About this property
Serene, isolated beach-front cottage with newly renovated kitchen
Take our view of the Prospect Harbor Lighthouse with your morning coffee this summer, disturbed only by the fishing of eagles and ospreys. Walk for miles along the granite beaches of our neighboring nature preserve, pick blueberries, play on our sand beach, or explore some of the best tidal pools of Hancock County. We have a peek at Cadillac mountain of Acadia National Park from the floor to peak windows on our front wall. We’re isolated down a half mile long private drive, but just around the corner from the Schoodic Peninsula and an easy drive to Mt Desert Island, or take the ferry to Bar Harbor from nearby Winter Harbor. The house sleeps six, with a queen downstairs, and a queen and two singles in the loft. We have a single bathroom with a shower. We rent whole weeks with Sunday check in and out. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare the local lobsters, clams or mussels any way you like, or you can grill your daily catch on the deck. The newly updated kitchen has new stove, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. There is now plenty of counter and storage space. Since we love to cook, there are good knives and plenty of tools. We’ve provided a gas fireplace, washer and dryer. You have to provide lemons, butter, bikes and kayaks.

This property was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. The view was spectacular and the location was perfect. So glad we had the opportunity to stay. Check in was super easy and the kitchen had everything we needed.

So glad you enjoyed our slice of heaven! Thank you for the great review!
Fabulous secluded cottage! Check in was easy with lockbox, very clean and inviting. Communication with Martha was great, always responsive. I only wish we could have stayed longer than 5 days!
Perfect get away from a fast paced lifestyle. Don’t expect to sit and watch TV, sitting on the deck overlooking the bay is the best entertainment you will find. Everything was perfect
This house is in a wonderful location. We enjoyed the beautiful view, wildlife, and exploring the area. The house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the great review!
We loved our stay in Martha's beautiful, well-equipped, and welcoming home. The access to the rocky shore, views of the water, glimpses of porpoises, seals, otters, loons, and eagles--all of this meant that whenever we were home we had so much wild nature to enjoy. We were also amazed at how easy it was to get over to the quieter Schoodic section of Acadia for hiking, running, and tide pooling. Really, this place is ideal for having time to yourself AND getting out to enjoy nearby recreational areas with minimal driving and crowds. Martha makes every part of the stay easy and enjoyable.
What a gem! Shortly after arriving, my wife and I agreed that renting this house is one of the best things we’ve ever done. The setting is incredible! The attention to detail at the property is the best we’ve experienced with any rental. The proximity to the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park is very convenient. And Me & Ben’s Dairy Creme is not to be missed for ice cream and custard! We’ll be recommending this place to our friends & family and hope to be back ourselves!
Beautiful house, location is idyllic, picture perfect Maine. Very clean and has everything you need and more. Could not ask for more perfect getaway. We will return.

Thank you and we’re so happy you had a wonderful time! It will be great to have you back!
What a beautiful spot! The water, the rocks, the sky! And we live in a beautiful spot in Vermont, but miss the ocean. And Schoodic Point, one of the best places on earth, is nearby. The cottage is comfortable and felt friendly and welcoming. Staying there for even just a week did us good!

Excellent! You feel the same way we do about this beautiful place! I’m so happy! Thank you, and I hope you come back.
8 years later we returned to this little slice of heaven. Very very quiet, what the lobster boats come, collect their lobsters in the morning and listen to the sound of the ocean while you sleep. No Wi-Fi or really any TV but that’s the best kind of vacation. Played board games, watched seals and collected rocks. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us.

We had a wonderful and peaceful time. We loved that this place was secluded with an awesome view. We saw a family of harbor porpoises and a couple of seals every morning and in the evening. This place was everything we were expected and more.

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s the best kind of place for those who enjoy nature.
The house is set up wonderfully to hang out for the week. The beds are very comfortable. Spent many hours on the deck watching the tide go in and out. Also spent time at Acadia and going up the coast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much Kate! I’m so glad you enjoyed our place! Martha
We have been coming back to this cabin for several years, it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy all the beauty around you. We saw eagles, seals and dolphins out in the harbor, our daughter caught fish right out front of the house. It’s peaceful and secluded, but not far from Schoodic and other places to explore. If you are looking to relax and enjoy nature this is the place.
Just what we were looking for...a great place to relax with lots of exploring available. The house was very clean and very comfortable. Loved the deck...we used it a lot!
Not having been there before, it was a bit scary arriving in the forest after dark, but we never felt unsafe and giggled about it in the morning! We loved our stay!

