About this house rental
Meticulously renovated 1888 Victorian cottage in downtown Winter Harbor. Let this charming home be your hub for all the activities in Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia National Park. It has space to entertain or just to unwind.
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. Take the free Island Explorer bus to key points locally around Schoodic Peninsula and/or take the ferry for a car-free excursion to enjoy downtown Bar Harbor or continue on the Island Explorer bus to experience the larger portion of Acadia National Park. Kayak, bicycle or hike on trails at Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island and at the Schoodic Woods campground. Enjoy the works of local artists and performing arts including those sponsored in town by Schoodic Arts for All and the Winter Harbor Music Festival.
When not out and about, you can relax with an available book, game or just enjoy watching the gulls and occasional bald eagles. Or you can plug-in with wireless access to high speed internet, high definition television or watch a movie.

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.

This charming house was one of the most exceptional properties that we have ever stayed in. Everything was first class - the attention to detail , cleanliness, appointments, directions. etc. All in all a memorable experience. As a long-standing vacationers to Winter Harbor we found the location to be ideal. Central to all of our activities (biking, walking, shopping, and touring). Our thanks to the owners for all that you have done here!
