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.

Best cottage and great location

This cottage was wonderful. It was meticulous, fully stocked and quiet. The enclosed porch sealed the deal. Very convenient to Schoodic (Acadia). Just bring yourself and enjoy the surroundings. Sandy is a great host. Thank you for making our trip so pleasant.

Serenity on the Quiet Side of the Schoodic Peninsula

Such a Lovely home! Comfy beds, room air conditioning and ceiling fans offer comfort for a great night’s 😴 All amenities are provided in the kitchen…no need to wash/dry dishes in the sink. 😊We enjoyed spending time unwinding in the enclosed sunroom off the rear of the home that overlooks a quiet yard surrounded by aromatic white pines. Located near Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Entrance, several scenic turnouts provide photographic views. Nearby are several good eating establishments and down the street is an ice cream shoppe. So, if you’re looking for a respite away from the hub bub, this cabin will not disappoint! Five Stars ⭐️

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!

Great Cottage in a Great Location

This was our second stay at the Sandy and Bob’s cottage. If anything, we enjoyed it more than our first. The location is hard to beat. It’s less than 5 minutes to the entry to Schoodic, meaning that it was very easy for us to go to the park whenever we felt like it. It is even closer to the Pickled Wrinkle, a pretty good casual local restaurant, and not far from the other restaurants in Winter Harbor. The cottage itself was well stocked and very clean. When we last visited the weather was cold and we found the cottage cozy. Thankfully this time it was significantly warmer, and we were able to fully enjoy the screened in porch in the back, spending our mornings and evenings listening to and seeing nature. Some other random notes on the cottage: There are plenty of helpful booklets and brochures describing local attractions. The wifi worked excellently for us. A window air conditioner was in the master bedroom. Most days you might not need it, but when the temperature reaches the high 80’s (as it did one day for us) you will! We have been to this cottage twice with very different weather conditions (cool and rainy the first time, warm to hot but dry the second) and enjoyed it each time. We will be back again!

Relaxing Getaway

Sandy is a fabulous host! We were "last minute" guests after hurricane left our original vaca house further north without power. She responded quickly, helped us reserve and gave us early entry that we so appreciated! The house is clean, new and very well appointed. Enjoyed the screened in porch with relaxing wooded views of the backyard. There were books, brochures and maps for the area that came in handy! So close to Schoodic hiking trails, ferry to Bar Harbor, and Sunrise Trail. Thank you for a great stay :)

Wonderful Winter Harbor Getaway

We loved the Woodland Cottage. The cottage is clean, nicely decorated and has just about everything you need. We spent a good amount of time on the screened porch overlooking the nicely landscaped yard and listening to the birds.Winter Harbor turned out to be exactly what we were looking for to spend some quiet time away. It's a cute little town with some nice restaurants,galleries,shops and very friendly people and only one half mile to the Schoodic entrance to Arcadia which is absolutely beautiful.Sandy, the property manager,was very pleasant and accommodating.We had a great time exploring the harbors and surrounding villages and towns.We look forward to a return trip in the future.

Wonderful stay at Winter Harbor

We really enjoyed our stay at Bob & Sandy’s cute cottage in Winter Harbor. Before we even arrived, Sandy reached out to let us know that the cottage was ready and there was no need to wait until 4pm. I thought that was a really nice thing to do :) When we finally did arrive, the first thing we saw were the beautiful and welcoming flowerbeds. Walking into the cottage, we felt like we were on HGTV with the cottage prepared just for us. The table was nicely set and the scrabble game in the loft revealed a cute message! The four of us (and small dog) were more than comfortable staying put on those rainy days. In the better weather, the Schoodic Peninsula was a beautiful area to explore. Bob mentioned the Gallery (local spot) for craft cocktails and dinner. We really enjoyed it! Thanks so much Bob and Sandy for a fantastic week!

Perfect Stay

We loved our stay at the house!!! The house was clean, new and fresh, and well appointed. The kitchen was very well equipped. The home was so comfortable. We spent hours on the screened in porch reading books and enjoying the outdoors even though the weather was crummy. The house is quiet and private, yet also close to everything you need. The basket of maps and brochures was super helpful. Communication with Sandy was easy. The perfect Maine vacation!! We will definitely return.

Serenity Near Schoodic

This cottage was perfect for a quiet getaway. The back screen porch had enough sunlight in the morning to sit and enjoy a morning coffee and book in late March (albeit it required a jacket). Conveniently located to the Schoodic Peninsula, it was only a matter of a few minutes before we were walking the trails within the park. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was well appointed and set up well. The home was extremely clean, checking-in was easy, there was no problem getting in and out of the driveway with a large vehicle, and the owners extremely nice to deal with.

Cozy Cottage in the Woods

We very much enjoyed staying here. The cottage was very well laid out and well supplied. The weather was not great for our week so we couldn’t enjoy the screened in porch as much as we would have wanted, but I would imagine if it was just a bit warmer and less rainy we would happily have spent a lot of time there. The setting in the woods is very nice. As it was, we were very comfortable in the indoors area. The gas fireplace was particularly useful for our week! I did a bit of work while there, and the Wi-Fi worked well. I had no problem taking Teams calls, and we streamed football games too. The location is excellent. Only a few minutes from the entrance to Schoodic, “downtown” Winter Harbor and our favorite local restaurant, The Pickled Wrinkle. Other towns like Correa and Gouldsboro are pretty close too. There were plenty brochures provided with details on local attractions. These were extremely helpful to us - we found hiking trails using them and actually identified a few other activities we’d do if we came back more in season. Sandy was very helpful with communication before our visit. Very responsive and followed up later with more info on some of my questions where she didn’t immediately have a complete answer. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back some day.

The Quiet Side of Acadia

What a beautiful house to spend a week or a couple of weeks in. If you are seeking a place to spend quiet time with the beautiful rocky coast of Maine a stone’s throw away, this is where you want to be. Besides being a beautiful house, you will feel comfortable knowing it is spotlessly cleaned by the owner, beds are comfortable, and wonderful light streams in through the many windows. The screened porch is where you want to have your morning coffee, relax and read a book, and later in the day enjoy the wine, cheese and crackers left for you upon your arrival. Great hosts, gorgeous yet comfy house, you won’t want to leave. Sandee and I loved our stay.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Thibault and Sandy Mullins

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.
