We loved our stay here! We are completely charmed by the natural beauty of the location. The owner Lindsay is dedicated to preserving the native flora of the property's meadow, forest, and cove. We delighted in the cove's low and high tide's changing landscape and fauna. Lindsay was a wonderful and gracious host, who was responsive to our little family's needs. Our only regret was not staying longer.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ve fallen in love with Stonington over the past several years, and this trip made it so memorable. Having access to the kayaks was amazing, and we loved being so close to downtown. We saw thousands of fireflies light up the meadow at night and the view of the cove and meadow never gets old. There’s even a decent stocked market right down the road. We can’t wait to come back.

We enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable, bright, charming Maine cottage on a scenic inlet overlooking the cove. Simple, creative accommodations; enjoyed fresh cut, beautifully arranged flowers from her garden. Lindsay is such a thoughtful host.. she surprised us one day with a box of fresh strawberries. At night, the meadow was full of fireflies. A very special place.

Private quiet property with cooling breezes and marvelous views.

I was looking for privacy and quiet; did not realize the host lives right next door and the very busy road runs just behind cottage. Beautiful views in front, road noise from behind, which I’m sensitive to. Floors are chipping their paint and are uneven, hard to get clean.
Everything else above floor was clean. As a yoga practitioner the floor is important.
I know what questions to ask next time.
Host is very sweet and caring.

Lovely property. House very clean and quaintly decorated. Did not realize the owners house was right next door. She was a lovely host and did not intrude on us. We wanted to be in a private spot. Overall I would recommend a stay. Lovely trail down to the water front. So relaxing.

Extremely beautiful location! Very cozy cottage with great views. Cottage has all the amenities you would need for "staying put", but not far from hiking trails, shops, restaurants, and lobster boats! Owner was always available if needed and gives GREAT advice on where to go and what to do. Awesome getaway for a couple to decompress and breathe. We will be coming back for sure!

My husband and I were looking for a peaceful relaxing ‘get away’ in a place of natural beauty. Cove Meadow couldn’t have been more perfect. This cottage is quaint and comfortable. The setting and surrounding area gorgeous. The cottage sits above the bay, surrounded by a lovely wildflower meadow . Lindsay, the owner, was the perfect hostess; Knowledgeable about the area and helpful in every way. We’d highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves nature, the sea, and who also enjoys the charm of a small seaside village. Stonington is delightful!

I have always dreamed of staying at a magical place such as this. It is an artist destination. Everywhere you look it is magnificent. This has been the most relaxation I have ever done on vacation. The cottage is well stocked. Vegetables and flowers, kayaks, canoe, books, firepit, grill scenery and chairs outside to take it all in. We saw the full moon rise with all the stars around it, The area is very laid back with great seafood and wonderful hiking. We will go back!!! Mo and Fran ,Chesterfield ,NJ

Kayaking, stars, close food store and little ocean beach, watching the rhythm of the tides in the cove and the wheeling, raucous birds.... what's not to love?

Cove Meadow is truly "a little bit of heaven"...Maine-style!
Sweet lovely cottage, perfect for a couple. Well equipped kitchen; fun to cook in as there is a vegetable garden alongside for the tenants use!! Fabulous lettuce, peas, herbs, celery, and more. Gorgeous view that changes throughout the day with magical paths to wander in among the wild meadow grasses, down to grassy areas overlooking the rocks and beach of the cove. Canoe and kayaks available. The whole area of Deer Isles is a feast for hikers, arts people, everyone!!

Cove Meadow Cottage was exactly as advertised and much more. Lindsay provided a beautiful cottage in an exquisite setting and then turned it over to us as our own private property. We felt pampered and immensely grateful.

Maine Paradise!
Best vacation ever with the most wonderful host, Lindsay! She made us feel right at home and we are so grateful to her for sharing her adorable cottage with its ringside seat to the glory of nature. The cove, the adjoining meadow, and Deer Isle itself are beautiful beyond what words can describe. We highly recommend this getaway spot and can't wait to return!!!

Slice of Heaven
An absolutely magical little hideaway. Lindsay's meadow on the cove is just the most relaxing spot to unwind, disconnect and soak in the beauty around you. Lindsay was very helpful with suggestions for places to eat, shop and visit. We used her kayaks to explore the cove and the fire pit made for a great place to watch the sunset and have a glass of wine. I didn't make a dent in the book I brought to read because every time I sat outside to read it, I ended up staring at the trees and listening to the birds instead -- it was just too wonderful to ignore. The location on Deer Island was great being far enough away from the day-to-day tourists to feel peaceful, yet close enough to make day trips easy. The harbor area in Stonington was quite charming and the fresh seafood was amazing. We were sad to leave and will definitely visit again.

A great escape.
Welcoming, comforting, rejuvenating. Step out the front door of this sweet cottage and connect with the sights and sounds of the cove. Loved to watch the tide come in and out.

Pleasant stay
Everything we wanted in atmosphere and small town environment. Not as well stocked with basic items (coffee,salt, tongs) as most VRBO we have stayed at Info from owner was spot on as she guided us to some very fun experiences. Also let us use her kayaks and fire pit was nice. All in all a nice stay and somewhere we would return to.

The views are better than the picture. The house is bright, clean, and well appointed. A home away from home.
We will return and stay longer, absorbing the best Maine and visiting with our wonderful host.

Our stay at meadow cove
We had a spectacular experience! Lindsay was a wonderful host who was available to offer great suggestions and also afforded us the privacy we wanted. Kayaking and swimming in the cove was great! Loved exploring Deer Isle and Stonington along with the rest of the Blue Hill Penninsula.
The water view from the front deck provided a relaxing spot to enjoy a glass of wine each evening. We had such a wonderful experience. Thank you Lindsay for all you do to be a super host!!!

Peace and tranquillity
Lovely, quiet site with easy access to all of Deer Isle and we found that Acadia NP/Bar Harbor was a reasonable drive for day trips. A little like stepping back in time - in a good way, with a friendly host eager for us to take advantage of the area while we enjoyed being away from daily routines.

Enchanting Cottage
An enchanting cottage nestled on the shore of a stunning cove. Lindsay is a considerate and helpful hostess. A canoe and 2 kayaks make for an adventure…and wait until you try digging for clams! We had the time of our lives and hope to return in the future.
