We enjoyed the stay.

If you enjoy ocean and peacefulness, this is your spot!

Hosts were very accommodating.

This was our 3rd visit to Carolyn and David's cottage. As soon as we turned onto W. Spruce Harbor Rd we could feel life's stresses melt away. This visit was as wonderful as our previous stays, thanks to Carolyn and David's hospitality. We wanted for nothing - except maybe some sunshine but even with the rainy, foggy days we made the most of it - visiting places we were saving for rainy days that hadn't come in the past. On the one day of sun we accomplished a long held bucket list item - kayaking to Isle au Haut! The islands in between are magical - like we imagine the Caribbean to be like. Thank you Carolyn, David, and sweet Daisy for having us back. We look forward to returning next year!

Perfect remote location for a Maine camp getaway with water access and views overlooking islands to the South. The property a variety of settings to enjoy - porch, lawn, woodland trail, cove, rocky beach, the cottage was well equipped for all activities. David and Carolyn made themselves available should we need anything, but everything was perfect. Hope to return next year!

David and Carolyn are nice people and we love Daisy! The house is wonderfully stocked. Stonington is “down east” Maine. Frankly, the best review is we came back and loved it!

Secluded with a small private cove yet very close to great lobster and fantastic hiking. Beat our expectations on every level! Just a bit more than an hour to Acadia NP loop. Will definitely bring kayaks next time.

In past years, my late wife and I, and guests, spent many happy days at the Friedells' cottage. This was a comforting return after a two-year lapse, and I plan to stay there again next June. As always, the Friedells were kindly and accommodating hosts. Jim Boylan

The Friedells, who live on the property, are friendly, gracious & are VERY attentive, yet without a hint of intrusiveness. (I would have enjoyed chatting more than we did!) It's a quiet, private, lovely setting. Easy access to water for kayaking. The cottage is well-supplied, with every need anticipated, and the fixtures & appliances are all modern & in good working order. Really comfortable. I'm sure if one DID need something special they would do their best to help out. They were very kind at checkout~I wasn't feeling well~and allowed me some extra time to get packed out, without making me feel rushed. I can't wait to return. Thank You!

We’re so appreciative of David and Carolyn’s hospitality. We enjoyed every moment of our stay - from kayaking and hiking to eating great food and watching harbor sunsets. We can’t wait to return!

Lovely cottage on a superior property with access to magnificent shoreline. It doesnt get any better than this. David & Caroline couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. A perfect stay, and we cant wait to return!

David and Carolyn are wonderful people. Their properties are high quality, well decorated, beautifully furnished. Great Stay.

This property was perfect for us especially after our 2500 mile drive from New Mexico: in the woods, quiet, private, lots of places to walk, an ocean view, a well-stocked kitchen, and lots of artistic touches. The hosts, David and Carolyn, put lots of work and love into the property. We wanted to stay longer. We hope to come back in the future. Thank you to our hosts for creating this lovely vacation property.

Beautiful spot on the coast of Maine, private beach area and hiking nearby. House was perfect, clean, very comfortable bed and fully stocked kitchen. Loved waking up and seeing to ocean. Owners are fabulous!

We really enjoyed our stay at Pine Hill cottage. The house was clean and comfortable and the property was beautiful and peaceful. Our favorite was the little beach where we got to experience the many moods of Maine weather, it was awesome. We hope to visit again someday!

The location of this cabin is perfect - coastal view, easy hikes, secluded getaway! We hope to visit again, this was the perfect spot to experience the beauty of Maine's coast. Hosts and cabin were wonderful.

My husband, our dog and I just returned from this lovely cottage. We loved it so much we asked to stay longer but it was already booked. David and Carolyn were the most gracious host. The cabin was clean, well stocked with an extremely comfortable bed that made me want to sleep in each day. The house is in the woods but close to town so it is the best of both worlds. We sat on the deck in late afternoon and relaxed looking at nature. We walked down to the bay at the bottom of the property with its stunning views. In the evening you can hear the sounds of nature. We could have stayed there all summer. Thank you David and Carolyn for sharing your little slice of heaven.

As we proceeded down the road to Pinehill Cottage we could feel our stress melt away. We were greeted by David and Carolyn who were both so warm and cordial. It was nice to know they were a stone's throw away. We loved everything about the cottage, inside and out. Truly appreciated the binder they put together with all the things to do in the area. We loved exploring the woods, the shore path, Orange Squeeze, the beach... We are avid kayakers and paddled every day to different islands - our favorite Maine paddling by far! Such a peaceful place - highly recommend Pinehill and hope to visit again in the future. Thank you David and Carolyn for being the ultimate hosts.

This sweet cottage in the woods is a perfect escape from the rest of the world. The mile long private road through a pine forest transports you to this peaceful place. Views of the sloping lawn, cove, and glimpses of the top of Isle Haut greet you from the deck. Carolyn and David are lovely hosts, who ensured that I had what was needed, including finding a charger for my electric car. With Stonington a few minutes away, each morning began with a delicious cup of coffee at 44North!

We loved our stay in Stonington and at the Pinehill cabin! David and Carolyn are excellent hosts, we had everything we needed. We will be back!

The cottage is, I think, prettier than the photos. We met both David and Carolyn who are delightful and helpful. What I love about Stonington is that a "crowd" is 15 or 20 people. At the cottage, the only noise we heard were lobster boats going in and out of the harbor, birds and squirrels. The mile-long drive through a Spruce forest ensured a very quiet stay which we were seeking.

My daughter and I turn 30 & 60 this year and we celebrated with my sister and niece at this quaint cottage near Stonington Maine. We had a wonderful time seeing the local sites and hiking. The cottage is well equipped for 4 adults - was even better than the pictures - Clean and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and kind. They were readily available if needed. We had a great time and would love to come back!

It was a wonderful experience. The accommodations were outstanding and chance to see the sunrise over the ocean was inspirational. David and Carolyn were welcoming and extremely easy with whom to work.

Everything was so easy and wonderful.

Cozy cottage in a most beautiful spot - owners have done a lovely job with everything making guests feel welcome and at home - highly recommend this to all !

Neat upscale cabin, comfortable and secluded. Driveway almost a mile long but that added to the secluded feel in a good way. Loved our stay there. Love Deer Isle , anyway. For the price, it was nice and close enough to make a short walk to the water. Other properties on or closer to the water were considerably less affordable.

This is our second time staying here and it’s perfect for us. The house is well equipped and the access to the water is ideal. We love the peace and quiet of Stonington and Deer Isle and wish we could stay longer.

We loved, sure will be back, beautiful scenary and the house is perfect. highly recommended

Very nice

Wonderful owners. Beautiful, secluded location. Highly recommend.

I loved this place so much that I reserved another week next year. This time I will bring my son who use to live in Maine. Kitchen was amazing. Thanks David.

I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable place to stay...3 days much too short. Thank you, Carolyn & David for arranging perfect weather :)
