Our Story

French’s Point is situated near Stockton Springs in the mid-coast region, with excellent local options for dining, shopping, galleries, and recreational activities. Picturesque nearby coastal villages include Castine, Camden, Rockport, Belfast, Bucksport, Blue Hill, and Ellsworth. Fly into Bangor International Airport, ME (BGR, our recommendation), a 40-minute drive from French’s Point. You can also fly into Portland, ME; Boston, MA; or Portsmouth, NH. Because the area is relatively rural, a rental car could be useful. Bus and taxi are also available in the region, but very limited. There is no uber/lyft in this area.
