Truly great
Couldn't have asked for a more comfortable, clean home....the kitchen was really well equipped.....we were amazed at all of the gadgets and spices! Just like home (or better!) Kathie was very nice, friendly and available when needed.

Most amazing home ever
I cant say enough about this home- most unusual and comfortable space- plenty of room for privacy and togetherness. Beautifully appointed, comfortable furniture, completely stocked kitchen. Paddling was perfect, complete with an enormous eagles nest on the island just off the dock. Kathie is an excellent and prompt communicator and very flexible. I hope we can schedule for next year

Wonderful location to explore Deer Isle and Stonington
The Chalet - We had a wonderful stay at The Chalet. It slept our family plus in laws comfortably and was an excellent home base to explore Deer Isle and Stonington. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook (minus the food). There were some puzzles and indoor/outdoor games to play with also. Having a washer/dryer made the 2 week stay much easier. There’s a walking path to the shore/dock right from the Chalet (maybe 5 min walking downhill). We loved how private and wooded the property is. Overall the house and property were even better than pictured. Just a note that the house is not insulated or heated, it does have a working fireplace though.
The area - We visited almost every preserve the island had to offer and they were all great — better than great, 10 out of 10. It was enough to keep us busy for 2 weeks with a few repeats. Visiting Barred Island Preserve was top of the list and others like Shore Acres and Scott’s Landing were great because their meadow trails were easier for kids/grandparents to walk on. Sand Beach was a family favorite too, be brave and swim. The area is not well-suited for bicycles, shoulders on roads are small or non-existent. There is no “major” grocery store on Deer Isle but there are several seafood and regular food markets. The seafood was very delicious! We intended to take a drive to a larger grocery store but never did and were completely fine. We visited in mid-September and by then most places were operating with “Fall” hours, which we had to be mindful of. A few things we didn’t do but you could - take the ferry to Isle Ah Haut from Stonington, drive 1.5 hrs to Acadia National Park.
We really enjoyed this trip!

Perfect!
The Chalet was perfect for our two-week stay on Deer Isle. The house delighted us beyond our expectations. It’s spacious, inviting, and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen. The location is great, whether for lounging on the deck, kayaking to explore the beautiful area by water, or taking day trips around the islands and to Acadia. Kathie was the perfect host, welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We hope to return next year.
