Location: Stonington, Deer Isle, Acadia, Maine, USA (Property is in Oceanville, Cat Cove - 3 mi. from Stonington)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 5-6)
Peaceful, quite getaway, ideal for couples. Beautiful new home on an equally beautiful 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 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.

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 of this House
Hiking, running, golf, sea kayaking, and plenty of great seafood.
