Desert Island has to offer via the Island Explorer bus system. A small grocery store is a short 5 minute walk. A 10 minute walk to several restaurants, the local 5 & 10, several art galleries, coffee shop, and bakery.

Or stay at home, cooking up a seafood feast in our fully equipped kitchen, playing board games, or cozied up reading a good book.

Perfect location!

We loved the location! The house was clean and perfect for our group of 4 adults. It’s beautifully situated on the water and very close to the Schoodic part of Acadia.

Peaceful and Scenic

An amazing cottage for the two of us, in our seventies, on the coast of Maine. The views of the ocean, so very close, were just lovely. Sunrise, sunset, the punctual rise and fall of the tides. It was so quiet and peaceful there. We loved watching the bird activities. Schoodic Peninsula is nearby and the wave breaks there are thrilling to see. Easy drive to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Tidal falls, and really great seafood restaurants. We would definitely like to return and would recommend this location to others.

Henry cove

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mona’s property. The surrounding area is beautiful and we enjoyed taking day trips. We had to communicate with the owner and she replied immediately. If we return to the area we will definitely see if this property is available.

Gem in Winter Harbor

So glad we stayed here! Excellent communication with host. We played games at the kitchen table over looking the bay and watched the sunset from the chairs in back yard. The view was beautiful! We liked having 1 1/2 baths to get us out the door quickly, the washer/dryer, as well as a stocked kitchen for making dinner after days out exploring. We found Winter Harbor a perfect location for a long day trip to Mount Desert and Bar Harbor. The Schoodic Peninsula was our favorite side of Acadia and 10 minutes from this place. Winter Harbor had nice places to eat, very friendly residents in town. Close to Corea fishing village for catching lobster on boat tour. Hope to stay here again when in the area.

Ideal Location …peaceful aura

This sweet cottage is literally a few feet from the high tide water and a short walk to restaurants and the town market. Although the kitchen was well appointed for cooking…we elected to take the 5 minute walk to the Treehouse Seaside Grill both nights…very good! A walk up Schoodic Head, a bike ride around Schoodic loop road and a scenic trip around Grindstone Neck rounded out the day we had in Winter Harbor. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Ramona L'Heureux

Host profile image
I split my time between the White Mountains of NH and at the ocean of Down-east Maine. I like to bike, ski, swim, and kayak. I play the oboe in the Community Orchestra and the soprano sax in a local jazz band.

Why they chose this property

Winter Harbor is beautiful and quiet but has all the amenities like a grocery store, restaurants, and shops. Easy access to water for kayaking. Many hiking and biking trails as well

What makes this property unique

This house is about 10 feet from the water's edge so it appears like you are on a boat. Fun to watch seabirds and tide come and go. Especially out "front" in the Adirondack chairs. Cozy and comfortable. A family home.
