About this cottage rental
Beautifully Maintained Mid-Century Contemporary on Crockett Cove. Muir`s Cove Cottage (formerly known as Cove View Cottage) is a mid-century, contemporary home designed and built by revered architect Emily Muir. Enjoy a lovely private location nestled just above Crockett Cove’s high tide mark, a sweet deck on which to enjoy afternoon breezes and the rising and dropping tide as well as so much more in this treasured family retreat.
Muir’s Cove Cottage has three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. The cottage has a split level design with a wall of windows on the water side inviting in the views of Crockett Cove. Upon entrance you can step up to the kitchen, living, dining area which are all open to one another or go down toward the bedrooms and sleeping quarters.
We will start the description, by stepping up to the main floor of the cottage. Muir`s Cove Cottage is nicely decorated with recent furniture updates and many accents that make the room feel comfortable and casual. Muir’s Cove Cottage enjoys a fireplace which is available for guests to use and lovely views of the cove from a wall of windows on the opposing wall. There is a table with seating for six as well as three stools at the snack bar to make dining for nine available in one warm and inviting area. The kitchen is nicely stocked so guests can prepare most any meal and has a dishwasher for those that refuse to do dishes on vacation.
The main floor at Muir’s Cove Cottage also has one bedroom with a convertible king trundle and a desk for those that might have some work items to tend to while also enjoying their Stonington vacation. This room does have an ensuite half bathroom as well as a loft with a full mattress, ideal for the older kids and teens that might make travels to the cottage.
The entry level at Muir’s Cove Cottage holds the door to the full bathroom that has a shower / tub combo, a vanity and linen storage. There is also a coat closet for easy storage of rain and swim gear in the entry hall. The ground floor of Muir’s Cove Cottage has two additional bedrooms. The first bedroom has two twin beds, a television with streaming capabilities and a nice closet. The second bedroom has a queen bed, a closet and a couch for easy lounging with a book. The bedrooms both have sliding glass doors hence direct access to the outdoors.
Muir`s Cove Cottage does enjoy some great tidal ocean frontage. Take a short stroll on a well beaten path to get to the water. From the banks of the cove guests can easily launch their kayaks, paddle boards or canoes and set off for an ocean adventure. Brave souls might enjoy lovely cove swims at high tide from this access point. The benefits of the water access can be bountiful and are for sure to be a popular offering when vacationing at this cherished destination.
Muir’s Cove Cottage is a lovingly maintained home in a gorgeous, private setting. Come and enjoy the salt air, calm cove waters and wonderful amenities of this special accommodation in Deer Isle. Inquire to book

Perched in the woods above Crockett's Cove, with fine views across the water, Muir's Cove Cottage is well-designed and well-equipped. We felt right at home from the moment of arrival. The bedrooms are tidy, with good linens; the kitchen, though of a size to avoid the problem of "too many cooks" is well-equipped, enabling us to cook anything we wished (baked a birthday cake!) Living room was very comfortable, the perfect place for curling up with a book, and the adjacent dining area accommodated a dinner party for 7, and did double duty as a place to finish a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle. Porch overlooking the water was a great place for a morning coffee, a bite of lunch, or an afternoon reading session on one of the chaises longues. There was really nothing that we lacked while we were there. Marvelous library of books in multiple languages attest to the intelligence and taste of the owners, which imbues the property (among the surrounding trees, a well-placed hammock as well as an Adirondack chair turned in the direction of the sunset....)
It's helpful that there's a dishwasher to keep things tidy. That there is no washer/dryer is understandable, so we planned and packed accordingly.
The cottage's location makes it easy to reach all that the area has to offer. An informative notebook in the cottage explained proper procedures for the property (e.g. accessing very reliable hi-speed internet, which allowed those with occasional work obligations to keep up with them) and offered guidance to local attractions, restaurants and events.
We kayaked, we hiked, we glimpsed a bald-eagle, and dolphins. We 'chilled' and achieved 'full vacation'. Proof of the success of this visit came, a few days after we settled in, when one of my sons asked whether there was a chance we could rent the cottage again next year. Further proof: when one of our visitors had to leave, she called it "a magical place." It is a spot that one doesn't want to leave, and in lieu of that, a place one hopes to revisit. Yes, it's a cliché, but—this is truly a cozy cottage.
