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.

Awesome house! We had a great stay. The kids absolutely loved the basketball court, and the back porch was so peaceful, the perfect place to relax. Everything was spotless. We also really appreciated that there were plenty of towels, which is a huge plus when you have kids who somehow think a towel can only be used once! We’d definitely stay here again!

We would love to host you and your family again! Happy to know that you enjoyed the deck, it is a great place to unwind and perhaps see some deer or rabbits wandering through. I also fully understand the towels, definitely a must!
We had a great experience here! It is a perfect spot with 3 teenage boys. The space, environment, everything is fine. The house itself is beautiful and has all accessoires needed. The island is beautiful with a lot of peaceful villages and restaurants.Well located for a day trip to Acadia National Park, which is an approximately 1 hour drive.Overall, we would definitely recommend to stay here, with an outstanding host (Rachael) as well!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your family. I’m so happy to hear the house was a great fit for your three teenage boys and that you enjoyed exploring the island’s peaceful villages, local restaurants, and Acadia National Park.
One of my favorite things is knowing guests are able to relax, make wonderful memories, and feel at home during their stay. Thank you for choosing my home and for taking the time to share your experience. You are welcome back anytime, and I hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future!
11/10 starsOkay, I NEVER write reviews, but this property beyond exceeded all expectations. As a teacher and staunch perfectionist, I'm trained to find flaws in almost everything. This place is unequivocal in beauty, peace, and solitude. Unbelievable. Don't even think of hesitating to book this place now!

It’s amazing how a small dirt road off a busy road can lead to this serene getaway! I am always happy to know others find it as special as I do. The quiet, solitude (except for the occasional wildlife) and view of the night stars is amazing for sure!
Thank you for being great guests! I will leave a light on for you!
Rachel was very accommodating and communicated great. She was a pleasure to deal with . The listing was even better than described . Highly recommend if you are in the area .
We had a great stay at this clean, centrally-located home. The host was very responsive and helped us with extending our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed (though we would have preferred if the pots were not non-stick and the plates melamine). Overall, we loved our vacation at A Stone’s Throw, and look forward to return visits to the area. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! It is a great place to return to after a day of exploring. Also, I am happy that the weather was not as rainy as was perdicted. You are more than welcome to come back anytime, thank you for bring such great guests!
I am sorry that you did not like our pots and pans. Ceramic coated cookware Is one of the few kinds we can still purchase in Maine, which meets the PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, Gen X, APEO, lead, and cadmium free reqirments. I also have new dinner ware arriving soon as well. I appreciate A fellow health conscious person, every little thing helps.
This trip was for a sad occasion, but host Rachel made it memorable!!
Great location and property!
All will enjoy this property-guaranteed

Clean and well maintained VRBO in a very secluded part of Deer Isle. Close to the lobster harbor and other attraction. Hosts extremely friendly and helpful. 5 stars isn't enough. Would recommend this rental to anyone. Great place!!Bucky and Sharon Billing

It is such a relaxing spot isn't it? I'm happy you all enjoyed yourselves, and thank you for being such great guests!
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.
The property owners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and provided a lot of helpful tips of things to explore during our trip. Great location on Deer Island nice and secluded peaceful property! Cant wait to come back again!
