, a renowned wedding reception venue, our home carries a rich history as the former residence of Father Edward C. Doherty, the founder of Saint Clement's Castle.

Step inside and experience a harmonious blend of European charm and modern elegance. You'll find the founder's cherished antiques tastefully integrated throughout the home, adding a touch of nostalgia to your stay.

Outside, a beautifully landscaped yard and gardens offer a serene backdrop overlooking the surroundings, providing direct access for water enthusiasts to enjoy various activities. Relax and savor the river view from the spacious deck, perfect for al fresco dining, and fire up the grill for a memorable barbecue.

Indoors, the Castle Cottage welcomes you with a spacious living room and a dining room adorned with a sparkling Waterford crystal chandelier, setting the scene for elegant gatherings. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring imported granite countertops and all the amenities needed to create culinary delights.

For those seeking entertainment, the Riverwalk Cafe awaits, with a fully stocked bar and a competition dartboard, making it an ideal spot for socializing and unwinding. Additionally, the garage houses a pool room complete with a competition-sized Fats Domino pool table for hours of friendly competition.

With two full baths and convenient laundry facilities, your comfort is assured. The pièce de résistance is the master bedroom, a sprawling 1,000-square-foot space thoughtfully designed to double as a bridal suite, accommodating the entire bridal party in style.

Discover the magic of Castle Cottage, where history meets modern luxury, and where the picturesque Connecticut River serves as your serene backdrop. Your unforgettable escape awaits. Book your stay today!

Holidays together
We rented this property for an alternative with more room than my retired parents’ house. The layout was fantastic and the place is as charming and spacious as it looks. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, etc for our meal preparations. The less-than-perfect scores on this property are because of electrical and plumbing issues which I hope are all fixed, but I wanted to warn people. The master shower was clogged by previous guests, requiring hours to repair and there were numerous light bulbs and switches that need replaced or repaired. The garbage disposal was not working. The furnace makes lots of noise when it runs, perhaps it needs maintenance too.

St. Clement's Castle ideal event home
This VRBO home was more beautiful and spacious than the listing implied. Our daughter's reception was at the Castle, and this home provided the ideal "get ready" spot for the bridal party and family. The distance could not be better, the grounds just stunning, the layout spacious, the upkeep stellar. Our family (and pups) felt so satisfied and comfortable here. Highly recommend without hesitation. Thanks so much!

Bridal suite
Used the location to stay at and get prepared for a wedding at St Clements Castle. Bridal party came the day of the wedding and we had 9 ladies getting hair and makeup completed for the wedding. The home had ample space for everyone and plenty of counter space and tables for food.

Castle Cottage Exceeds Expectations!
The castle cottage was even more beautiful than the pictures. Everything was in perfect shape, and the property was completely stocked with amenities, including silverware, dishwashing soap, irons and hair dryers and glasses and coffee cups. There are many places to gather and talk and the pool table and dartboard were a lot of fun. The bridal suite is an amazing space and the landscaping is immaculate. We loved staying there and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks for providing this amazing property. We stayed at many VRBO’s and this will be one of our favorites forever.
