Great quiet location

Loved our entire stay. Very convenient to the quiet side of Acadia and not a bad drive to Mt. Desert Island. Lots to do in the area that kept us busy for our entire stay. My youngest loved the loft area, he took this over as his room. Very clean and well stocked. Would most definitely stay here again.

Acadia Woodland Cottage was clean and cozy, had everything we needed. Appreciated all of the cozy touches - throws for chilly evenings, books and games and art on display from a local artist :) Especially enjoyed the rocking chairs on the screened porch for morning coffee and the proximity to the quiet side of Acadia Natl Park.

Great stay in Winter Harbor

We had a very nice stay at this beautiful home in Winter Harbor. The place was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Lots of light, comfortable beds and even a welcome of a bottle of wine, accompanied by cheese and crackers. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was a grassy area in the back bordered by the woods where our dog could run a bit and chase a ball. Overall, highly recommend.

Sweet house just outside of Schoodic Peninsula

Our rental was neat as a pin and contained anything one might need to prepare meals or to simply enjoy a cup of coffee. Bed was quite comfie and the sun porch, where we enjoyed reading & watching the nuthatches & woodpeckers, was a bonus. You'll want for nothing while in this sweet house and will enjoy your close proximity to Acadia's "quiet side" just down the road. While there, check out J.M. Gerrish for b'fast & lunch. Wonderful food & lovely people.

Best Ever!!

The location is in-between the entrance and exit to Acadia on Winter Harbor - the quieter, more peaceful part of Acadia. Sandy the host was so helpful with recommendations and advice. The cottage is beautiful, clean and has every little detail taken care of. Such a great little town, and near enough to everything you want and need. We did a puffin tour, saw quite a bit of wildlife, heard even more! Going back as soon as we can- for TWO weeks this time! Thank you Sandy for such amazing family memories!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Thibault and Sandy Mullins

Host profile image
Bob and I began planning and building this house as a seasonal rental in 2020. Bob is the designer and builder and he has done an excellent job on this beautiful two bedroom, two bathroom home including a full kitchen, eating and living area, lovely upstairs loft which includes a twin bed, games, and desk in case you need to work! The location is surrounded by beautiful trees and the deer love to wander by. We are also close to many places to visit in any direction. Photographers will find numerous light houses, eagles, deer, turkeys, sunrises and sunsets, and beaches galore, all within a short ride up and down the coast. We hope you will enjoy the peace and quiet of the surroundings. We are very close to the Schoodic Section of Acadia National Park and an hour's drive to the Main area of Acadia in Mount Desert Island for more panoramic views of the Atlantic. If you don't feel like driving, Winter Harbor has a ferry over to Bar Harbor and once there, lots of free buses to take one all over the island! And, after a full day of touring Bar Harbor's beautiful attractions, one can come back to the Schoodic peninsula's peace and slower pace.

Why they chose this property

We love it because it is close to all the amenities and has the privacy of woodland. If you're here for rest and relaxation or, looking to explore the beautiful Maine coastline, you've found the right place. There are so many hiking and biking trails, lakes, and kayaks can be rented nearby if you'd like to explore the many harbors and bays.

What makes this property unique

If you are arriving late, we are very happy to do some grocery shopping for you. Just send us a list and we will have the fridge stocked for you when you arrive.
