Three Night Stay for up to 8 adults on North Dumpling Island - Dean Kamen's Private Island!

Here is your chance to have an entire island all to yourself, where you can truly relax with the sound of waves lapping at the shores all around you. This private two-acre island is located of the coast of Groton, CT. Dean refers to it as "North Dumpling Republic" and jokingly refers to it as its own independent nation and as the "world's first LED nation". That claim is due to the entire island being "off the grid" having LED lighting that is powered by a wind generator and solar panels. His green power system even provides enough electricity to illuminate his Stonehenge replica, and the lighthouse.

The mansard style main home features all the comforts expected and provides spectacular ocean views from every window. Imagine having your morning coffee or afternoon beverage on the wrap around deck! Approachable only by sea or air, you will be shuttled to and from the island... Make this an unforgettable weekend... This is a once in a lifetime opportunity not to be passed on?

The island is equipped with kayaks, sunfish sailboats, stand up paddle boards, and fishing gear. Spend time on the beach or enjoy views of tall ships in the harbor. The accommodations include fire places and pool table. Includes transportation from Mystic Connecticut to the Island. No children.
