Beautiful, peaceful honeymoon stay
My wife and I stayed at Cove Meadow for our honeymoon in late June 2018. The meadow and the cove were breathtakingly beautiful, and the property was peaceful. We particularly enjoyed the lupine flowers. At night fireflies lit up the tops of the meadow.
Lindsay was a fantastic host. The cottage was lovely and well-appointed, with everything we needed at hand. When we walked in there were fresh flowers decorating the cottage and giving off lovely scents.
This is a great location. Just a quick drive over to Stonington and very close to many beautiful walking trails. Kayaking in the morning was particularly serene and lovely.
I highly recommend a stay at Cove Meadow Cottage!
Thank you, Lindsay!
very private and comfortable.
Enjoyed a very quiet and restful stay. The unit was cozy, and comfortable.
Amazing to be able to have use of two kayaks and a canoe.
Thank you for a wonderful place to call home for a few days.
What a peaceful place to unwind.
The cabin is a great place to relax and watch the changing tides and colors of the cove. Everything is neat and clean. Having our own herb garden and apple tree plus clams to dig were a bonus. Our hostess is a remarkable and friendly lady. It was hard to leave and we plan to return!
Beautiful, gracious, & well appointed cottage..
The cottage is welcoming, warm and very easy to spend time in should the weather outside be unwelcoming. The site is beautiful and provides great access to not only to its own amenities, but to nearby nature preserves, galleries, eateries, the ocean, and other Penobscot destinations. Lindsay is a gracious hostess who makes sure your questions are answered, yet allows you privacy in your stay. Highly recommend Cove Meadow cottage.
WOW - What a stay! Why go anywhere else!
We just got back form our stay & can't say enough of how we loved it! Great experience from 1st to last (initial contact to leaving). Lindsay is very attentive to details & very respectful of her guests! Loved how the cottage was set up when we arrived, music & lights on. Kayaks were great! We never left the island! Barred Island is a MUST as is the Stonington Lobster pound - there is a cooking pot at the point! Wish we had got a clam license. HIGHLY recommended! VERY peaceful & relaxing.
Great Place to stay in Stonington ME
What a wonderful place to stay on my favorite spot on the Maine coast. The cottage was lovely and well equipped (we even had our own herb garden). Beautiful quiet cove with abundant wild life. Lovely outdoor areas for sitting and enjoying nature. Short drive to town. Even a few rainy days couldn't ruin our experience. Will definitely return.
