Photos and Description of the Deer Isle - Stonington vacation house rental Victorian House: 5 BR/3 BA, Sleeps 10-11; Limited Availability in Winter - Call

All the charm of a 1900-vintage house with completely updated kitchens and baths and modern conveniences for your vacation on the coast of Maine! All our guests have been very pleased with our wonderful views and charming, well-equipped house. The location is truly spectacular, with 100 feet of frontage on the Deer Isle Thoroughfare. The house covers three floors, and the first and second ones each have fully equipped kitchens -- perfect for two or three couples to vacation together. The first floor sleeps two or three in twin beds and is surrounded by the wrap-around deck. The second floor has recently undergone a major renovation and is gloriously open and sunny with a balcony/deck for enjoying the fantastic harbor view. The kitchen has Deer Isle granite counters and great appliances; the bedrooms on this floor offer a king and an extra-long twin bed. The third floor has three additional bedrooms (queen, double, and twin beds), including the charming 'Crow's Nest' or turret room

Further details for this vacation house rental in Deer Isle - Stonington, Maine

You'll feel like an old friend on your 1st visit! : As every visitor to the Lobster Trap says, 'Wow, what a view!' The first floor of the house sits one story above street level and has a wide, wrap-around deck that always offers cool and refreshing breezes. If you can tear yourself away from the deck, you'll find an open, sunny living room and dining room, plus a cozy library with studio couch. The walls are graced with paintings collected through the years. The one bedroom on this level has two comfortable twin beds, with end tables and good reading lights for each. A full kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher, the bathroom with tub/shower, and a washer and dryer complete this space.

Second floor just remodeled! : The view and the living space only get better on the second floor, where our parents spent the summers from the time that they bought the house in 1970. This level comprises one large room extending the entire width of the house, with well equipped kitchen (they both loved to cook!) and attractively appointed dining and living areas, a brand-new deck, full bath with shower, and sunlight galore! Facing due south, you'll gasp at the glorious sunrises, sunsets, and moonrises from this vantage point. Two bedrooms are on this floor: a small one with brand new extra-long twin bed plus the computer desk, and the master bedroom, also with brand new bed, a king. All linens and colorful quilts are provided. A bathroom with shower is accessible from this bedroom as well as the kitchen.

Third floor Crow's Nest is charming!: And saving the best for last - if the extended family wants to join you on vacation, head upstairs! Two more bedrooms plus bath with shower await on the third floor, as well as the wonderful Crow's Nest, a large living room with an extra bed for you to lounge on. This is the spot to sit and read, paint, or enjoy an evening cocktail or a game of Trivial Pursuit. This floor has a queen, a double, and a single bed. With its south-facing exposure and many large windows, The Lobster Trap enjoys brilliant sunshine. But many guests find watching the fog banks creep in over the islands or a rip-roaring storm even more fascinating! No worries: we have central heat on the first and second floors, so you'll always be comfortable. Air conditioning is not needed on Stonington's waterfront. Just open the windows!

It was the first time to Maine for almost all of us, and there was no better place to get a Maine experience but The Lobster Trap. The comfort of your home combined with the view of the harbor, the smell of the sea, the sound of the fog horn soothing us into a relaxed state of life. . . We spent our days exploring the beaches, nooks, and islands around us, and the evenings with puzzles, conversations, and the Olympics.

The kids loved drawing views from the upstairs bedroom windows while the adults relaxed on the deck. As much as we tried to make use of the two kitchens, we never could but loved the concept. When we get back to Chicago, we will dream of Maine and look forward to returning soon.

This place is magical, from the tall sailing boats to the working lobstermen: A perfect location and home. Your house is well-equipped and beautifully decorated. By far, it is the best home we’ve rented yet. Thank you for sharing it with us.

What can we say about your beautiful home and lovely town? It was the perfect setting for our anniversary celebration and provided complete relaxation! The views, the comfortable beds, the well-equipped kitchen, the beautiful decks, fabulous art and book collections . . . all combined for a memorable visit we will not soon forget. We already know we will be back; it is just a matter of when! Thanks to you, and your parents, for preserving such a treasure of the Maine Coast.
