5/5 5/5 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!

5/5 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!

Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad your reunion was a success
4/5 The owners of this property have worked hard to restore it since the 2024 storm that nearly totally destroyed it. The location of the cottage is perfect…within walking distance to several good restaurants (Treehouse Seaside Grill our favorite), a market across the street, and the ferry to Bar Harbor around the corner to name a few. Most everything you need for your stay is included. The view is lovely too from both inside and outside.Our only negative is that the downstairs bedroom really needs a new bed. I’m sure the owners will be working on replacing some pieces of furniture as they continue their renovations.Thank you for a relaxing stay in Winter Harbor!

From the owner: "Thank you for your feedback — a new bed for the downstairs room is at the top of our list, and we’re also planning to sand and seal the floor to keep the space in great condition for future stays."
