This cottage is spectacular! It is so well appointed with the furniture and artwork. The beds are very comfortable and the house is so incredibly clean. The proximity to local shops and Acadia park are great. We rode to the park several times. The hosts are very responsive too. We had a great time and will be coming back!

This property was amazing! Great location - walking distance to a variety of shops and restaurants. The ferry was less than a mile away. The hosts were great and have a propane fire pit and bbq in the back yard. Perfect for our small group gathering. Everything we were looking for and more!

The home was beautiful and comfortable - just like the pictures! Perfectly situated to travel north to the tip of Maine or south to Belfast, all within an hour and a half. The town is nice and quiet, with good restaurants and a coffee shop. We enjoyed the local bar/hangout Musquito Harbor, and watching the tide go in and out. Close to the busy side of Acadia National park - just under an hour drive to Bar Harbor area. Closer still to the quiet side just down the road. We enjoyed everything about this home, its location and owner. Stephen was gracious and helpful in every way. The information on the home and area was the most informative we have seen, Thank you Stephen!

I have rented my fare share of places and this home was by far the cleanest space I have ever stayed in. Absolutely adorable home, in a sleepy town that provided us with a much needed escape from the madness of Bar Harbor after our hikes around Acadia. No surprises were had as the Host provided a very well detailed manual before our arrival. Would absolutely choose to stay again if we find ourselves exploring this region in the future. Thank you :)

This place is a GEM!! Everything was so thoughtfully done- these hosts are simply amazing. They have thought of everything. We felt like we were being hosted by close friends- it all felt so personal and welcoming. We stayed here as our home base for Acadia and would highly recommend it. We were a bit concerned that it was further away from the Desert Island side of Acadia but that was WORTH IT!! Not so far away at all and the Schoodic side is so charming and more relaxed feeling. Winter Harbor has been a delight. We are so grateful for this charming spot. Our family of five fit perfectly and the kids decided they never wanted to leave (teens!) and I feel the same. 10/10, 5 stars, would highly recommend, all other rentals are ruined. :)

Incredible July Vacation

The house was great. Wonderfully kept older home. Very clean and everything was perfect. We really enjoyed the charming town of Winter Harbor. We experienced several of the local restaurants and thought they were all good. Perfect place to stay if you want to relax and enjoy the quiet.

This is such a lovely place. I was very impressed with all the amenities. The beds were comfy, and every window has shades! We really enjoyed our stay. The location of Winter Harbor's main street is so unique. There is a coffee shop a few doors down and there are many good restaurants nearby, There's even a store within walking distance. The beauty of Acadia needs to be seen to be believed. The Schoodic Peninsula is my favorite part. It is a very short drive from this wonderful cottage.

Beautiful house with everything you could need for a lovely, relaxing respite. Winter harbor was a great town to walk and bike. Very quiet with close access to the schoodic peninsula portion of Acadia. Air conditioning much appreciated and needed during our stay

Great Stay

We were a group of 5 adults and two kids. This was one of our favorite properties we have stayed in. Everything was clean and well organized. There was everything you could need as far as condiments, seasonings, coffee pods, tea, and the list goes on. Great location for a short walk to the store and to food. We truly enjoyed our stay here!
