Relaxing Retreat

Jill was absolutely the best! Such an amazing host! She responded to our messages right away and was very accommodating when we left a cell phone after check out and had to go back to get it hours later. The place was perfect for what we were looking for and a nice quiet spot to relax after spending long days in Bar Harbor. We will definitely be looking to stay here again the next time we are passing through.

Clean/quiet Winter Harbor house.

Comfortable little place. Two nice bedrooms. Huge bathroom. Yes the kitchenette is small. But who’s cooking? Close to the ferry over to Bar Harbor. A couple of really nice places to eat, get provisions and relax. Go to here.

Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely spotless comfortable accommodations in Winter Harbor on Schoodic Peninsula. Minutes from mainland portion of Acadia. Mt Desert section about 1 1/2 hrs away. Spent time at both sections of park. Both beautiful but. My Desert very crowded. Schoodic section lovely and not crowded. So happy we stayed in Winter Harbor vs Bar Harbor.

Home away from Acadia

We loved our little home. So many thoughtful touches like the cooler, bag chairs and ice packs. The property was well decorated and clean. Chairs outside to watch the stars and eat our meals. We loved our time here.

Schoonic Point is magical!

The little town of Winter Harbor is a delightful, non commercial area of Arcadia. The town is surrounded by great hiking trails along the ocean, through the woods, some meandering up a small mountain, with incredible view of the ocean. There was a long well groomed bike path as well. We had dinner at a restaurant overlooking the lobster boats on the ocean, watched magnificent sunsets on Schoonic point, took a ferry ride to Bar Harbor, all of this just minutes away from this quiet, clean, cute house. One day we drove to Bar Harbor, hiked up Goat's Path, drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain! Every little drive you take opens up to breathtaking views! The house was great! extremely clean, eveything was freshly painted and cared for, shower had exceptional water pressure, kitchen was small, but had all the essentials, and there were all kinds of fun design elements that made the home feel like Maine. I would recommended staying here if you want a quieter experience in Arcadia!

Winter Harbor

Comfy cozy cabin - nicely decorated and furnished. The only drawback I would say is if you planned to do any cooking or in house eating, you would find the small kitchenette very limiting. No area to prepare or clean up. If you plan on eating out you will be very happy.
