I was looking for privacy and quiet; did not realize the host lives right next door and the very busy road runs just behind cottage. Beautiful views in front, road noise from behind, which I’m sensitive to. Floors are chipping their paint and are uneven, hard to get clean. Everything else above floor was clean. As a yoga practitioner the floor is important. I know what questions to ask next time. Host is very sweet and caring.
Lovely property. House very clean and quaintly decorated. Did not realize the owners house was right next door. She was a lovely host and did not intrude on us. We wanted to be in a private spot. Overall I would recommend a stay. Lovely trail down to the water front. So relaxing.
Great spot, glad we came back, until next time!
The cottage is cozy and comfortable. The owner is close by and responsive to requests. The location is ideal--close to the charming coastal town of Stonington. Very enjoyable stay.
Very relaxing
Very simple little cottage with a meadow Fresh flowers and the water Never experienced high tide and low tide in such a fashion Quaint lost in time and perfect for a peaceful rest. Stonington and Dear Isle are sweet little villages Lindsay has done an amazing job saving this little piece of heaven
Exceeded our expectations. Magical views. Wonderful host.
We loved our week in this artfully decorated and very comfortable cottage overlooking tidal Crockett Cove. Hugely enjoyed the place, its immediate environs and also the broader area. Greatly enjoyed periodic interactions with owner Lindsay who provided great recommendations about local sights and activities.
My husband and I enjoyed our visit to Stonington Cottage. It's a gorgeous spot and comfortable cottage. The owner was so helpful in filling us in on area interests, restaurants and things not to be missed. The quiet and restfulness of the spot was so lovely.
Cove Meadow is a magical place. Visiting Deer Island and Stonington Harbor is like living in a postcard…fabulous food, friendly people…an unforgettable experience.
We really enjoyed our week at Cove Meadow. The cottage was cozy and clean and perfect for my daughter and I to retreat to after hiking and exploring. Lindsay was great at communicating and providing wonderful recommendations!
The place is magnificent. Lindsay is a very nice person and kind host. We loved our stay, Barred Island is magic. We enjoyed lobsters on property, clamming and using canoe on cove. Thank you!
Extremely beautiful location! Very cozy cottage with great views. Cottage has all the amenities you would need for staying put, but not far from hiking trails, shops, restaurants, and lobster boats! Owner was always available if needed and gives GREAT advice on where to go and what to do. Awesome getaway for a couple to decompress and breathe. We will be coming back for sure!
This is by far the best property I've ever vacationed at. It is cozy, private and has a beautiful view. The host is accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. She really goes above and beyond. This is a lovely island with alot of history and great seafood. You will not regret staying here!
My husband and I were looking for a peaceful relaxing ‘get away’ in a place of natural beauty. Cove Meadow couldn’t have been more perfect. This cottage is quaint and comfortable. The setting and surrounding area gorgeous. The cottage sits above the bay, surrounded by a lovely wildflower meadow . Lindsay, the owner, was the perfect hostess; Knowledgeable about the area and helpful in every way. We’d highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves nature, the sea, and who also enjoys the charm of a small seaside village. Stonington is delightful!
I have always dreamed of staying at a magical place such as this. It is an artist destination. Everywhere you look it is magnificent. This has been the most relaxation I have ever done on vacation. The cottage is well stocked. Vegetables and flowers, kayaks, canoe, books, firepit, grill scenery and chairs outside to take it all in. We saw the full moon rise with all the stars around it, The area is very laid back with great seafood and wonderful hiking. We will go back!!! Mo and Fran ,Chesterfield ,NJ
Kayaking, stars, close food store and little ocean beach, watching the rhythm of the tides in the cove and the wheeling, raucous birds.... what's not to love?
Sweet lovely cottage, perfect for a couple. Well equipped kitchen; fun to cook in as there is a vegetable garden alongside for the tenants use!! Fabulous lettuce, peas, herbs, celery, and more. Gorgeous view that changes throughout the day with magical paths to wander in among the wild meadow grasses, down to grassy areas overlooking the rocks and beach of the cove. Canoe and kayaks available. The whole area of Deer Isles is a feast for hikers, arts people, everyone!!
Beautifully decorated and located in a gorgeous and private area, this is my favorite cottage in Stonington. Lindsey is also the sweetest and most considerate hostess who goes out of her way to make you feel at home.
Cove Meadow Cottage was exactly as advertised and much more. Lindsay provided a beautiful cottage in an exquisite setting and then turned it over to us as our own private property. We felt pampered and immensely grateful. Nancy and Don
Best vacation ever with the most wonderful host, Lindsay! She made us feel right at home and we are so grateful to her for sharing her adorable cottage with its ringside seat to the glory of nature. The cove, the adjoining meadow, and Deer Isle itself are beautiful beyond what words can describe. We highly recommend this getaway spot and can't wait to return!!!
An absolutely magical little hideaway. Lindsay's meadow on the cove is just the most relaxing spot to unwind, disconnect and soak in the beauty around you. Lindsay was very helpful with suggestions for places to eat, shop and visit. We used her kayaks to explore the cove and the fire pit made for a great place to watch the sunset and have a glass of wine. I didn't make a dent in the book I brought to read because every time I sat outside to read it, I ended up staring at the trees and listening to the birds instead -- it was just too wonderful to ignore. The location on Deer Island was great being far enough away from the day-to-day tourists to feel peaceful, yet close enough to make day trips easy. The harbor area in Stonington was quite charming and the fresh seafood was amazing. We were sad to leave and will definitely visit again.
