Clean, spacious, nicely decorated, with a well stocked kitchen. Beautiful views of the ocean from the deck. Very peaceful location.
My family loved the location of the house. It’s in a beautiful area and have beautiful views of the water. Sunrise is especially beautiful. It’s in a peaceful town that quiet. Schoodic peninsula is very close and it’s absolutely beautiful. It was also easy to book a boat tour out of winter harbor, we loved the shops like the 5 and 10, and also the restaurants in the area were great! Everyone was so nice, my family loved it for our vacation. The home is very nice, beautiful kitchen, lovely views, nice deck out back. I so glad we booked here and decided to drive into bar harbor and Acadia a few days to avoid the crowds while at home it was very peaceful and beautiful.
We had a wonderful time - the house was very clean and we enjoyed the ocean front and burning the fire pit next to the water

The location was great! The views from the many decks of the water were breathtaking. The sunrises were spectacular, we had everything we needed as far as the house goes. The fire pit was nice. First time in Maine. Would be hard to beat this property
The house was terrific. The ocean views were outstanding, and the space was perfect. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. We couldn't have asked for a better stay, and would definitely rent the house again!
As advertised, fantastic location - dramatic harbor views, quiet, perfect for four adults.

Nice cottage in tranquil setting made this an ideal getaway. The kitchen was well-stocked with necessary settings and utensils. I enjoyed both the library room and the outside decks. The drive to Acadia NP (main area) and Bar Harbor was not right around the corner but were easy rides through the countryside.
Perfect spot for our family of four. The property had everything we needed for a relaxing week away. We made the trip to Bar Harbor to shop and hike Acadia trails. There were also a few amazing restaurants just a quick drive away (highly recommend The Treehouse Seaside Grill in Winter Harbor). After a day of exploring we took advantage of the many board game available then were lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of ocean waves.
Beautiful setting, house is roomy and clean, such fabulous views! I fell asleep and woke up to the sound of waves, my favorite! The property is a bit off the beaten path but everything is easy to get to as long as you don’t mind driving a bit. The property manager was super responsive! Overall great stay, thank you!
Overall, our stay was good. Weather did not cooperate. Property was nice. The upstairs master bedroom could use a king size bed instead of a fold up bed. The basement bedroom and porch need work. There should be actual heat, not a space heater. Very musty smelling in the basement.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! I do not believe the pictures do it justice!
As a sidenote, everyone fell in love with the shower on the main floor! We had to fight over who got to take a shower there. The water pressure was amazing.
The location was a little away from Bar Harbor and the main Acadia national Park, but that’s what we strive for. There was no traffic going to the park, but it was a solid 45 to 50 minute drive.
We do plan on returning!
Visited in late June with our family and absolutely loved our stay. The property is beautiful and quiet - we loved having the windows open all night and enjoying the fresh air and sounds of the ocean. All bedrooms and bathrooms were well appointed, clean, and comfortable! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and we made use with big family dinners on the patio. Loved the grill + fire pit as well. The surrounding area is very quiet - but we took a quick + easy hour drive to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia a few times as well. Schoodic Point is minutes away. The host was very communicative. All around we highly recommend! Bring a book, some games, and prepare to relax in a beautiful setting.
Overall enjoyed our stay here and the views are amazing. It is not at all near a “touristy” area so be prepared to drive for sites and Bar Harbor/Acadia access. The house is older and definitely in need of some maintenance and repair around doors and windows. We were disappointed there was no direct beach access too. Also there is no king bed as stated in the description, only three queens. The tap water and ice taste terrible so bring bottled water! This would be a perfect place for a quiet vacation and visit to Maine and we did find some good local restaurants that were cute with great food and service,
Absolutely beautiful and well-equipped property. Plenty of dishes and utensils; super laundry facilities. It's a remote and unspoiled location, but you can't beat the ocean view and sound of waves all night and day. Property manager was prompt when we reported an empty propane tank.
What a beautiful special place, away from all the crowds! We spent most all of our time there on the Schoodic side of Acadia and enjoying the property in the backyard. The magical sound of the waves crashing against the smooth rocks was ethereal. Would come back 1,000 times.
Awesome stay. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, great views from the many windows. Saw deer grazing nearby and I got beautiful sunrise photos from the nearby lighthouse. Communication, check in and check out process were flawless. I highly recommend this property.
Beautiful Home, could use some ceiling fans to be more comfortable. The Home does not have air-conditioning so plan your trip accordingly. To get down to the water, you must climb down a small cliff… The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed, but the third base ment bedroom was extremely musty, but at least cool since it was a heat wave when we stayed. A little noisy also, with having to keep the dehumidifier running right near the bed.
