House rental in Deer Isle - Stonington, Maine - Stonington Waterfront Treasured Family Home - Property 200785

You'll feel like an old friend on your 1st visit! : As every visitor to the Lobster Trap says, 'Wow, what a view!' The first floor of the house sits one story above street level and has a wide, wrap-around deck that always offers cool and refreshing breezes. If you can tear yourself away from the deck, you'll find an open, sunny living room and dining room, plus a cozy library with studio couch. The walls are graced with paintings collected through the years. The one bedroom on this level has two comfortable twin beds, with end tables and good reading lights for each. A full kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher, the bathroom with tub/shower, and a washer and dryer complete this space.

Second floor just remodeled! : The view and the living space only get better on the second floor, where our parents spent the summers from the time that they bought the house in 1970. This level comprises one large room extending the entire width of the house, with well equipped kitchen (they both loved to cook!) and attractively appointed dining and living areas, a brand-new deck, full bath with shower, and sunlight galore! Facing due south, you'll gasp at the glorious sunrises, sunsets, and moonrises from this vantage point. Two bedrooms are on this floor: a small one with brand new extra-long twin bed plus the computer desk, and the master bedroom, also with brand new bed, a king. All linens and colorful quilts are provided. A bathroom with shower is accessible from this bedroom as well as the kitchen.

Third floor Crow's Nest is charming!: And saving the best for last - if the extended family wants to join you on vacation, head upstairs! Two more bedrooms plus bath with shower await on the third floor, as well as the wonderful Crow's Nest, a large living room with an extra bed for you to lounge on. This is the spot to sit and read, paint, or enjoy an evening cocktail or a game of Trivial Pursuit. This floor has a queen, a double, and a single bed. With its south-facing exposure and many large windows, The Lobster Trap enjoys brilliant sunshine. But many guests find watching the fog banks creep in over the islands or a rip-roaring storm even more fascinating! No worries: we have central heat on the first and second floors, so you'll always be comfortable. Air conditioning is not needed on Stonington's waterfront. Just open the windows!
