About this house rental
Sleeps 1-6 guests, inquire before booking as rates listed are for one to four guests. Three night minimum. IF booking more than 10 nights the cleaning fee will be adjusted according to number of nights. Inquire before booking. FYI: One hour drive to Bar Harbor/Mt. Desert Island Order Lobster nearby, pick up hot and ready to eat as well as other great seafood options. **NO Storm Damage from the horrific storms in January 2024. Secluded, high on a knoll, our home offers majestic treetop views of the sunrise over Pigeon Hill Bay and Petit Manan Lighthouse. The full kitchen offers everything required to prepare meals. A small breakfast bar with two stools allows an easy place to oversee the family chef in action; just off from the breakfast bar is the dining area with four seats and a great view of the bay. The cottage offers two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and a spacious living room divided by a perfect nesting place to enjoy a good book or simply relax while glancing at the bay. The living room offers new furniture for your comfort. The house also boasts an enclosed front porch with rocking chairs. It’s perfect for that morning coffee with peaceful, breathtaking views of the bay, the lighthouse and an array of birds including eagles, seagulls, hawks and sea ducks. Outside has a fire pit with plenty of firewood and chairs to sit around and enjoy. Outdoor games, too!. "Chipman's Wharf" offers haddock, steamer clams, fresh picked lobster meat and much more. Purchase cooked lobsters and keep hot in your own cooler until dinner time! They are located in the neighboring town of Milbridge. Plan the day with a hike! Our cottage is centrally located for a great Two-Fer; we have Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge to the right, and Pigeon Hill Preserve to the left! Both easily within walking distance or they each have a parking area if you prefer to drive (short two minute drive). The two trails are great for easy walking or hiking. The wildlife refuge is a great place for bird watching; it is not uncommon to have the place to yourself, and in August there are low bush blueberries for picking. Take a day trip to explore one of the nation's most beloved parks, Acadia National Park. Acadia National Park on Mt. Desert Island is approximately an hour drive from Wind Rose Cottage. Acadia at Schoodic Peninsula is a shorter drive, approximately 40 minutes. Both offer hiking trails through the forest or rocky shorelines. Bar Harbor hosts many restaurants and shops; a great place to spend the day. Our quaint, coastal village at Pigeon Hill is the perfect place to relax and avoid the everyday rush. Please inquire; we look forward to hearing from you. PS, Bring your bicycles!!!! Great for exploring Petit Manan Point and our little village along the bay.

This comfy, spotlessly clean cottage is tucked away on a quiet street directly across from the water. We were able to explore so much: Millbridge, Ellsworth, Hancock, Trenton, Bar Harbor, Acadia (both at Bar Harbor & Schoodic), and lots of unincorporated area. I cannot say enough about how nice this cottage is. Additionally, the host, Wanda, was very helpful and a joy to work with. She even made sure to check in on us when a storm blew through and knocked out the power, which lasted appx. 8 hrs. We will definitely be back on our next Maine trip!

The host was delightful. Very communicative and helpful. The welcome book provided a lot of helpful information. While it is a way from Bar Harbor, it provided a great launching point to go to Bar Harbor or to explore farther along the coast.

We thoroughly enjoyed this house on Pigeon Hill Bay. The house is managed very well and while the rules were extensive, they were pretty much what we would do anyway. We typically leave a house cleaner than we found it but would be hard pressed to do so in this case. Great tips about local places and fun local hikes and food options nearby made for a terrific stay. Thanks!!

Very clean, beautiful setting. Close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor area for day trips, nice to come back and enjoy quietness and sitting around fire pit in the evening.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this comfortable cottage across from Pigeon Hill Bay. The view is lovely and the location is great- between two different nature spots that we enjoyed visiting. The house is well-furnished and very well cared for. Totally recommend!

Windrose Cottage was even nicer than described, and sparkling clean. We appreciated extremely prompt responses from the property manager, and spotted distant porpoises using the provided binoculars. The Acadia Puffin tour was a highlight, as were two well-marked hiking areas nearby. The small working lobster town of Milbridge hosts some great seafood takeout places.

