About this cottage rental
Explore the best of coastal Maine from this cozy 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage on Henry Cove. Located in the charming village of Winter Harbor, the recently renovated vacation rental offers both seclusion and easy access to sightseeing opportunities on Mt. Desert Island. And though Acadia National Park is a can't-miss, you might be content relaxing here: hiking the Schoodic trails and fishing off the town wharf. End each adventurous day with a barbecue and a bayside breeze on the waterfront lawn.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Wonderful long weekend stay. Such a unique property in amazing location right on the water and easy walking distance from multiple great restaurants, walking/super short driving distance from Bar Harbor ferry, and easy driving distance from Schoodic peninsula trails, seaside rock scrambling, etc. Pre-stay communications were excellent and house access via key code super easy. We (4 adults, 1 teenager, 1 dog) loved the postcard views, comfy swivel chairs, and fire pit. Note that the upstairs bunk room plus bathroom is accessed by a steep staircase almost steep enough to be considered a ladder. But the stairs have excellent treads and the two only semi-fit 50 somethings plus 9 year old dog that slept up there ended up navigating them fine. TL;DR, we loved our stay and hope to return soon!

Comfortable with an outstanding view of Winter Harbor. The living room is spacious and comfortable and there is a large, loft upstairs that has comfortable beds - a bunkbed and double bed. The stairs a re steep going to the loft, and might be something to consider if you have young kids or bad knees (we had neither). We really enjoyed our stay in the house and loved the area!

Clean, comfortable house in a great little town.

Our four night stay in Winter Harbor didn’t start great, but the home has great potential. There was a mixup between the owner and cleaner so when we arrived the home hadn’t been cleaned. It was bad. I contacted the owner and the cleaner arrived shortly after. The owner (Larry) was responsive and contacted me when the cleaners left. He was told “we did the best we could with the time we had.” I’m still not sure what that means since we didn’t give them a time limit.
The home has a wonderful history. A winter storm hit the Harbor in January and because of the damage, the owners completely restored the home. We enjoyed watching the tide come in and go out, and the wildlife was abundant. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. What a treasure Schoodic Peninsula is!
