A complete renovation has preserved this Victorian's character with tall ceilings, crown molding, original trim and hardwood floors while providing modern living with open concept kitchen/dining/family rooms, granite countertops, new appliances, remodeled bathrooms and refreshed spaces. The kitchen and upstairs rooms have views of Henry Cove and the ferry landing for Bar Harbor. Outside, the inviting gardens in the side and back yards fringe the eating/relaxing areas with table and chairs. A gas fire ring, lobster cooking pot, gas grill and utensils are ready for your enjoyment!

All of Schoodic Peninsula is in close proximity, but why drive Walk to local restaurants for morning espresso or casual dining. Groceries, gifts, banking, library, post office, historical society, art galleries, antique shops and the Winter Harbor lobster pound* are in close walking distance.

    This historic property was the perfect place for our family of 7. Everything was ready for family meals, memories, and walks through town. We can’t wait to return :)

    I have rented my fare share of places and this home was by far the cleanest space I have ever stayed in. Absolutely adorable home, in a sleepy town that provided us with a much needed escape from the madness of Bar Harbor after our hikes around Acadia. No surprises were had as the Host provided a very well detailed manual before our arrival. Would absolutely choose to stay again if we find ourselves exploring this region in the future. Thank you :)

    The host was one of the best I have ever experienced. Very helpful, so many tips on where to go and what to see. Lovely, lovely house with all the amenities you might need. Could walk to the bakery, local 5 and dime. Some things were closed for the season when we got there but still plenty in Ellesworth. Was so worth going and we all had a great time. Schoodic was, in my opinion, better than Acadia National Park except for the Cadillac Summit drive. Didn't have enough time to see all we wanted to see but did make lots of memories and had time with family.

    This is such a lovely place. I was very impressed with all the amenities. The beds were comfy, and every window has shades! We really enjoyed our stay. The location of Winter Harbor's main street is so unique. There is a coffee shop a few doors down and there are many good restaurants nearby, There's even a store within walking distance. The beauty of Acadia needs to be seen to be believed. The Schoodic Peninsula is my favorite part. It is a very short drive from this wonderful cottage.

    Our stay was great. Five adults. The place was as described, lovely older home well cared for and maintained. The home was well stocked with everything we needed. Extra bedding and towels if needed. Beds were comfortable. Washer/dryer with detergent was really nice as this was the end of a two week vaca. Area was cute with several walkable eateries and a coffee shop. We enjoyed the Schoodic part of Acadia as well as the park on Dessert Island and Bar Harbor. The home was comfortable for all 5 adults to relax together after long days in the parks. Would recommend to friends.

    The house is beautiful and literally took care of our every need. Forgot a cooler? They have one. Need a makeup wipe, extra batteries, or shampoo, they have that too. Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing place to stay for our family vacation!

    Wonderful place to stay,especially if you want to be away from all the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, but close enough to spend a day there.

    The property was fantastic! It was an older home/cottage that has been renovated to a very high standard. The fit & finish of the home and the furnishings were excellent. It would have been hard to find a better property for the four of us to visit Maine and Acadia. I would highly recommend this property to anyone.
