Please note- Sunday to Sunday change over this season.

A hearty welcome to Breezy Point Cottage.
Although we have owned the land for over 25 years, we were only able to build around 14 years ago. Designed with lots of pine, cedar, open beams, and some wallboard for color. A mix of old and new furnishings (my heirloom ugly pink shade lamp stays as voted on by prior guests- much to Kathy's chagrin), lots of windows and outdoor spaces offers one multiple opportunities to find that contemplative area. Pines all around, overlooking the open ocean and a deep water bay, this cottage resides on a dead end very quiet private road on Birch Harbor.
Here you can enjoy the privacy of 225 feet of rock bound waters. An easy path to the shore rocks for sitting in your red chairs to enjoy the waves, wildlife, cruise ships, lobster boats, and a view of the Petit Manan Light. We have a thunder hole when the waves get rolling and a tidal pool to cool your feet. A chimenea and wood near the shore for your outdoor adventures. Lots of low bush blueberries for breakfast when in season.
The second floor has the bedrooms. Bedroom one overlooks the ocean and bay, has a king bed and a sitting area. Plenty of room for the rollaway bed.
Bedroom two has a queen bed and overlooks the bay and the pines. Room for the rollaway bed here as well.
Both bedrooms have a separate door to the upper deck overlooking the bay, setting sun, mountain, and the night sky. Gazing at the milky way may be the highlight of your stay. Two air mattress (and pump) supplied for those wanting to overnight on the deck. Those pesky mosquitoes do not seem to fly this high, making this spot a pleasure especially at night. Be sure to use the LED glasses for your nighttime liquid fortifications!
There is a full bath upstairs as well. This is the only “room” without an ocean view!
As you can visualize in the pictures, the second floor is unfinished on the exterior walls giving that cottage look of yesteryear. Your looking at the interesting patterns of the pine sheathing. The ceilings are finished and insulated.
The first floor has a full kitchen, a separate utility area with a 1/2 bath containing a washer/dryer for your use.
The dining nook has an expandable table seating up to 8 overlooking the ocean and the bay view.
An open living area with a large couch and four chairs you can move around to the changing views and guests. A day bed provides one with a small escape, a breeze, and a view. Children of all ages seem to find pleasure in the fort below the daybed. The couch is a queen foldout. Exit this room to the small front deck or a screened in porch. Dine on the screen porch or hang up the two hammocks for an overnight rest. Let the waves, foghorn and shoal buoys erase your tensions.
There is a freestanding gas fireplace should heat (or effect!) be required. The wood fireplace is locked out and not available for use.
Wireless internet is available (finally, some would say ) at the cottage. The DVD player (Blu-Ray) gives one access to their internet TV if you have such a subscription. We have a ROKU stick as well for use. No live TV. A wacky collection of DVD's and an old shortwave radio for your enjoyment are here as well. Lots of Maine history books for the quiet times.
There is an unfinished walkout basement (viewed under the porch and deck). The slider allows you to store your toys inside.
Your well behaved dog (one maximum) is welcome. We keep pet bowls, leash, toys, etc. for your use. A large dog-a-pedic beds are here and should keep your pooch comfortable after a long day of exploration.
A nice loop to walk is right from the front door (about 2 miles or so) brings you views of Prospect Harbor, Schoodic peninsula, and the tip of Birch Harbor.
Schoodic is an easy bike or car ride. The new addition of the Schoodic Woods Campground also brings new bike trails, walking/hiking trails and ANP programs to this quiet part of ANP.
Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge resides about a half hour North in Milbridge. Great birding, secluded beach, and great views abound with very minimal human traffic.
Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park on Mount Desert is an hour drive. A nice way to spend the day is to ferry out of Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor, than use the Island Explorer bus system to access many parts of ANP and all of this parks offerings. From the landing you can walk into Bar Harbor for a return to civilization( ). For those with limited time on MDI, Ollie's Trolley has a great tour of Bar Harbor proper, ANP, all the while their guides give a great running history.

For those of you new to the area-there is a growing information book at the cottage to assist you in your adventures.
We encourage you to call or write with any questions regarding our offering or the area in general.
No matter where you choose to stay, natures beauty is the draw here.
Happy trails to you!
Dave, Kathy, Chris, and Mike

    We had a wonderful stay. The house had everything we needed and had all the little touches we wouldn't have remembered to bring. We loved the outdoor seating area directly above the rocks where we could watch seabirds and animals. The house itself had multiple cozy areas to watch the ocean tides and moods also. It's the perfect oceanside retreat!

    We loved the property and the host was above excellent! The view from the property was awesome. We had good nights for star gazing. Every little item was available in the cabin in the event you forgot something - this was very thoughtful. It was sooo peaceful and quiet. This is a do again for us! And the lobster!!!!!! We also enjoyed the many Maine puns, such as the Lobstore - lol and of course “Chow Maine” lol really funny! Lots to see driving around and Bar Harbor not too far away! Also the cabin was dog friendly and our sheepdog Morley rated it 5 Dogbones!!!!!

    Such a beautiful location! Lots of love and thoughtfulness built into this home away from home. The June rain did not deter from our time of great joy and calm. The view is beyond amazing. Beyond ANP and the Schoodic experience are the generous and kind owners. We will never forget this place and our memories. Our hearts and minds are full. Mission accomplished!

    Great house, lovely setting. Water views from most windows, not to mention porch/deck, and waterfront on the rocks.

    We had a great stay at Breezy Point Cottage. In my opinion, the view alone is worth the rent you pay. The view is fantastic anywhere you stand in the cottage but it is especially magical sitting on one of the red Adirondack chairs -- watching the mackerels splashing about when the tides turn, the lobstermen check their traps, or just the sunrise and sunset. Priceless. David is a fantastic host. He responds to messages very quickly and always provides tips on how to best experience the area. The property is spacious, clean and well-appointed. Anything you can think of doing, the cottage has the tools or equipment for it. In the two weeks that we stayed in the cottage we were able to bake several cakes, grill several meats, steam and boil lobsters (about 3 times), and make pizza. There is a hiking kit, beach chairs, interesting books, and card and board games. It has everything you could possibly need and more. We love Breezy Point Cottage and will be coming back next year. Thank you David and Kathy for sharing your cottage with us. Our families are still talking about the great time we had in Winter Harbor. See you next year! Louise

    Gorgeous oceanfront location. Quiet, and off the beaten path, but close enough to restaurants, stores, etc. Plenty to do in the area, but why would you want to leave? Beautiful cottage with breathtaking views out every window, all the amenities you need, and right on the water. Well worth the trip and rental fee. Would do it again!

    The cottage was perfect for us. It's tucked away and offers a quiet place to enjoy the lovely cove. The host was super quick to respond and was informative and welcoming. It's closer to Schoodic, so we didn't go to MDI. We brought our bikes and kayaks and found it a wonderful location to enjoy outside.

    We found this to be a large, clean, and well-maintained property, exactly as described. Even better, we found it to be more private and secluded than expected for an oceanfront property. Houses on both sides, but separated by at least 30 feet of woods, and nothing but woods across the street.

    This is a long delayed review. We stayed here during July in 2021 and absolutely loved every minute of it. From the kid’s cubby to hearing the waves first thing in the morning upstairs, I was so impressed with the amount of care that put into the place. We had excellent communication from start to finish. The dog and kids loved exploring the property, and it was a much needed time away in quieter settings. If you have already had the Intro to Bar Harbor experience and want a relaxing time in the area, I highly recommend a stay here.
