Beautiful Cottage at Deer Isle

Lindsay was a truly exceptional host and provided excellent information on local food and activities. We particularly enjoyed learning how to harvest mussels and clams, as well as kayaking in the cove. Our stay at the Meadow Cove cottage was lovely and the perfect getaway from the distractions of everyday life. I truly hope to be able to return and visit again in the future.

This little cottage was exactly as the pictures portray! Its sits at the head of a cove, with long views of the cove. You can sit in a couple of sweet spots to watch the tide come and go. And the property is the most lovely, natural meadow with natural flora, bees and butterflies. So peaceful and gorgeous. Lindsay is wonderful -- kind, knowledgeable, and generous. It was like staying with a relative (one you really really like!!). We are avid kayaks, so watching the tides was important, but we loved paddling in the cove out to Stonington and the neighboring areas. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Home, Fantastic Hospitality

This space is not only a wonderfully appointed cottage but the property is splendid. From the canoeing to the hammock in the wooded area to the Adirondack chairs throughout with thoughtfully placed umbrellas, everything for a cozy and relaxing vacation is here! The gardens here are SPECTACULAR and the field of fireflies should not be missed! The space is thoughtfully and exquisitely decorated - the care and love for this place is evident. Lindsay is a wonderful and thoughtful host full of great suggestions of where to go, knowledge she's eager to share and enjoyable conversations. 15-20 minute commute to Haystack, close by to a little grocery store and Stonington. Hoping we can be back soon!

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.

A peaceful gem in coastal Maine

My friend Bill and I spent a week here over the July 4th weekend, and it was nothing short of soul-soothing. The moment we arrived, the house felt like a sanctuary—quiet, light-filled, and lovingly tended, with fresh flowers in vases that welcomed us like an embrace.We cooked nourishing meals with produce from the Blue Hill Co-op (a scenic 40-minute drive) and dined out just once—crab cakes at Fathom 27 in Stonington village, a short and beautiful drive away. Most days, I painted with watercolors, kayaked alone in the still cove, read in the hammock, and wandered to Barred Island through mossy woods and soft silence.At night, we sat by the fire pit and watched fireflies blink like stars in the grass. The days were unhurried and full of quiet beauty—each moment a soft exhale.Lindsay was a gracious and thoughtful host, present without ever intruding. Her care is felt in every corner of the space. I left feeling lighter, inspired, and more connected to myself.Thank you, Lindsay, for creating something so quietly magical. I will carry it with me. I will return

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.

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!
