Right on the water as advertised with a lovely view. Woke every morning to the sound of lobster boats and waves hitting the rocks. Very peaceful. Enjoyed being so close to Schoodic and taking the ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor. Love this quiet part of Maine. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The cottage is set up great. All one floor and having a washer/dryer is SO convenient! The location is exceptional with beautiful water views and it is very quiet. We had a bald eagle visit on two of the days and we saw a seal and a porpoise. Lots of water birds and deer. The cottage is close to very good restaurants i.e. The Treehouse, Ironbound, and J.R. Gerrish...

Spring Getaway

Set back on a private dirt road the setting was perfect. The property was within 50ft of the ocean with spectacular views. The sound of the waves was relaxing no matter what time of day it was. The cottage itself was very cozy, well maintained and had all the necessities we needed for our getaway. Thank you!!!

My family loved our stay here. It was our first trip to Maine, but certainly won’t be our last. We had breakfast on the deck while listening to the waves. There is hiking nearby, which was beautiful. Highly recommend.

Wonderful & Private location!

We loved so many things about the cottage. Overall it was easy to use i.e. the washer/dryer are always appreciated and just the flow of the cottage worked really well. We are older so its being on one level was great and the views are stunning! It's close to great sight seeing and awesome restaurants. Being able to take the ferry over to Bar Harbor was a plus too!

Great summer getaway in Maine

We've stayed at this house twice now and love it. It's a great location on a rocky beach in a quiet neighborhood. Nice view of the bay from the back deck and always the sound of waves crashing on the rocks. We hope to be back again in the future.
