About this cottage rental
Discover this uniquely located and beautifully furnished cottage nestled in the woods on an Island off the Coast Of Maine. Dry Cove Cottage is situated in a grassy clearing surrounded by towering alders and fir trees, located in the quiet, beautiful woods of Deer Isle, Maine.
This approximately 760 square foot cottage offers an open floor plan on the first floor with a living room, and kitchen with seating for 5 around an island. In the living room you will find a sofa, and two very comfortable recliners to kick back and relax in. There is a 42' Flat screen T.V. cable, with a DVD for your convenience. In the kitchen you will find all the necessary appliances you will need to make your vacation a breeze. For your convenience, an AM/FM/Cassette/CD player is also available.
We believe the best part of your stay should start with a great night’s sleep! All of the beds are equipped with top of the line mattresses. On the second floor you will find a master bedroom with a queen sized bed, and a second bedroom with an adult size bunk bed and a single twin size bed. In addition to the bedrooms, one full bath completes the second floor of this spacious cottage.
Our visitors are often so enchanted by the quiet, friendly beauty of Deer Isle that they stay “on island” for their entire stay. Others choose to explore the many other island and coastal communities nearby, from the islands of Isle au Haut, Vinal Haven, and North Haven and the neighboring Blue Hill peninsula to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. This cottage is the perfect location to explore them all. We are a four seasons, weekly rental with something to offer everyone.

An out of the way peaceful property but close to all needs. Absolutely beautiful area. If you are looking to totally relax onsite and be close to activity this home is perfect.
Ricky is a very attentive host- I called upon arrival and departure, and he picked the phone right up.
Definitely on my short list to return and enjoy the property and area again!

Pro’s: I really did like the with regards to Haystack, it was an easy 10-15 minute drive. Bed was comfortable and shower was sufficient. Loved the directv as well. Kitchen had everything you would need, including seasonings and plastic wrap etc.
Cons: No a/c, no laundry, could use a thorough cleaning, especially shower and side of fridge.
I would stay here again, but maybe not in mid-July.
Host was easy to reach.
Had to leave early suddenly due to unexpected work issue.

Ricky's cottage was far better than we expected. We had the most peaceful vacation I can remember. Waking up to birds singing, deer grazing outside, clean and well kept property, and Ricky was more than willing to accommodate our needs. Oh, and seafood everyday! We stayed on the island the while time exploring, hiking, and just watching from the pier.

Stonington, ME Holiday
Our whole family enjoyed this clean, well-appointed cottage, located inland, within a short drive of everything we wanted to do, from hiking to riding the mail boat! Our dog loved it too! So quiet and relaxing. And Ricky, the owner, was such a pleasure to do business with! Everything went smoothly.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and Bar Harbor. We had a very positive experience.

peace and quiet
The online listing needs to have the Spa/whirlpool removed as a feature. That was disappointing when that wasn't there. The shower needs a new showerhead. Other than that the house was very nice, clean and quiet. Deer Isle was beautiful and the people were very friendly. We enjoyed the time we spent there.

Peaceful and Secluded cottage on a beautiful Island
My family and I really enjoyed our stay on Deer Isle. The cottage was everything we expected from the description and more. My favorite part was sitting on the front porch with my coffee and listening to the wind in the trees. Our dog enjoyed the stay as well. The cottage was secluded enough that she could roam freely and be safe. We contacted the owner once before we traveled he answered right away and said if we needed anything to call. We needed nothing. The cottage was clean and the property well kept. It’s alittlle more than an hour to Acadia and Bar Harbor where we spent two of our days. The island was nice because it did not have the crowds of Bar Harbor.

Peaceful
We spent a lovely, relaxing week in this cottage. Everything we needed was available. Each day we explored different areas, from Blue Hill, Stonington, Castine and even the Sow's Ear winery. Hiking at Acadia, Barred Island and then spending quiet time watching the fireflies from the front porch. A great time!

Very quiet area. Nature was all around
House from start to finish was a great house. Love the loft area with the bedrooms. This house is also great to entertain company. We were thinking we had to go back and stay there every year we visit Maine from here on out. We had deer walking through the front yard every morning. Great location!!

