About this property

Secluded house just minutes away from Deer Isle/Stonington villages and beaches!

A Stone's Throw house is situated 3/4 mile from the main road on a small peninsula. Enjoy the peacefulness, the sunny yard, shooting hoops or lounging on the sun shade covered deck. BBQ outside or cook in the fully equipped kitchen. There is plenty of internet (2gigs) to make work or entertainment not a problem at all.

Located just minutes from Deer Isle village and the working water front of Stonington. Start your day at 44 North coffee shop in either Deer Isle or Stonington, then check out the fabulous shops! Watch the working water fronts activity, lobster boats leaving to go haul and returning to unload the days catch. Also, stop by Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries. They have a touch tank and virtual reality learning tools to teach you about the lobster industry. They are also the home of Ask Leroy! If you haven't seen him check him out on YouTube, he is a gem!
There are several great restaurants to choose from in Stonington, Fin and Fern, Stonecutters, 27 fathoms, the cockatoo and Burnt Cove Boil. Deer Isle has Aragosta at Goose Cove, the whales rib, LDI lobster and a take out There's a treat. Reservations are recommended during the summer season.
Around the peninsula are several fabulous restaurants as well, including Brooklin, Brooksville and Blue Hill.

Close proximity to several beaches and the lily pond where you can swim, paddle board or kayak. Bring a picnic lunch and make an afternoon of sunshine and salt air.
Island heritage trust has many hiking trails all around Deer Isle. Explore the many trails and also learn some local history while taking in some spectacular water views. The Settlement quarry and the Edgar M tennis preserve are two of my favorites!
Up the road from the Edgar M tennis preserve is Nervous Nellie's jam and jellies. A must see for everyone young and old! Stroll through the grounds and look at all the metal works. It is sure to please everyone, and will leave you wanting to come back again and again. The gift shop is packed with yummy jams and jellies. Definitely worth the trip!
If your destination is Bar Harbor and Acadia National park, it is about an hour and a half away. A great day trip! After a busy day you can return to A stone's throw house and relax, perhaps with a glass of wine, while waiting for your lobster to cook and enjoy a nice lobster dinner. You might just see a deer or two wander through the yard, listen to the loons or watch the birds and just let the evening roll on by.

Exciting news! Stonington has been added to the places to see this summer! tripstodiscover.com has tabbed the small island town of Stonington as a can't-miss visit this summer. We are under the "16 Best Small Beach Towns in the U.S. This Summer."

Visiting a best friend and favorite place

Mostly spent time with a long- time friend who has been a resident of the island for 24 years. Visited favorite restaurants and galleries, walked down to the water and spent much of an afternoon reading on the deck-- a luxury I don't often get.Wonderful location for us.

Deer Isle visit

Loved this house. It had all we needed and was very peaceful. It worked especially well with our infant whose crib fitted easily into the large bedroom. She also had plenty of room to crawl around and play in the living area. We loved it! We were four adults.

Home away from home

Can’t begin to describe how awesome this place and the owners are. Rachael and Michael went above and beyond to make us welcome, providing us with everything needed to make our stay great. The house is located in secluded woods in a peninsula of Deer isle and was so peaceful. We saw deer daily and felt so rejuvenated when we left. We will certainly be back. The house was perfectly located away from the tourist masses but close enough to the village Stonington, Bar Harbor and Acadia National park to be convenient. The local town of Stonginton and its people were awesome and so friendly. All in all the place, the hosts and the experience was outstanding.

Wonderful Hidden Gem

Beautifully restored home, surrounded by nature. Very easy to get to, but far enough off the main road that you do not hear any traffic. The water is a short walk down the road. As beautiful inside as it is outside. Wonderful deck with a swing for sitting outside and enjoy life. If there are better owners out there I would be surprised. Rachael and Mike are wonderful people and we were lucky enough to have the chance to meet them. Definitely get it touch with them for the scoop on the local hangouts and restaurants. Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful location! Could not have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. The house had everything you could ask for and even a little more. Rachael was very quick to answer any questions we had about activities around the island and was able to point us in a few directions for entertainment for the kids! If your looking for a nice quiet location without the huge tourist attraction this is a great place to go. A few local small beaches around the island with a short enough drive to anything on the main land. Defintely would stay again!!!

Short work trip

My colleague and I stayed at this property while on the Isle for a quick trip. Our host, Rachael, was beneficial before our arrival, providing us with clear directions and detailed check-in instructions. The house was clean, the property was well-maintained both indoors and out, and it was so relaxing and quiet!

This is a BEAUTIFUL property. The home was spotless, and the patio deck was perfect. We enjoyed sitting out in the morning with our coffee and taking in the scenery. The owners are wonderful people, and we got to meet them personally. The appliances are top-of-the-line, and all the accessories were provided. If we ever return to Deer Isle, we will be looking to stay here again.

Deer isle / Stonington Stone’s Throw House

Spotless, comfortable, relaxing! We enjoyed the nice deck and comfortable chairs overlooking woods with ferns and glimpses of the water beyond. Large kitchen with nice appliances; dishwasher, immaculate refrigerator, microwave… also a nice w/d area in large bathroom. Enjoyed exploring the local area. Intended to shoot some hoops, but didn’t get to it, too busy relaxing. Our host Rachel was excellent… kind and helpful.
