The Boathouse: cozy cottage at harbor's edge - walk to downtown Stonington

Relax cove side in this adorable and cozy cottage with close up views of Stonington Harbor, distant islands, and the active harbor vista of lobster boats, schooners and kayakers just outside your windows. The cottage interior offers a light-filled, open plan with beamed cathedral ceilings giving the room more of a spacious feel. The simple yet well equipped kitchen opens to the living/dining area. The bedroom (queen bed) is off the living room (additional LR queen sleeper sofa, too). The small bathroom has a walk in shower. The cottage is water facing on two sides, with a small grassy yard, garden and a stone patio perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning and watching the sun set over the harbor. With the harbor and array of nearby islands to explore, Stonington offers exceptional kayaking and boating of all kinds.

Note: While there is an added sleeper sofa to accommodate a party of 4, the more open design of the cottage works best for 2. As there are steps leading to the cottage, it is not ideal for those with physical limitations. The proximity to the ocean and seawall also makes it unsuitable for toddlers or young children.

Charming Harbor-Side Haven in Stonington

We recently stayed at this delightful one-bedroom cottage, nestled on the cove side of Stonington Harbor—and it turned out to be truly special. Perfectly sized for two guests (or up to four with the sleeper sofa), the layout is bright and functional. The living room flows seamlessly into the well-equipped kitchen, making it ideal for relaxing evenings or preparing a meal.You’ll love watching lobster boats and kayakers glide by from your window, and the pet-friendly policy is a major bonus for those traveling with furry companions. If you’re seeking a light-filled coastal retreat with peaceful harbor views and a walkable downtown location, this cottage is a gem—perfect for couples, pet owners, or anyone looking to unplug in a scenic, charming setting. It’s a wonderful blend of comfort, convenience, and character.

Cannot say enough good things about this cottage. The friendly owners greeted us and made sure we were comfortable while we settled in. We were able to check in early, meaning we could enjoy the day. The cottage is well appointed with everything you need and decorated adorably. We enjoyed so much sitting on the deck and enjoying the cool breezes, while we watched the sea and all the working lobster boats. There was a bit of noise from a close restaurant as they prepped to grunge music. No fault of the owners and restaurant serves delicious food. We were walking distance to everything in town, including the ferry dock to Isle a Haut. Check in And out were a breeze. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

The Boathouse sits on a pier overlooking harbor where the lobsters boats anchor. Stonington is a quiet friendly low key beautiful area to stay. A few good restaurants in walking distance. Go kayaking, hiking, boat /ferry tour or just chill overlooking harbor. Nicole the host is wonderful and available whenever we had a question. Etc.
