A true gem on Deer Isle

We loved our stay here! We are completely charmed by the natural beauty of the location. The owner Lindsay is dedicated to preserving the native flora of the property's meadow, forest, and cove. We delighted in the cove's low and high tide's changing landscape and fauna. Lindsay was a wonderful and gracious host, who was responsive to our little family's needs. Our only regret was not staying longer.

Peace and Quiet

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ve fallen in love with Stonington over the past several years, and this trip made it so memorable. Having access to the kayaks was amazing, and we loved being so close to downtown. We saw thousands of fireflies light up the meadow at night and the view of the cove and meadow never gets old. There’s even a decent stocked market right down the road. We can’t wait to come back.

Early summer stay

We enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable, bright, charming Maine cottage on a scenic inlet overlooking the cove. Simple, creative accommodations; enjoyed fresh cut, beautifully arranged flowers from her garden. Lindsay is such a thoughtful host.. she surprised us one day with a box of fresh strawberries. At night, the meadow was full of fireflies. A very special place.

Cove Meadow Cottage

I was looking for privacy and quiet; did not realize the host lives right next door and the very busy road runs just behind cottage. Beautiful views in front, road noise from behind, which I’m sensitive to. Floors are chipping their paint and are uneven, hard to get clean. Everything else above floor was clean. As a yoga practitioner the floor is important. I know what questions to ask next time. Host is very sweet and caring.

Lovely stay

Lovely property. House very clean and quaintly decorated. Did not realize the owners house was right next door. She was a lovely host and did not intrude on us. We wanted to be in a private spot. Overall I would recommend a stay. Lovely trail down to the water front. So relaxing.

Soooo much nicer than we imagined

Extremely beautiful location! Very cozy cottage with great views. Cottage has all the amenities you would need for "staying put", but not far from hiking trails, shops, restaurants, and lobster boats! Owner was always available if needed and gives GREAT advice on where to go and what to do. Awesome getaway for a couple to decompress and breathe. We will be coming back for sure!

Amazing stay at Cove Meadow

My husband and I were looking for a peaceful relaxing ‘get away’ in a place of natural beauty. Cove Meadow couldn’t have been more perfect. This cottage is quaint and comfortable. The setting and surrounding area gorgeous. The cottage sits above the bay, surrounded by a lovely wildflower meadow . Lindsay, the owner, was the perfect hostess; Knowledgeable about the area and helpful in every way. We’d highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves nature, the sea, and who also enjoys the charm of a small seaside village. Stonington is delightful!

Cottage in Stonington, Me

I have always dreamed of staying at a magical place such as this. It is an artist destination. Everywhere you look it is magnificent. This has been the most relaxation I have ever done on vacation. The cottage is well stocked. Vegetables and flowers, kayaks, canoe, books, firepit, grill scenery and chairs outside to take it all in. We saw the full moon rise with all the stars around it, The area is very laid back with great seafood and wonderful hiking. We will go back!!! Mo and Fran ,Chesterfield ,NJ

Cove Meadow is truly "a little bit of heaven"...Maine-style!

Sweet lovely cottage, perfect for a couple. Well equipped kitchen; fun to cook in as there is a vegetable garden alongside for the tenants use!! Fabulous lettuce, peas, herbs, celery, and more. Gorgeous view that changes throughout the day with magical paths to wander in among the wild meadow grasses, down to grassy areas overlooking the rocks and beach of the cove. Canoe and kayaks available. The whole area of Deer Isles is a feast for hikers, arts people, everyone!!
