Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 2 Baths (Sleeps 5-6)
Keywords: House with 7 quiet acres of pine forest and a beautiful costal cove
Peaceful, quite getaway, ideal for couples and small families. Beautiful new home on an equally beautiful salt water cove in Town of Stonington, on Deer Isle, in the well-known sailing paradise of Penobscot Bay. Surrounded by 7 acres of evergreen forest, in a small, quiet area 3 miles from downtown Stonington. House was designed by noted Blue Hill architect Robert Knight and is abundantly sunny and airy, with over 50 windows or skylights.
New top of the line fixtures in kitchen and baths. Shower in Master bath is exceptional with striking views of the forest. Pets allowed only with owner's permission. Deer Isle is what Julia Child referred to as "true Downeast Maine" when she often vacationed near our home. With lobster and seafood galore!
Sea Kayaking can be done right from the property's edge (2 boats available). Island has small golf course, tennis, many hiking trails, freshwater pond, and gorgeous sunsets. Haystack Mountain School of Arts and Crafts is a renowned workshop facility on the island. It's a short ferry boat trip from Stonington to Isle au Haut, part of Acadia National Park, which itself is about 90 minutes drive from Deer Isle.
Deer Isle is also well know for its artist community, with many wonderful galleries and antique shops.

New Home on a Quiet Maine Coastal Cove
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Stonington
We love it on Deer Isle - it's a wonderful combination of natural beauty, peace and quiet, and opportunities for the kinds of outdoor activities we love to do on a daily basis. The island is not commercialized, nor overrun with tourists. Penobscot Bay is truly a paradise.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Hiking, running, golf, sea kayaking, and plenty of great seafood.
The Opera House in downtown Stonington has a terrific range of cultural events from movies to theatre to music and more.

The owner's description and prior guests comments are very accurate. We wanted peace and quiet in a class act vacation home -- and that's exactly what we got. I recommend Whale's Rib restaurant as well as the internet connections at the delightful little golf course or the Stonington library (when was the last time you the Hardy Boys series in mint condition?) when you're not eating dirt cheap pirced lobsters from the local co-ops or super friendly Donna at her upholstery shop just up the main road (her hubby is a fisherman). The clammers who worked the cove in front of the house one morning were very friendly. Did I mention that the local pharmacist called every drug store between Stonington and Bar Harbor to find my persription in stock? Sandy Beach is gorgeous; renting a bicycle to circle around Isle au Haut on a beautiful day (decide that morning) is a great idea (I'm 63 -- bring your point and shoot camera in your day pack). In short, we had a memorable, restful time. .

Trip to Maine & Trecker4's Houise

After you leave the main highway, you realize you are in a special place. The people and feeling of real Maine are here. Once you arrive at the house, it is in a quiet area of the island surrounded by thick and ancient forest. there are deer, plenty of clams in the mud flats, and water access for kayaking and swimming. The house was a perfect place for relaxation and enjoying family or friends. It is airy and comfortable, simple and clean, with lots of light provided by an abundance of windows and skylights. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the porch and eating lobster dinners. One morning, I found more than a dozen cobwebs outside near the house, all coated with dew, creating thousands of jewels hung on the silk web. We enjoyed visiting Haystack Moutain School of Crafts and the many galleries on the island. The restaurants were great with lots of fresh fish; the settings were perfect and the people could not have been more friendly. All in all, a wonderful vacation for us!

A Wonderful Down East Experience

We have stayed at the Trecker's house on Deer Isle on two different occasions and both times left feeling deeply refreshed. The house is situated to give great views of the water, whether you are on the deck, inside the screen porch, eating at the dining table or reading in the living room. If you like to cook, the kitchen is inviting, well-equipped, well laid out and even has a dishwasher! Two couples can share the house and each have a degree of privacy with their own bath. A lottery might be needed to decide who gets to have the AMAZING upstairs shower! If you get a cool, foggy day you can build a fire in the small woodstove and curl up with a good book. The house has an aesthetically pleasing character that combines a modern feeling inside, including up-to-date appliances, with a simple rustic exterior. We have taken many great walks and runs in the surrounding woods and on the dirt road where the house is located. It is in a gorgeous spot. We have also enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and always stop before we leave the island at "Nervous Nellie's Jams and Jellies" to buy yummy gifts and learn about the latest unusual bird sightings. It is obvious the Treckers have put a lot of loving care and artistic touches into this beautiful house. It feels like we have been welcomed into their home. We can't imagine a nicer place to stay and hope to be back many times! It was magical!!

Quiet side of Maine

This was a perfect place to enjoy Maine without all the tourists. Quick drive into Stonington, a quaint fishing village with no pretense and lots to do (shopping, eating, artisans, and lobster fresh from the boats). Night life does not exist as all but a few restaurants stay open after 5:00. There is plenty of hiking nearby on relatively short but beautiful trails. The Trecker's home has a great layout, especially for two couples, and is in a beautiful location, very clean and with plenty of amenities. Sit on the porch with a cup of coffee, relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the bay and the wind blowing through the pines. It doesn't get better than this!
