Sandy and Bob were great - available but unobtrusive. The house was a great place to spend a couple weeks in the summer, and the very quick internet connection made working very easy. 10/10, would stay there again (and already have plans to do so).

The cottage was just lovely. It was a very comfortable place to stay and had everything we needed. The bed was nice and comfy too. Highly recommend. Very close to Schoodic which is nice for hiking and spending time in the park. Winter Harbor is a great place to stay and has some good restaurants. We look forward to staying again.

We absolutely loved our stay. Sandy went above and beyond preparing the cottage for us. It feels like you’re walking into a well loved home. All the small finishing touches she put on everything. She thought of everything you possibly could need during our stay. From items to keep busy on a rainy day, maps and information on surrounding area, spices and directions how to prepare your own lobster. The cabin was immaculately clean and the beds were comfortable. I loved having my coffee in the screened room every morning. The cabin is in a beautiful area. This will be a new yearly tradition for us.

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.

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.

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.
