With panoramic ocean views on a 4 acre property, this historic beachfront Deer Isle, Maine cottage -- renovated in 2021 -- transports you to a cozy and character filled seaside paradise. Watch the sunset over the water from the expansive deck, make s'mores around the firepit, head down the stairs to the private beach and collect shells or launch a kayak, or sit in the living room by the wood burning stove. There are 5 bed bedrooms, a living room, and a separate "kid den" with smart TV.
We are at the top of Deer Isle with a large private beach just a few steps down from our front yard with large deck and fire pit. The cottage was originally built by our grandfather in 1970's and renovated in 2021 with a massive addition. It's a mix of old and new, with furniture and Maine needlepoint artwork throughout that were built by our grandparents but with all the modern amenities you need to feel comfortable, including two smart TVs and wifi. We are just a short drive from Stonington where you can check out local art galleries and antique shops or pick your own lobster. Yes, we have everything you need to cook your lobster at the cottage!
You will need a car to get around, there is plenty of parking on the property.
We are based in Washington, DC but have a local caretaker who can come over and help with anything you might need during your stay.
Deer Isle is located in the Penobscot Bay and is part of the traditional territory of the Penobscot Nation. It's natural beauty is breathtaking--walk along the shell filled beaches, hike the granite quarry, kayak or stand-up paddle board off our private beach (you must rent your own kayaks) or you can drive into Stonington and kayak or SUP in the bay. Stonington which is a short drive from the cottage is dotted with antique shops, restaurants, art galleries, and of course the Stonington Opera House. It is also an authentic fishing village filled with lobster boats and delicious fresh lobster. Within a 5 minute drive from the cottage we also have a small grocery store, a lobster shack, a burger shack and playground, a local coffee shop, and art galleries.

It's rugged deep woods setting so we request that you consider removing your shoes when inside keep the dirt away. Thank you
