Photos and Description of this Deer Isle holiday house 3BR, 2 baths, sleeps up to 6, fully equipped kitch, laundry, cable TV, 2 decks

'The Island View House,' as it was known in its tourist house days, promoted 'gorgeous sunsets over the Camden Hills and one of the most picturesque views in the State of Maine.' It's been completely updated while maintaining the historic charm. There's a large yard with gardens, apple trees, stone wall, and a small barn for bikes, kayaks, & canoes. It's a five minute walk to public beach. Two large decks: lower one has picnic table, grill, swing; upper deck has sweeping views across Eggmoggin Reach--a lovely place to relax with wine and cheese at sunset. After dark, the Milky Way, shooting stars, and bright planets make this a star-gazer's 'heaven.' Spacious rooms are light and airy with comfortable furniture, good beds in three bedrooms, and two full baths. A large, fully equipped kitchen with island, breakfast bar and large dining area is a great place to prepare fresh seafood. Refinished hardwood or pumpkin pine floors. Lots of extras--beach chairs, toys, videos, games.

A Wonderful Family Vacation Site

Linda and Allan Finger Lakes Region of New York State
Review Submitted: April 2, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
My husband and I rented this home for a week for a family vacation with two of our adult children and their spouses. My daughter's reaction when she walked in was, "Wow!" She had expected a small rustic cottage. The pictures on the website accurately portray the charm of this lovely farmhouse on hill overlooking the causeway which connects little Deer Isle and Deer Isle. We enjoyed day trips to Stonington Harbor, Acadia National Park, and just roaming Deer Isle to visit artist studios and galleries. But don't miss getting back to the house for a glorious sunset in the evening and lobster dinner. Lobster can be purchased fresh at Stongington Harbor. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare a gourmet meal. We had a memorable vacation on Deer Isle and would highly recommend a stay at "The Island View House."

Marvelous house and location

ContentedTraveler Johnson City, TN, USA
Review Submitted: March 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We hated to leave Deer Isle and this wonderful house! The setting and the arrangements could not have been better. I, and all my family, are so glad that I "stumbled" upon the house on the internet and that it was available for the time we needed it. Everyone in my family (all 7 of us, including our then 2 yr. old grandson!) have already said to each other that this house is the one we want to stay in on our next family vacation to Deer Isle. We all felt at home with the well-equipped kitchen, the oh-so-comfortable beds, the gorgeous sunsets (we took lots of photos to remember them), the sun-filled rooms... a truly homey setting that made our vacation in Maine even better! Carol and Carole are the perfect "hosts" and I can't imagine anyone else being so accommodating and helpful.
