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.

Exciting news! Stonington has been added to the places to see this summer! tripstodiscover.com has tabbed the small island town of Stonington as a can't-miss visit this summer. We are under the "16 Best Small Beach Towns in the U.S. This Summer."

Visiting a best friend and favorite place

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.

Beautiful location! Could not have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. The house had everything you could ask for and even a little more. Rachael was very quick to answer any questions we had about activities around the island and was able to point us in a few directions for entertainment for the kids! If your looking for a nice quiet location without the huge tourist attraction this is a great place to go. A few local small beaches around the island with a short enough drive to anything on the main land. Defintely would stay again!!!