House is super clean with nice views of the bay. The kids enjoyed exploring the rocky beach and watching deer eat from the crab apple tree out front.

We had a great visit and loved the coastal and local feel of the property. The major attractions in the area (Bar Harbor, Acadia, etc.) were about an hour away. Only things we felt were a bit excessive were all the rules and demands for housekeeping. We kept the place tidy and left it as we received it. But if we were charged a cleaning fee why should we have to do all the cleaning before we left? We’re on a vacation, and it should feel that way. Thanks, Cheryl

Just a wonderful property and a wonderful location. The house was immaculate and everything was in perfect order. The location was great right across the street from the ocean, but up the hill where there was a nice view and it was a little bit quieter away from the road itself. We enjoyed biking down and hiking in Petit Manan and having larger outings towards Machias and Schoodic. Wonderful long weekend for a family!

I thought I saw a gas grill in the pictures, but there wasn’t one during our visit.
The brick base around the wood stove was concerning. We ran into it several times hurting our feet/toes! Ouch!!
Overat. It was a lovely cottage and we enjoyed our stay

Great cottage for our visit to Maine
Clean well appointed cottage in a beautiful setting. We couldn’t ask for anything more during our visit. One hour plus to Acadia but the ride was easy. Wonderful host. And the views from the cottage were magnificent!

Beautifully decorated home located across from the water. MOST comfortable queen size bed!!! Steuben is a very, very quiet town but if your looking to relax on a rocking. chair, read a book on a beautiful deck, or just get away from the noise of the city, this is perfect! The property manager Wanda is amazing and so very helpful. We found the drive to Bar Harbor approximately 50 minutes away.

We found this house to be much larger and nicer than the photos indicated on the website. Both bedrooms were an average size and living area was quite roomy. Kitchen was adequately stocked with pots and pans. There is an enclosed porch as well as an outside sitting area and a grill. There are nice hiking trails nearby and Milbridge is nearby for restaurants.

Thanks to Wanda for a great stay! The cottage was exactly as described in pictures and the write up. Everything was spotless and she was very helpful in guiding us to local things to do. Fire pit was a nice end to long days, but the location made the stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Wind Rose Cottage. The views from the porch are lovely, and we loved spending our evenings reading there. The house was very clean, and there was plenty of space for our family of four. It’s an easy hour drive to Acadia or Bar Harbor, and we really enjoyed the peace and quiet after busy days exploring!

Our family had such a wonderful time making memories at Wind Rose Cottage. It was calm, quiet and peaceful yet close enough to take a day trip into Bar Harbor. The house itself was lovely and felt really homey. It was so clean, nicely decorated, and many things had been updated. The kitchen was also really well stocked. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the bay, sunrise, and sunset from the picture windows and the front porch. The beach across the street was an unexpected bonus. Wanda (property manager) was so warm and welcoming. She was so quick to respond to all of our questions and really made us feel at home. We would definitely recommend this cute little cottage. Book it, you won’t be disappointed!

Wanted for nothing!
I am a professional travel advisor who travels frequently and has staying in may rentals by owner. This one is up there as one of the very best! From Wanda's suggestions to her immaculate care of the house, to the well-stocked kitchen, binoculars, firepit with wood all ready, comfy beds, and gorgeous property; the entire stay was perfect. We loved seeing all of the special touches in the house and hope that others will respect it as much as it deserves to be respected.
Definitely take some time to explore the Petit Manan Refuge and enjoy some of the local spots to eat. It is an hour+ drive to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor, but this is true Downeast Maine, with friendly neighbors, and local gems. We hope to be back; would be great to stay for much longer than we were able to do. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with our family.

Close to Heaven!
The location is gorgeous! Close enough To Bar Harbor yet secluded . Sunrise is spectacular! Fire pit was awesome. Wood was provided. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The kitchen could use a broiler pan and some more utensils, we made do and Wanda was extremely helpful!
