"Come quick! There's a deer eating fruit from the Orchard!"
Open, airy and light filled cottage at the head of Crockett Cove’s tidal estuary. Watch deer eating from the apple trees, heron by the water, cormorants diving, hear coyotes howling at night and maybe even spot a fox. Tidal water views looking down towards the swimming hole and distant water views across the neighboring meadow. Cozy propane fireplace to sit by while taking in all the cove has to offer.
Everything was correct
The Serene Cottage on Crockett Cove was so lovely that we extended our stay. The cottage is charming and bright, and cozy even on cold nights. It's full of interesting artworks and great reading material. The kitchen was perfect for the times when we wanted to eat in. There are nice restaurants and gift stores and a wonderful used bookstore in the picturesque village of Stonington, just a few miles from the cottage. Our favorite hike was the Barred Island Preserve, just a short drive away.
My wife and I only stayed one night since we had lots of stops on our journey up the coast of Maine. We both loved the property and views. It was clean and comfortable and we had a great time! It is marked on our list of places that we will stay longer on our next visit!
The cottage was bright and sunny—great location. Easy access to ocean kayaking and beautiful hikes.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heron Cottage. The house is clean, cozy, and well-apportioned, with a gracious host. Barbara offered many tips of things to do in the area, and the bottle of wine and fresh flowers for us in the cottage were special touches.
We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage is an artfully light, relaxing, well thought out space. It overlooks a salt marsh and meadow. The birds and fireflies were amazing. Also loved Deer Isle. Great hikes, fresh lobster. Low key and allows you to really relax. Barbara and Wylie were the perfect hosts. Highly recommend.
We had a lovely mini-vacation visiting Deer Isle. The cozy cottage is perfect for a couple. The kitchen is well stocked, the bed comfortable, linens and bathroom very clean. There is a nice sized porch/deck for enjoying the view of the cove. Although it was rainy we enjoyed some hiking, and the location is good for accessing all Deer Isle has to offer. Barbara is an excellent host, easily reached and very helpful.Highly recommended!
Sweet cottage in a beautiful, serene location. Barbara, our host, left no detail undone. We were greeted by a personal note and special touches, beautiful vases of fresh wildflowers, a fun selection of reading materials and lots of great local suggestions. We hope to return to the area again and would not hesitate to rent Barbara’s beautiful cottage.
Had an excellent stay on the cove at Barbara’s place. Check in was easy breezy, Barbara was easy to communicate with and extremely welcoming. It was evident right away how much love has gone into the cottage and how much effort she puts in to make for an excellent stay. We were greeted with a nice welcome note and fresh flowers on the table. It’s bright, beautifully decorated and warm. Kitchen is well stocked, lots of towels and blankets and a great little set of games. All in all, can’t imagine staying anywhere else. It’s a very special place.
This home is the perfect private resting place for a vacation - one could easily never leave the property enjoying the collection of books, games, well equipped kitchen and view of the lupins and water. It is only minutes away from Aragosta’s fine dining, magical hikes including the Barred Island Preserve sandbar and Stonington’s mail boat to Isla Haut. We would love to return!
The cottage and the landscape around the cottage are stunning! Barbara was a great host and very helpful with are awesome few days in Maine.
Heron Cottage was the perfect place to both rest and tour while in Maine. Our visit in mid-October timed the Fall leaves perfectly - all visible from the cottage! Barbara's excellent recommendations pointed us toward Barred Island Preserve and Isle au Haute via the Mail Boat. So cool! Additionally, we were able to make day trips to Acadia (90min), Belfast (~75min), Ellsworth (MoMos cheesecake) and more importantly around Deer Isle. On Deer Isle, we were lucky to find 44 North for our daily coffee and The Periwinkle for gifts and toys for our family back home - a true genuine Maine experience!! Barbara, we want to sincerely thank you for bringing your cottage to VRBO as everything exceeded our expectations. We look forward to visiting again soon! John & Candi
We had a lovely time- the cabin was bright and airy and had lovely views onto the estuary. Stocked with everything you may need, it was a wonderful place to unwind and relax, definitely coming back!
Barbara was a wonderful host. The description of the property was accurate. Words can not capture the tranquility and comfort of Heron Cottage. A great location to explore the Isle au Haute and Stonington. The cottage was clean, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend Heron Cottage. We hope to return.
Absolutely loved my stay in this beautiful cottage. Barbara is the Best Host that I have had the pleasure to deal with. This cottage has everything I needed or wanted. Location was great and I loved watching the tide coming in and out. This place is the BEST!!!
We had an incredible time at Heron cottage. It’s on a lovely inlet that’s perfect for kayaking. Access is about 3 hours on either side of high tide. The islands just off the coast of deer isle are beautiful to paddle to. One word: Magical Lots of hiking through forests and at the waters edge. A trip to Isle au Haut is a must. Arrive at the dock in Stonington at least an hour before departure to get a ticket. They operate on a first come first serve basis. Barbara was a great host and the next door neighbor was really welcoming and full of info about the area. We will definitely go again.
