Property was quaint and the location is perfect. Our family enjoyed the stay. It was well equipped. There were six of us so I will say the last one to shower at the end of the day definitely had a cold shower. Other than that it was great and we would stay again. The house was clean and well maintained.

Beautiful place

Gorgeous private waterfront property — scenic, quiet. Winter harbor has essentials and a few nice places to eat. Taking my morning coffee out back to watch the lobster boats check traps and seals bob around in the harbor was a treat.

A Little Piece of Heaven

This cabin on the water is a little piece of heaven. Not only are the views amazing, the home itself is warm and inviting and reminds me of an artist's loft. We hardly wanted to leave. We spent time doing puzzles, reading, exploring the rocks and the ocean outside, and relaxing. We did spend a day in Bar Harbor, which isn't too far away, which I highly recommend. The little town of Winter Harbor is cute and quiet, as well. I can't imagine that anyone would regret staying here.

Lovely waterfront home

We loved the waterfront location of this home. Exploring the shoreline and watching the water each morning were some of our favorite activities. We drove each day to Bar Harbor for hikes in Acadia. The house is rustic but very nice.

Amazing spot

Great location, beautiful views and right next to Schoodic area of Acadia. Perfect house for family of 5. Kids loved skipping rocks and watching lobster boats. Great restaurants nearby, and the home was in a very peaceful setting. An easy hour drive to Bar Harbor. Wr enjoyed this quiet coastal area away from the more congested areas.

Awesome cottage on the water

This cottage is truly amazing. The location is just beautiful. I wish so badly we had better weather while we were there but we made the best of it. The cottage has everything well stocked. The kitchen is great. Loved watching the loons on the water. Hope we get to go back some day when the weather is better.

Wonderful unique cottage

This property was so unique and exceeded our expectations. Kids loved the rocks and tide coming in splashing up. Plenty of space for all 5 of us (Me and wife, 3 kids (12,10,8). We drove to Acadia one day (about an hour), took the Puffin tour, watched movies at night with the windows open and perfect breeze, and went to several cool local spots to eat. Great experience great property!

Winter Harbor family weekend

Our family of five stayed in Regina‘s cottage for a wonderful weekend. My husband‘s 99-year-old aunt safely enjoyed the downstairs bedroom with full bathroom.Our teenage children slept soundly in the twin beds at the top of the steps while we gazed out at the water from the second floor bedroom. Everything was gleaming and spotless. We hope to return next year.

Better Than Imagined

The feeling of shock and relief I experienced upon pulling up to the house and realizing we were directly on a beautiful - and much more substantial than expected - section of the harbor was superseded only by the perfection of the interior. Huge, water-facing windows and comfortable bedrooms made for an easy five night stay for four adults and two children under 7. I will 100% be returning to this house in the future.

Wish we could have experienced this lovely cabin

I had been dreaming about a relaxing vacation at this lovely cabin. I fantasized about enjoying a cup of coffee while admiring the fantastic view. Unfortunately, weather events and overbooked airlines ruined my much anticipated plans. We were never able to get there. I hope to rebook this cabin in the future.

Great spot on the ocean.

We enjoyed our stay and the cabin was as advertised. The kitchen stove was troublesome and difficult to light and use. The host had it repaired quickly, but it should have been or replaced before we arrived.
