Thank you for an enjoyable stay. Nicely equipped with everything we could possibly need. Comfortable and homey with the charm of Maine. Sunsets are gorgeous by the fire pit in the evening!

My family and I had the most amazing stay. The location, right on the water was paradise. The home was beautiful, stunningly decorated, and very comfortable. The home is a former artist's retreat and paintings were displayed throughout the house. We were able to rent kayaks from our hosts and being able to launch from the backyard was a highlight of our trip. This is the place to stay when in Deer Isle.

Our 3 generation family loved this special place! The view of the water from the decks was amazing and the grounds were enchanting—flowers everywhere and numerous outdoor spaces for the kids and adults to wander through. It is a very quiet and peaceful spot. We loved swimming at high tide and also enjoyed kayaking each day right from the property. The house was very comfortable and well equipped, and what a treat to be surrounded by fine original art. It felt like a family home. The kids enjoyed discovering games tucked away in the den. We will definitely be back!

We have been coming to Deer Isle for 35 years now, so we are very familiar with the location and the available rental market. This property was beautiful, well-maintained, well-equipped, and very stylish. We loved the art, the view and the gorgeous gardens.

Nice view. Wife thought it was magnificent. Maybe the downstairs toilet could use a sign "Toilet". Looks like a closet.
