About this house rental

Located in Winter Harbor, this charming house for $246 per night is a great option for your next trip. This season spend your vacation on the ocean overlooking Henry’s Cove in Winter Harbor with all the amenities nearby—5-minute walk to the center of Winter Harbor where art galleries, antique stores, and a 5&10 will bring you back to a simpler life. A nearby walk leads you to the working Inner Harbor where fishing boats come and go. How can it be better! Just relax! Let the town work its magic on you. Grindstone Neck, Schoodic Point, Frazer’s Point, and Schoodic Head are all destination points of interest. Plus, from the opposite shore of Henry’s Cove, a ferry travels daily to downtown Bar Harbor passing by Mark Island with a historic lighthouse, uninhabited Ironbound Island, and the Porcupine Islands all in Frenchman’s Bay. In the distance, Cadillac Mountain is the highlight of Bar Harbor. The house at the end of School Street has a wide deck overlooking the tidal pools and granite ledges. Bird watchers, kayakers, boaters, cyclists, hikers, photographers, and wanderers of all types will have a wonderful time watching the sea birds including eagles and osprey, smelling the native pine trees and wild roses, and feeling the cool of the inevitable change in weather as the tide comes in and goes out. The ranch-style house provides sleeping for 6 (maximum 9 including sofa bed and roll away) with relaxing living and dining room areas crowned with magnificent picture windows looking out on to Henry’s Cove and beyond. The galley-type kitchen has modern appliances; the living area has cable TV and a phone for local calls. The local grocery store, also within walking distance, has your haddock filets for dinner and the local fishermen’s co-op has the lobsters. The property is 1 1/2 acres including woods along 300+ feet of shoreline. Life is too short not to visit Winter Harbor, a beautiful area of the Maine coast off the beaten track but right next door.

It felt like coming to your grandmothers. so comfy and cozy, everything you needed with a wonderful view of the harbor with amazing sunrise over schoodic pennisula. We enjoyed walking around town. And hiking on Schoodic head. A lovely time of year to visit, cool temps and less tourists!

Three of us shared this comfortable house, off the beaten path on a quiet cove. The deck and yard overlook the water, and we enjoyed sunrises and sunsets with harbor seals swimming nearby. Kitchen with nicely equipped with basics for for meal preparation and serving. Little touches -- like binoculars and bird books on the table by the large window -- invited us to explore and enjoy the environment. Check-in and check-out were easy, and our host was welcoming and responsive. We hope to return for a longer stay some time soon.

We had a great time at the cottage. Great view of the harbor with lots of wildlife around the property, turkey (4 Tom’s and 6 hens) deer, (buck, doe, young bud buck and young doe), otter, and lots of seabirds. A bit of a drive to the main Acadia Park area but we knew this up front. A great place away from the busy touristy Bar Harbor area. Well stocked kitchen was a plus. We would highly recommend this property.

I looked forward to enjoying this property once again with more friends. It is just as charming, quaint and quiet as the first time I visited. I now need to figure out how to get there for a third time ! My friends enjoyed our stay and appreciated the charm as much as I did. Plenty of cookware, plates and cups. We used the washer and dryer. Enjoyed the deck for morning tea and evening star gazing. Had a big rain and wind storm and we were warm and cozy inside. We enjoyed walking to restaurants in town and to the 5 and dime. Also enjoyed the proximity to Schoodic Point. After enjoying Bar Harbor for a day, we were all happy to drive back to the peace and quiet of our cottage. I recommend this cottage to anyone who is considering a visit. It feels like you’re home.

So glad we chose this property for our time in Acadia. The home is so cozy & welcoming, and exceptionally clean. The setting is absolutely beautiful, the town is charming, and feels like a little Mayberry. My only regret is not staying a little longer & having more time to spend at the home/ town. I hope we can come back again one day!

We had a wonderful visit to Winter Harbor at the beginning of August. The cottage was clean and well appointed. So much more space than you think! We had 3 adults and 2 children and had plenty of space to spread out. We loved being able to walk to town or sit on the deck and watch the tide. My mom joined us and she is already looking at returning to this cottage. We highly recommend!
