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.
