About this property

Secluded Cottage with Stunning Ocean Views

Privately situated at the end of a winding wooded lane, The Cottage is nestled at the edge of a 115 acre wooded setting, along the granite ledges of Spruce Harbor. Floor to ceiling multi-paned windows adorn the south side of the home, opening to expansive ocean views. Skylights shimmer light throughout this open and airy post and beam cottage. The rustic decor and simplicity of design provide a soothing and relaxing ambiance. A corner wood stove warms the surrounding living room and kitchen, and flows to the upstairs loft, housing two sleeping areas (a queen size bed to one side, two twins to the other) separated by pull-across divider. A wrap around deck opens off the kitchen. Sit by the shade of the over-hanging branches of spruce trees, or bask in the warm sun and soft ocean breezes. Enjoy the array of sea vessels that pass through Merchants Row, once a busy seafaring lane, now quieter with passing sail boats and lobster fishermen bringing in their days' catch. Private and secluded, enjoy nature at its best. Conveniently located to Stonington Village and picturesque Stonington Harbor. Just a short drive to shops, restaurants, galleries, theater, and more!

We also have another property available for rentals located just down the trail (3 minute walk!), sleeps 8 and also has gorgeous ocean views. The listing # is 1135945. Great to rent both properties together if you have a large group of friends or family!

Peaceful, charming cottage for a relaxing getaway
We had a lovely time at this cottage. It provided exactly what we were looking for - a relaxing, peaceful getaway from everything. Even though the weather was overcast, we enjoyed the warmth of the fire in the woodstove (it’s more like a fireplace than I had originally thought) and the amazing views of the forest and harbor. We enjoyed our daily walks along the bath along the coast - and even saw a group of harbor seals (I counted 15 using the binoculars from the cottage) on a rock visible from the dock. The cottage and views are even better in person.

Amazing spot
We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! The location and views are incredible. The place is so well designed, great for a couple or overflow guest while staying at the main house. Just step outside and you could spend hours exploring the terrain. The deck is a great location to have pre-dinner cocktails or watch nature. We heard loons and cormorants and saw deer walking by. I had some work to do and the WiFi connection was great and I played records while I worked. Jessica was incredibly responsive and had some great suggestions for things to do. We will be back!

Perfect setting; wonderful experience
What a perfect cottage! We absolutely loved our stay and hope to be back again. We enjoyed every aspect of the stay from the initial communication and response time to the end of our vacation. The only downside was having to leave. :)

What a gorgeous property
Had a great stay at this cottage near Stonington. Just a beautiful piece of property with the most amazing views of the merchant islands. The cabin itself was super cozy and had everything we needed for a wonderful week in Maine. Cabin owner was easy to communicate with and work with. Great place and will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Shanklin

Host profile image
Our family has been coming to Spruce Harbor on Deer Isle, Maine since the early 1900s but we didn't build our own houses until the 1960s which is when the Main House was completed. The Cottage was built up the road in the 1990s. Both were built by our family, with the help from dear friends. We have spent many summers boating, exploring, swimming, cooking, kayaking, and just sitting in awe wondering how a place so magnificent has been a huge part of our lives and who we are. The exquisite beauty and fresh air have been enjoyed by many generations, and we don't plan to stop any time soon! We hope you enjoy our piece of heaven on earth.

What makes this property unique

The views never get old! Extremely remote and private, yet a short drive into Stonington. The perfect place to recharge your batteries and experience the best of what Mother Nature has to offer.