It was awesome. Total privacy. View of water with lots of wildlife. Saw 2 Eagles, hummingbirds, deer, dragonflies, red squirrel and turkey flocks.
House was great on water with views in multiple directions. Had everything you could need.
We loved our stay at this charming cabin. It was exactly as described and the oceanfront was so much fun to explore. The owners were fantiastic and answered all of our questions. The kitchen is very well stocked and the knives are actually usable. The beds are all very comfortable. It’s a bit of a drive to Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor but Schoodic point is fun as well. Verizon phones work great here for when you are planing your next adventure. We will definitely remember this place when we return.
Great location with proximity to ocean. Even though there was no ocean access, my boys fished almost every day. Despite not catching anything, they still had fun. Loved listening to the ocean as we drifted off to sleep. Very secluded and peaceful. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us. Great way to end the summer as our older 2 boys head back/start college. Lots of family time and memories made.

I’m so glad you had a good time, and thank you for the wonderful review! To clarify for future guests, the cottage is directly on the ocean beach. Perhaps by no access Lisa meant we don’t provide kayaks or other boats, or that there’s not a sand beach in front of the cottage? One can swim from our beach if you don’t mind frigid water and a classical Maine rock beach!
Our vacation was fantastic. The house is fully loaded with whatever you may need, during your stay. It is clean and comfortable, and the views are indescribable.
The Lunch on the Wharf, restaurant in Corea has the best Lobster rolls around and their entire staff was lovely.
It was an all around AMAZING vacation and we will go back next year! Martha promptly gets back to you, if you have any questions. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place, Martha. It was our best vacation, EVER! 😊

I’m honored to share our family home with you. Thank you for the wonderful review!
I almost hate to give a five star review for this place, and our hosts, because I want to keep it a secret. 😂 We arrived and the place was pristine and the new kitchen looked great. Although, I did not mind the old one. It was just as wonderful as our last visit here. The views were amazing, and we loved that the water was a bit rougher, after the storm. I cannot say enough good about this house, and property. It should be named, Serenity. Thank you again, Martha, for sharing your family home with us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Property was as advertised, only better. Rustic with taste but not at all spartain. Great views and atmosphere. Kitchen appliances were all new and high end. A huge lobster steaming pot was provided.
Plenty of notes were left to help us enjoy our stay.
Internet access via our phones was superb due to a nearby tower in Gouldsboro. (ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon, likely more).
Be sure to have breakfast in Winter Harbor, lunch in Corea Harbor (Lunch On The Wharf).
Biking at Schoodic Peninsula was excellent. E-Bikes were ok with some restrictions. Bicycles stayed out of the weather in the outside washroom.
A very, very private location! Well worth it!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, and I’m so happy you liked it! My parents bought the land and built the cottage almost 60 years ago and it’s special for everyone in our family. Please come again!
We are frequent visitors to the Winter Harbour/ Corea peninsula and love this area away from hustle of more touristic Bar Harbor. The house is a rustic yet cozy cabin right on the water with incredible view of the Prospect Harbor lighthouse , morning lobster boats. It is VERY secluded with no neighbors surrounded by woods. The cabin is basic but covers mostly everything you may need from kitchen utensils, some spices/tea/sugar/coffee to gas fireplace that adds coziness on colder days and throws/blankets for late evenings on the deck. Washer and Dryer came handy for light packing travelers, but it is in a shack adjacent to the house that you enter from outside. Loft sleeping quarters have great over the water view through railing into the living area and nice large windows to the woods. Lower bedroom has 2 small windows, not much light but when you leave them open for the night, you go to sleep with pines whispering and ocean waves crashing against the shore, best lullaby you can ask for.

Lovely spot
I must say that when we first pulled onto the long winding dirt road that is the driveway to the property, it was a little scary but the next morning when we woke up and saw the beautiful view, Wow! The cabin was very nice, rustic and clean. I have to mention that we did smell propane and were a little concerned about that. Overall we loved the house but it is definitely the location that made it so memorable.
