Hope to return

We loved our stay in Stonington. The house was perfect for our family. Everything you wanted was walking distance. Great restaurant just 2 doors down. The town in quaint and a great place to go to relax. We did Eco tour which we really enjoyed. Stonington is not the place o go if you are looking for touristy type things to do. It is for those who want to relax, hike, kayak and just enjoy the views. We bought lobster from co op and steam at the house. Perfect

Great location, clean and convenient mfortable!

We selected this Cottage as our home away from home to explore Deer Isle, and Acadia. It was a wonderful residence, overlooking the harbor. Beautiful sunsets and at night you could hear the fog horn in the distance, from the point. It is within walking distance from at least three local restaurants and an ice cream store, small park and coastal discovery wharf for the kids. They also enjoyed the kayaks in a small inlet behind the house that was out of the way of harbor traffic. The kitchen had everything you could need and the bedrooms and baths were very comfortable. It was nice also to have a washer and dryer so we could keep up with laundry. It is a quaint, period home with all modern conveniences. We would certainly stay again!

Fabulous location

When I started looking for a rental property for extended family and friends I will admit I’d never heard of Stonington. We wanted a home large enough for my husband, myself, our two (big) kids, and two more adults. We wanted a place we would be comfortable spending lots of time at “home” due to the pandemic. I can’t say enough about how much we loved our stay. We made use of the many kayaks on property, ate dinner on the deck overlooking the harbor every night, and even saw a sailboat race come through the harbor one day. We enjoyed lobster, Maine blueberries, oysters, and steamers. When the oven didn’t work well I sent a message to the owner Barbara, who responded within minutes and had it repaired within a day. The location is walking distance to downtown Stonington, where you’ll find ample takeout options and a delicious ice cream stand. We ventured (90 minutes) to Acadia National Park on a couple of our days, and walked down the road to take a puffin tour boat on another. We will miss the sights and smells of this beautiful cove.

Great Maube experience

Loved watching the fishing boats and enjoyed the ever changing October weather. Stayed 5 nights and enjoyed windy days, rainy days, gale warnings and one crisp stunning sunshine and calm winds days. Took the kayaks out on the sunny, calm wind day in the harbor, carefully avoiding the working fishing boats. Excellent restaurant next to the house that does carry-out. It was shoulder/end of season, during COVID, so we found three restaurants and a sprinkling of stores open with more limited hours. The house had everything we needed plus extras. Host responded quickly and was very helpful and accommodating when we requested an extra night.

Wonderful location, walking distance to everything you need. Very nice house, comfortable furniture and beds. Nicely decorated. Big enough for a large group and also very cozy for a couple. Kitchen was fully equipped. They are building a beautiful new patio with great views that will be connected to the deck. Manager was very nice and helpful. We did not have any problems with the house. We hope to return someday.

family Main vacation

This house is the perfect location for relaxing and watching the boats come and go. The house is older, but that is what makes it perfect. We spent a lot of time out on the deck. The town is small, so not a destination for shoppers. It is for people who want a relaxing vacation. The biggest downfall is the location. It is a long drive to get back to the main road, but worth it if you want to experience the life of a lobster fisherman. The owner was easily available when we had a problem with the heating system.

Lovely seaside home with magnificent views-wonderful stay!!!

We enjoyed staying in this lovely home with its magnificent views and rustic charm. Each room in the house you can relax and enjoy the views of the beautiful harbor. We enjoyed sitting on the outside deck each morning watching and listening to the lobster boats head out to collect their traps. The location of the home is a real treat. You can walk to town or head to the harbor a hundred yards out the door. Fin and Fern restaurant is located a few doors down as well as the boat to the surrounding islands. The home was perfect with 2 bathrooms for the 4 of us. There was 5 bedrooms so plenty of room for larger groups. We ate out, kayaked from our door, dined in and visited barred island preserve, sanctuary preserve and settlement preserve as well as beautiful sand beach. A highlight of our trip was dinner at Aragosta on Goose Cove. It was wonderful!! Nervous Nellies Jams and jellies was quite an experience too!! Stonington shops, restaurants and friendly resident’s was fun too!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely seaside rental and Barbara, the owner, was very attentive to any questions we had before and during our stay. She is a very caring host. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us and all your hospitality. We will be back!! 🌻

Idyllic Maine Coastal Village

We loved our stay in Stonington! The views from the house were absolutely gorgeous, and the location is perfect. Stonington is a gem. Large enough to have what you want--coffee shop, grocery, several great restaurants, an opera house (!)--and small enough to be friendly and cozy. It's also a great base to explore. We went up to Acadia and Bar Harbor one day (the athletic in the group hiked and the rest of us explored Bar Harbor). The house is equipped with everything you can imagine--and some you might not: binoculars! We used the kayaks to explore the harbor and neighboring islands. We also took the ferry to Isle au Haut and hiked there. And Barbara is wonderful. She's readily available and gave us great tips on kayaking and what else to see. Also, don't miss the Fin and Fern restaurant, two doors down from the house. They have wonderful espresso and pastries for breakfast--and every other meal there is wonderful too. We'll be back!