Perfectly wonderful!!
We absolutely loved the Dry Cove Cottage that we stayed in last week. It was exactly like the pictures, and included everything we needed for our week-long stay at Deer Isle. We enjoyed the area immensely, and can't wait to return! The cottage was cozy, private, and just what we wanted in a rental. Our dog, Ella, absolutely loved it! Can't wait to go back. Thank you!!

A fun (and cozy) vacation!
Our first impression of Dry Cove Cottage was how beautiful and well-kept the grounds were. Inside the cottage was a very rustic feel, and a very spacious living area on the ground floor. The upstairs was a bit more cramped, in particular the two bedrooms. The Cottage was perfectly located for our group to go on a different day trip each day of our vacation--Bar Harbor one day, a Farmer's Market on Deer Isle another, and hiking along the coast? You can't beat it.
The positives by far overshadow the negatives, but a couple are worth mentioning. As mentioned above the bedrooms are small and lack closet/storage space, so be prepared to live out of your suitcase! Secondly, although the kitchen is perfectly serviceable, the kitchenware and utensils could probably stand updating.
We all had a fantastic week, but none so much as our dog who had the best week of her life. She loved running around the property off-leash and taking naps in the shady grass. Thanks for a wonderful vacation, and be sure to visit Nervous Nellie's Jams and Jellies on your trip!

Thank You for an awesome vacation!!! Hope to stay with you again for years to come. Enjoyed so much that considering moving upon retirement to area absolutely beautiful!

Wonderful private location!
Idyllic setting for people who love their privacy! Beautiful surroundings with a deck where the sun moves around and the chairs are light-enough weight to reposition anywhere! Clean, well-equipped cottage, efficient kitchen, and very nice owners who are exceptionally accommodating! Close to many good eating places in Deer Isle and Stonington and a haven for art and gallery lovers! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, especially our 90 lb golden/mix who didn't want to leave!

A great place to stay
Our first trip to Maine and I am sure not our last. The cottage was clean and comfortable. There were three of us so it worked perfectly. It was close to town yet far enough away for a private retreat. The owners were very helpful in answering our questions and offering suggestions. We had a great time visiting Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Baxter State Park and of course just exploring Deer Isle. The people we met were very nice and the restaurants amazing. We look forward to our next visit!

Nice place to rent and stay.
A group of us used this house to do some sea duck hunting for a week and had a great time. The owner was easy to get a hold of for questions and the place was very nice to stay in. We would stay here again!

Want secluded and private, this is for you!
This is the perfect getaway for anyone who loves their privacy. The house is so secluded you could make all the noise you want and no one would hear you. The sounds of the wildlife and breeze in the trees lull you into a relaxed frame of mind. It is centrally located which makes it very easy to get to Stonington, Deer Isle, Blue Hill and all the outlying areas. The house is very nice with an open floor plan and the kitchen comes equipped with everything necessary to cook if you so desire. The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning and it was so very difficult to leave, we had such a great time getting to know the locals who were GREAT! Lest I forget, one of the best parts was our doggie vacation, they were in dog heaven being able to run free and explore the woods. We took them to beaches where they could swim as well. When our pets are having a great time so are we!

This place has some issues!
First the good news, it's off the highway (you can still hear the traffic), lots of towels. Now the bad news. Everything in the place is second rate, yard sale type stuff from the furniture to the coffee pot which leaks all over the counter. Sadly there are no dish rags or sponges to clean with. There is no cutting board, no pot holders, and no lobster tools save some sad nut crackers. The cupboards, especially the bottom ones were scary and I washed everything before I used it. It looks like the home for misfit appliances including a lamp upstairs with a cut off cord. Come on, if it's broken throw it away, don't store it in your rental! We were allotted one roll of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels, I assume after that you buy your own? The upstairs bathroom sink is clogged and drains slowly, the shower has NO pressure and there were hairs in it when I got in the first time. The worst thing was the beds, the biggest is a double and it was so bad we slept on the twins...it was our honeymoon we weren't too pleased. We were also instructed to haul our own garbage but since we had a small car and no idea where to haul it to we left it. I think for the price they could haul it and add a roll or two of tp? We never saw or heard from the owners.

