We have stayed at Felsted before, and we returned with family and guests. The house easily accommodated everyone from age 6 to 86. The first-floor bedroom and bath were perfect for grandparents. There was a rain storm during our visit and we enjoyed sitting on the large covered deck and watching the ocean and the waves during the storm. The wildlife is amazing. We saw seals, porpoises, eagles, osprey, ducks, gulls and sea birds. Around the property we saw rabbits, deer, foxes, monarch butterflies and many kinds of birds, including the large pileated woodpecker. The kids loved the rocky shore, the beach, and the forest around the house. They spent hours playing and exploring. Thank you again to our great hosts. If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Felsted is an amazing property and we hope to return next year.

This is an amazing property with a lovely house with a wonderful history. The views are amazing and the location is quiet and safe and staying here was incredibly relaxing. This is truly a unique place - the architecture is spectacular and the micro-environment is perfect. Acadia is an easy day trip and the local towns and hikes are great as well. This is a perfect place for a family reunion or just a quiet getaway to recharge your batteries. The stove is old but works beautifully - it is a fun kitchen in which to cook. The beds are great. The rooms are large most have amazing views. Truly, can't recommend it enough.

Exceptional all the way around! It felt like going home and then I watched the movie filmed there, "Finding Home"! The sunset was magnificent. The owner went above and beyond with hospitality.

Felsted is more than a vacation house. It’s where the man responsible for the creation of Central Park spent his summers, and where you can feel the presence of history when staying there. The view from the porch never gets old, and you can sit there for hours watching the lobster boats and listening to the waves. If you feel like leaving the property, and not every one in our group did, it’s a ten minute walk from the house to the Barred Island Preserve trail which winds through the forest to the island, about a forty minute hike. Although several events and markets have not reopened due to Covid, the Stonington farmers market offered produce, crafts and many friendly local artisans on Friday morning. Lastly, Meredith could not have been more responsive and helpful if questions arose. She has created a special place for people looking for a memorable coastal Maine experience. We look forward to returning next year.

Absolutely wonderful. It doesn’t get any better than this. An incredible experience and we can’t wait to return! Felsted (the historic name of this home) is a quiet, private, beautiful place to spend time. The deck overlooking the ocean is magical. Pictures and words don’t do it justice. We spent hours relaxing on the deck and watching the breathtaking views. Sitting on the deck at sunset became a blissfully relaxing daily ritual. We saw schooners and sailboats, lobster boats, eagles, seals, and spectacular sunsets. The house itself is a delightful and fascinating place. Although it is not perfect, its charm, rich history and character more than make up for its quirks. Felsted is furnished beautifully, with lots of original art on the walls. The master bedroom has windows on three sides and stunning views. All the beds are newer and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and we loved the vintage restaurant stove. Right outside the kitchen door there is a BBQ and an area to cook lobster. What a bonus to have a private beach right at the house! We enjoyed spending time at the picnic table and hammock overlooking the water. It was an awesome place to launch our kayaks. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. They gave us wonderful recommendations on every Maine topic and helped us with everything from kayak rentals to restaurants, shopping, hiking trails and more. We can’t thank them enough for sharing their fantastic home. We definitely didn’t want to leave and we hope to return soon.

Hope to stay again when more restorations done.
