No safe for people
This property is unfit for people to stay in. There is mold throughout the house. Structurally speaking, the front porch is collapsing. If you sit on any floors, you will see it’s covered in dog hair. Also the washer was filled with black dog hair. My family left two days early because of these conditions and when we nicely emailed the manager about these issues,they never responded.

Family vacay- Maine
Very neat old house! Enjoyed our stay! The island was beautiful and the setting in the house was amazing. Only had a couple minor issues- that didn’t affect our stay! Enjoyed the 4th of July activities as well! A couple of the bath towels smelled sour before use- like they were left in the washer too long- and the washer didn’t work well. The coffee maker didn’t work, we told the owner- used the French Press- no other maker was available. Due to the rain for the first 3 days and prior to our arrival- the house felt damp- could have used AC or at least a dehumidifier to make it more comfortable. We found at least 3 deer ticks on us throughout the week- but that’s a wooded area’s problem!

Historic Maine House in the Heart of Deer Isle Village
"Pickering House" is a charming, comfortable home in a fabulous location. The house and yard is spacious - with 2 living rooms and a separate family room, a big, very well-equipped kitchen (with seating around a huge island), a fantastic front porch, a back patio with cushioned chairs and picnic tables and Adirondack chairs scattered under shady trees in a garden with fruit trees. It well accommodated our big group of 8 adults and three dogs. Although technically not waterfront, we had a view of a cove across the street and we really enjoyed sitting on the front porch reading and playing games (although the traffic on the street sometimes got a little loud). We walked less than 5 minutes to beautiful Lily Pond, a town park with clean, warm water. Just a 5 minute walk in the other direction is a terrific coffee shop, a yoga studio, several shops, an antique store, a hotel with a bar and restaurant open on weekends, a library and post office. You really do not have to go anywhere else but within a ten-minute drive you can be in Stonington with lots of ways to eat lobster, kayak, boat rides, the Opera House, farmers market and more. The house is furnished with many antiques and, while not pristine, it was clean and comfortable. Annie, the host, was genuinely interested in making sure we had what we needed to make our stay enjoyable. When we could not get a blender to work, she rushed over with another. We had a great vacation and would happily return.

A wonderful house and location
The house has tons of character, and old New England farm-house feel, complete with original decor. Yet, it is comfortable. Spacious, a well-outfitted kitchen, and the beds are splendid. Great location with Lilly pond a short walk the backyard, and Little Deer Isle in the front. We had a great time

Our Time in Maine
A once beautiful historic home with a large front porch is literally falling apart. A walk around the outside of the house reveals rotting trim and cellar door, shingles on the ground and a roof in extreme need of repair. Once inside, the house appears charming, however, it was immediately clear that the house was in need of a thorough cleaning. Dust and cobwebs were abundant. The coffee pot had to be cleaned two times with vinegar before use. All dishes and cookware had to be washed. The gas to the stove was not turned on. Due to temperatures in the 40’s, we asked that the furnace be turned on to take off the chill. The propane stove in the library was also listed as an alternative heat source. The owner did not know how to turn it on. The owner stated that no one had requested to use the stove or furnace in her 10 years of ownership. We had someone get trapped in a bathroom due to a faulty doorknob. Luckily, we had a handy person with us who was able to rescue her. In spite of these issues, we enjoyed evenings on the porch and our time in Maine. The people, the food and the scenery were wonderful.

Great house in a lovely location. Deer Isle is quiet, but quintissentially Maine.
What you see is what you get. There were seven of us and there were great spaces to be together as well as be apart. Swimming at Lily Pond was really nice. Trails on the island are great, Stonington is nearby and Bar Harbor is not too long a drive for a little more action.

The Pickering House
Deer Isle is the name of both the island and the town. Pickering House is located on busy Route 15, but the house is well set back from the road. What a site to see upon arrival-a big, elegant White House surrounded by beautiful White hydrangeas. One can walk to the village, but there are no sidewalks. loving care has kept this gem of a home ready to welcome guests. The house is loaded with period antiques including an organ (in the library) and a baby grand piano (formal living room). A Jotoul stove is in the library and is welcomed to take the chill away. A huge kitchen with Aga stove and a second summer stove. Don’t forget to pack a corkscrew to enjoy A glass of wine while sitting in the sunlit formal living room while listening to the baby grand piano. Deer Isle is a great place to explore via hiking trails to Barred Island Preserve where one can walk across sandbar at low tide. Don’t miss Sand Beach and its views of islands and mountains. Great spot for kayaking. The weather in September can be brisk or warm and sunny. Note many of the restaurants have limited hours. Call ahead for reservations
