Stonington, Maine
Does the vacation you are envisioning include waking up to breathtaking views of schooners passing by as you sip your hot morning coffee Or perhaps enjoying a glass of wine after a long day of exploring everything the coast of Maine has to offer Or maybe you are just looking to escape the busy, fast paced reality of your life so you can experience "The Way Life Should Be " If you answered yes to any of these questions, then we would love to welcome you to enjoy our beautiful home overlooking the Penobscot Bay Thoroughfare. Our wonderful family home boasts a PRIME oceanfront setting. overlooking the Deer Isle Thoroughfare, multiple islands, including Sheep and Saddleback Island, as well as many other nearby islands. It has a diverse shoreline with both rocky frontage and beach area, as well as trails through the 100 acres of woods the property sits on. The interior of the house has an open floor plan with lots of sun spilling in through the panoramic shore facing windows. Enjoy sweeping ocean views from the open living room, dining area, and kitchen, along with master bedroom. There are four total bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, 2 with built in twin bunks (each sleep 2) - lower bed suitable for children, top bunk has no railing). There are 3 baths and washer and dryer. Step back outside to the wrap around deck, with its gorgeous views over the water and out to the surrounding islands. The Main House is but a stones throw from hundreds of feet of gorgeous shore front comprised of large granite boulders, tidal pools, pebbled beach, sandy beaches, and dock.
We also have another property available for rentals located just up the trail (3 minute walk!), sleeps 4 and also has gorgeous ocean views. The listing # is 1434578. Great to rent both properties together if you have a large group of friends or family!
It was perfect. Exactly what we needed. Anything you could possibly need while on vacation was provided... barring food and drink, of course. The beach, the views, the seals, the eagles, the firewood, the maps of all the local walks/hikes, everything was perfect. I spent a whole afternoon on the deck, watching the Bald Eagles and seals, and listening to the Loons calling. It was blissful. Extremely relaxing
We had an incredible stay here at Stonington. The views are spectacular! It's not too often that you get to watch a sunrise and sunset in the same spot on the same day. The house itself is amazing - family history is all around. The pictures windows (yes, there are 4 in a row!) let you see everything effortlessly. We had breakfast on the porch every day - even in the drizzle. The property goes on and on and there are multiple opportunities for hikes everywhere. Orange Squeez (sic) Overlook is not to be missed! Down the road a bit is Settlement Quarry - also very cool. Lastly, Jessica is so very responsive and just plain nice. She had some great suggestions and advice. Clearly a great family who own and manage this property. We were sad to leave and can't wait to go back!
This was an amazing place to celebrate the end of summer and enjoy a little together time as a family before the beginning of the school year - truly so beautiful and lots to explore if you like to get out on the water. We rented kayaks and poked around the immediate coastline and several islands open to public access. The house itself was so comfortable - very clean and had everything we needed to feel at home! We hope to return again soon.
Staying here was like being a part of the of the area. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the wonderful vistas. Cooking in the kitchen was a pleasure thanks to its design. Although it didn't have the latest in granite countertops, etc., it had features you can't buy and I was twice as efficient as usual! We appreciated the solitude and natural setting. Communication with the owners was special as we learned about the family and the area. It was obvious that the place is much loved.
Beautiful, remote-feeling retreat, with gorgeous sunrises, morning runs through woods, waking to soft sounds of lobster boats and seabirds.
The property was lovely and very well equipped. We were able to relax from the first minute and just enjoy each other's company with some walks in the area. The views were breathtaking and we had a great time. We also were able to do some exploring around the area on our motorcycles, but honestly, it was so relaxing there we really didn't need to do anything but sit and look out the panoramic windows at the views that changed with the tides!!!!! We alll needed a bit of a rest and this was absolutely perfect!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us!
Such a beautiful and peaceful place! We just love it and are always sad to say goodbye!
Girls weekend in Maine off the beaten path was a success at this location. The home was lovely, the location was awesome and perfectly situated for a relaxing, quiet location. The views from the picture windows were breathtaking and Jessica was a very helpful and responsive host to ensure our stay was excellent.
This place is an unbelievable combination of charming, vintage but extremely well equipped interiors and what must be some the most amazing views to be had in all of Deer Isle. Great location, too: rent your kayaks just down the road, visit picture-pretty Stonington, markets, artists.... Thank you, Jessica, for making this wonderful week possible!
The Main House is a cozy cottage retreat in a very private setting with beautiful views of the ocean and islands. The house is well stocked and comfortable for a small or large group. The owner was lovely to work with and responded promptly to any questions. We can’t wait to return next year to this special place!