TOP NOTCH!
This was definitely worth the money! The house was beautiful, quiet, peaceful in such a wonderful setting! I was very impressed with the owners. He had the driveway plowed out the instant it stopped snowing! If I needed to get out, he came right down to help! Very personable owners! The wildlife was just incredible! I bought bird seed and the cardinals and blue jays were phenomenal. The deer seemed to even enjoy the bird seed. They visited every morning! They even seemed to get used to me, since I sat on porch in the morning! Everyone that raves about Stonington Maine lobster are right on key! I was eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Delicious!

Maine Duck Hunting Trip 2013
We arrived in the dark and had a little difficulty finding the exact location of the house, but a quick call to the owners helped us get right there. The house was set back in the woods and nicely secluded. The inside was welcoming with the open floor plan and knotty pine construction. We turned the heat on (propane) and it warmed right up. It kept us warm and dry the entire week of our stay and we were happy to have stayed there. There's even a rack to dry your wet clothes on. The linens were clean and provided as stated. The house could use a good cleaning as the floors were quite dirty, we swept them the first night and a few times while there. The pilot light in the oven needs repaired as it doesn't stay lit and has to be relit each time you want to use the oven, it also gives off a constant odor of propane. A frying pan or two would be a nice addition to the kitchen, luckily we had one to use on our boat for shore lunches that we took into the house. The ceiling fan needs fixed and a big hole in the wall where the door opens could use some lovin. The furniture is very comfortable as are the beds. Our hunting party got good nights of rest which were well deserved. Ran out of propane one day and Ricky had us a new tank in no time. Also really appreciate the allowance of well behaved pets, my chocolate lab Marley joined us for our hunting trip and had a great time as well, especially laying in front of the heater! Would definitely stay here again.

What Spectacular Surprise from my wife Kristi
We live in Northern Maine and we don't get much of a chance to get to the coast. My wife surprised me with a day trip to the coast for lobster and beautiful fall foliage for our 30th wedding anniversary. When we got to Deer Isle she pulled into a dirt driveway I didn't ask any questions at first. She had rented the most lovely cozy cottage. The rest was history. Thank you so much to my wife Kristi and dry cove cottages. Tom

The Perfect Retreat!!
Thank you for such a wonderful stay at your cottage it was very wonderful. Deer Isle was Panoramic and the lobsters were to die for, We ate them for 3 days straight. Much cheaper then New York by $5.00 lb. and fresh off the boat. We will Def be back for a longer stay next fall. Thank you so much Mary W.

Thank you for such a lovely stay at your cottage on such short notice especially with our dog. The views, Restaurants and people were incredible, We loved sitting out on the porch in the evening at the cottage. We actually had 3 deer come out while we were sitting there. I must say I have never seen so many stars. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. I Highly recommend Deer Isle.

This property is a very basic Maine camp located in a quiet area. On the plus side, the property has complete privacy and has a nice front lawn where we played horseshoes. The owner provides a plethora of local information for those not familiar with the area. Before arriving, we understood that there wouldn’t be amenities like a dishwasher, washer, dryer, ironing board or Internet service. However, we were surprised to find there isn't a single closet, hanger, or dresser in which clothes can be put away after unpacking, nor is there a luggage rack or table where a suitcase full of clothes can sit. There are no bedside tables with reading lamps in the bedrooms. While we were only a party of three, the property is advertised as sleeping 6 but no linens, pillow or towels were provided for the sixth person. Only a single bath and face towel were provided for each of five guests and there was no soap in the bathroom. There is no dining table and only 5 chairs for use with a breakfast bar that can seat 4. Be advised that our opinion is probably in the minority because there is a guest book at the property with many favorable comments from past guests. Several people commented favorably on the beds, which we found to be much too soft for our comfort. In short, if you are looking for basic accommodations for a group of five or fewer in Deer Isle, this property with its convenient location may be just the thing.

My husband and I have stayed in this cottage on Deer Isle several times, I originally found it while searching on line and it was absolutely perfect in many ways. I believe we originally stayed there in 2008, but have gone back almost every October since then, our last visit was just 2012.
The pictures are very accurate, its location and overall description were also accurate. The property is perfectly nestled, it was clean and very cozy, not to mention, any and all necessities are there for you.
The Owner, Ricky Spafford and girlfriend Rhonda were very nice and helpful in suggesting things to see and do, you will find many informational tools in the cottage as well. They truly made our stay a wonderful experience, we look forward to our return and will stay on Deer Isle every time.
