Secluded Cottage is perfectly named!The cottage was absolutely beautiful and a perfect start to our New England tour. Stonington had everything we needed and has excellent dining options.A perfect base to go to Acadia National Park, search out multiple seafood options. Or just enjoy the property. The water is just outside the floor to ceiling windows. If you’re up early, you can listen to the boats heading out for the day.The wood burning stove kept us warm and cozy. Our host was quick to answer any of our questions and in no way imposed on our time.The cabin was clean and inviting.Looking forward to returning here in the future!

Anniversary in Maine

We have stayed in many different rental properties over the years. This was by far one of the coolest places we have ever stayed. This could be one of our favorite trip's and the cottage did not disappoint.

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!

Rustic Stonington Cottage

Cottage was rustic, clean and well equipped. Host was wonderful with responses. Waterfront was amazing, despite the rain. Know that the ladder to bedroom may not be the best setup for older (me) folks, but the view was well worth the effort.

Could not be more perfect

Beautiful cottage, great location, spectacular sunsets and so much more. We totally enjoyed our week at The Cottage. Lot of great hikes around (Barred Island, Isle au Haut, the Quarry and other Preserves). Visits to Stonington, Castine. Thank you Jessica. I already miss having my morning coffee on the deck facing the sea…

Perfect Maine!

It was a privilege to stay in this well-loved, beautifully appointed, family cabin. The host is incredibly responsive, the property is well kept and thoughtfully furnished. It is the nicest cabin I’ve rented anywhere. The location is perfect. Access to the loft sleeping area is by a sturdy ladder - so not for everyone.. You know, there are many nice cabins on Deer Isle and I secretly hope you’ll look at them so I can continue to return to this one! 😉

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.

We had a wonderful time at this charming and rustic cottage located right on the Maine coastline. Very clean and well-appointed cottage. Everything is as advertised and in photos. Excellent communications with the hosts. Beautiful views and a short stroll to the water for coastal exploring. We stayed in early October with cold nighttime temps, and the wood stove kept the cottage comfortably warm. The artwork and assorted knick-knacks make for a fun space and the record player and vinyl collection made for some fun evenings. We will be coming back here again one day.

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!

Seclusion and Magic by the Sea

You drive down the dirt lane for a while, then over the massive glacial rock, seemingly going on forever and then you see the cottage waiting for you, greeting you in the quiet woods. The anticipation is worth it! What a wonderful and magical piece of the planet this cottage sits upon! Plenty of privacy and the views are magnificent. Relaxing on the deck, relaxing on the rocks below and napping on the couch to wake up to the view is so peaceful. Down by the dock you might see a seal chasing the fish as well as the eagles and osprey doing the same. Or perhaps the deer will stop by for a nibble of grass. This is a nature lovers paradise as is the whole island. Thank you to the owners for being willing to share their piece of heaven with the world:)

Absolutely Idyllic!

My husband and I absolutely loved our time at the cottage. The location was amazing! It was everything we could have hoped for and more. While rustic, it is exactly what a Maine coastal cottage should be. The cottage is outfitted with everything you could want and/or need. Sitting on the deck at sunset was pure bliss. My communication with Jessica was perfect. She was fast to respond and clear on all the things we needed to know about the cottage and check-in. We've rented many properties through VRBO and Jessica was by far the best communicator. We're already planning our trip for next year! Thank you Jessica for sharing the cottage!

Nice stay in a pretty setting

Why this property may be for you: Charming, very clean, quiet, beautiful peaceful setting, nice deck, nice kayaking if you have a kayak, Jessica is very friendly and responsive.; she answered all my questions regarding COVID protocol. Why this property may not be for you: rustic digs, drive down a long dirt road may not be for all cars, ladder to loft may not be for every body. Internet/ phone reception is spotty to nonexistent... which could be a pro or a con depending on what you are looking for!

Hi Kathryn, thank you for visiting the Cottage and for the review! We determined that the WiFi outage during your stay was caused by a lightning strike on the power line and were able to resolve it with the service provider. We do apologize for the inconvenience this caused, but glad you saw the silver lining in being able to disconnect on your vacation. You're right that the ladder is rather steep and may not be for everyone, we encourage everyone to review the photos to make sure it wouldn't be an issue prior to booking. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future!

It's a 10

Probably the nicest place to paddle home to on the whole island. The Cottage is perfect in size feel and location. If what you see it in the photos captures your imagination it's actually 100x better when you are there. This little house is magic, and the setting is unbelievably beautiful. I can't think of a nicer place to escape to and feel lucky to have been there.

Like finding the magic of Brigadoon

The property was listed very honestly. All the info provided was accurate. It did not convey the excellent care provided by Jessica all through out our visit. She was only a text away and responded immediately to all our texts. She followed through when the area lost power from a car accident, she had more information than we found out locally. She gave us so many ideas of things to do in the area. The private setting and ocean views were so inspiring, we made sure we were home for lunch every day to take advantage The family has multi generational ties to the area and their love is evident in the upkeep of their retreat. We were so honored to be a part of the area for a short time.

Charming cottage with lovely view

The Cottage is an attractive cozy place with a comfortable living room and a lovely view. The kitchen is small but adequate and the deck gets the water breeze. It’s fine for a couple. The queen bed is in a loft well cooled by large windows and ceiling fan, accessible by a securely wide ladder. The only problem is a lack of cellular signal and WiFi most of the time, which seems like an island wide problem. However, the dish TV works well!

Perfect spot for kayaking the Stonington archipelago

Rustic yet artsy cabin in the woods with cozy sleeping loft for 4 (one queen, two twins). Basic kitchen gets the job done. Smallish bathroom, but with full tub/shower. Great view of the ocean from both the cottage and its attached deck. Perfect spot for launching kayaks, just have to carry kayaks about 50 yards down to the water's edge. Great dock and Maine coast granite ledges for both swimming, watching the sunset, reading, or whatever. Lots of trees perfect for hanging a small napping hammock by the sea breezes. Very private -- feels like your own little piece of the Maine Coast. Pristine surrounding spruce woods with lots of trails for exploring.
