Deer Island Retreat
It's a lovely home and comfortable,perfect for a Maine vacation. As with most older homes with older furnishings there is always extra mantenance needed over the years (having grown up in a house in Uk that was Elizabethan at one end and Georgian at the other I can attest to that!)
A suggestion would be to address the dust on the drapes, especially upstairs, and most importantly the dust collection on the window blinds, especially at their lower edges. In addition we had problems with having them roll/springback up, even with the new one, which would not do so.. Dust collection in the corners of rooms probably could do with a stronger fuzz buster. Bathrooms seemed very well cleaned as was the kitchen.
At some point soon, it might be time to retire the house towels supplied.They have almost entirely lost any kind of absorbency for drying! The toilet seats in several bathrooms needed securing which we could have done, except we could not find a large enough bladed screw driver . A temporary adjustment was completed with a table knife!
Needless to say, none of this detracted from a highly enjoyable stay. Loved the pond/lake behind the house and the woodland walk close by off King Street as well as the charming village of Stonington and all the great restaurants.e had a great day out on the water with charlie's "Bug-a-Boo" boat. One suggestion would be to have a visitor's book or a site with testimonials so we could comment on some of the great finds. Thanks
