Enjoyable stay!
Large charming home with lots of things to do even on rainy days.Beautiful deck views. Slightly dated ( which added to the charm) but very comfortable and clean. Basement was a little musty.

Paradise by the sea
If you are looking for fancy, this isn’t the place for you. But if a huge, comfortable home is what you are looking for…this home is perfect. While the decor reminded me a bit of my grandmother’s home, that just added to its charm. Nestled right next to the water on a secluded peninsula, the house had everything we needed. We hiked through pristine woods, kayaked in the bay and watched the boats float gently in the cove. Breakfasts on the deck and evenings spent playing ping pong and air hockey filled our day. My family, and our two dogs enjoyed every moment of our stay. All the beds were super comfortable and the grocery store was 10 minutes away. Acadia and Bar Harbor were about an hour away. The only downside was that we had to leave- and even leaving was magical as a baby fox popped out of his den to see us off. We would definitely stay here again.

A trip back to the 70's
Nice, clean, and dated home. The wifi was unreliable, possibly because of a tree leaning on phone wires on the road leading to the house. Great views. The lockbox was not in an obvious place and after driving 7 hours, it was frustrating not to be able to get in and unload things while there was still a little daylight.

Very happy stay at Shangrila
There was plenty of room for 4 of us plus dog. The location overlooked moored boats including double masted schooners and lobster boats. Walks on the forested roads were very pleasant. Stonington and Blue Hill both within easy distance. Small grocery store ten minutes away.

Excellent Week!
It was clean and spacious. Upon entering, there were a short set of clear rules to follow for our stay and that is always helpful. Everyone noted the beds were especially comfortable. This is a real get a way cottage with lovely views into the cove. Cottage offers a variety of things to do and help with anyone's interest. It is about 10 minutes from Stonington and actually just about everything else in Deer Isle. None of us would have any problem staying here again.

homey
It is clean but VERY dated. A wonderful home that needs updating especially carpet and window treatments. Could be beautiful. I could not go upstairs because I am partially disabled and it has a spiral staircase. The 1st floor bedroom was fine but quite far from the bathroom.
