Oceanfront Cottage W/Views of Acadia Natl. Park/Walk to Town

This season spend your vacation on the ocean overlooking Henry’s Cove in Winter Harbor with all the amenities nearby—5-minute walk to the center of Winter Harbor where art galleries, antique stores, and a 5&10 will bring you back to a simpler life. A nearby walk leads you to the working Inner Harbor where fishing boats come and go. How can it be better! Just relax! Let the town work its magic on you. Grindstone Neck, Schoodic Point, Frazer’s Point, and Schoodic Head are all destination points of interest. Plus, from the opposite shore of Henry’s Cove, a ferry travels daily to downtown Bar Harbor passing by Mark Island with a historic lighthouse, uninhabited Ironbound Island, and the Porcupine Islands all in Frenchman’s Bay. In the distance, Cadillac Mountain is the highlight of Bar Harbor.

The house at the end of School Street has a wide deck overlooking the tidal pools and granite ledges. Bird watchers, kayakers, boaters, cyclists, hikers, photographers, and wanderers of all types will have a wonderful time watching the sea birds including eagles and osprey, smelling the native pine trees and wild roses, and feeling the cool of the inevitable change in weather as the tide comes in and goes out.
The ranch-style house provides sleeping for 6 (maximum 9 including sofa bed and roll away) with relaxing living and dining room areas crowned with magnificent picture windows looking out on to Henry’s Cove and beyond. The galley-type kitchen has modern appliances; the living area has cable TV and a phone for local calls. The local grocery store, also within walking distance, has your haddock filets for dinner and the local fishermen’s co-op has the lobsters.

The property is 1 1/2 acres including woods along 300+ feet of shoreline.
Life is too short not to visit Winter Harbor, a beautiful area of the Maine coast off the beaten track but right next door.

Peace and quiet
Very, and I mean VERY quiet. The only thing we saw nearby were three deer that were in the yard and the woods next door, and we saw them nearly every day. And of course the birds! VERY close to the ocean. We were lucky when we were there as the ferry and a lot of restaurants close for the season, the following week. Very short drive to Acadia-Schoodic and about an hour to the main Acadia. Schoodic was deserted but the main one was packed. Our fault; we picked a day two cruise ships were there in Bar Harbour.

A wonderful place to stay
A cozy retreat, very beautiful and peaceful. The house has everything you need. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets seen from the house and Schoodic Point several miles from the house. Bar Harbor and Acadia Park are within an hour drive and are a must see. Lots of places to eat along the way and the food in Winter Harbor is great as are the locals. We enjoyed our stay very much! We were greeted by a family of deer who live nearby and saw them almost daily. Otters, birds, turkeys, and ducks call this home as well. Walking through Bar Harbor made us glad we stayed a bit farther away as it was less crowded. Thanks Elizabeth for a wonderful retreat! several miles away.

Peace and Tranquility
If you're looking for a quiet place to stay as a base to explore Acadia but away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, this tranquil spot in Winter Harbor is perfect. Loved the views of Henry's Cove from the living/ dining area and deck. Enjoyed peaceful evenings by the firepit listening to the birds and gentle ocean waves, morning walks to Grindstone Point, and meals at the Pickled Wrinkle and Chase's. Host Elizabeth was excellent. Pet friendly too. Highly recommended!

Tranquil Home Base
The perfect spot to relax & enjoy the peace of the water after long days of hiking & biking the Schoodic peninsula. Easy ferry access to Bar Harbor, but really no need to leave Winter Harbor. Requires some planning around meals as many things close early. We enjoyed grabbing some fresh lobster from the local co-op & cooking them at home. Would love to return in the future.

Great view of the cove, cozy home, good breezes, peace and quiet.
This house is located right on an ocean cove, with 2 decks. Spacious living and dining area. Kitchen had all we needed. Super quiet. If you have young children they may have to sleep on the hide a bed as there is only 1 bed upstairs, the rest are in the basement. If you want to go to Bar Harbor there is a ferry but it is $20 per adult one way. To drive there or Acadia takes about an hour one way. We saw lots of marine birds and also a seal right in front of the house!

Absolute perfection
My family stayed at the property for four nights in July. We have two teenage boys. We traveled back and forth to the main part of Acadia several days, but fell in love with the Schoodic area of the park just minutes from this house. The rocks and views at Schoodic point are breathtaking. We did a great hike up Anvil Trail to Schoodic Point (follow Alder Trail back down). It was just wonderful. Winter Harbor is a lovely town and we enjoyed walking to the 5 and 10 and eating at the restaurants in town that are all a very short distance from the property. The house itself is just as described by so many other reviewers: clean, comfortable, and so calming. We enjoyed the large windows, the lovely flowers and the wildlife. The family sat on the deck in the mornings and watched fishermen on the water, tides and fog rolling in and out, and the star filled night skies. We felt so peaceful and relaxed at this home. There’s plenty of space indoors and outdoors to fit a family comfortably. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals. The washer and dryer were also so convenient since we were coming home from the park each day with a lot of laundry. I can’t say enough about this house. I’d recommend it to others with no hesitation. My family and I thank you for a lovely stay and for helping us create lasting memories.

Schoodic Biking and Birding.
The location was perfect to watch seabirds, raptors and songbirds, as well as an occasional seal. Everything you need is available in the house or village, within walking distance. Bicycling the Schoodic Peninsula Loop road and surrounding area is very accessible and safe. This was our second visit to Schoodic View house and we hope to return.

Better then the pictures in post!
Really this place is all about the views ! Sitting on the decks watching the tide come in and out. We had a really cool day of fog rolling in. I wish they would put a bigger bed on the main floor . We didn’t even go into the basement . But that’s my biggest complaint is the small bed. If you’re coming to Maine for the beautiful wilderness this is your spot. It’s super quiet unlike Bar Harbor that’s so busy

Absolutely Charming
As I sit here… trying to find words to express myself This April break getaway was a last minute plan to have some quality time with family. Our stay in this charming cottage was amazing. The tranquility of this property and the small town of Winter Harbor sanitized us of any screen time. Watching the loones chase each playing or diving in and out…Seagulls communicating with each other, the refreshing smell of the harbor and the calming sound of gentle waves…Watching the sun rise over the harbor was a great experience. Local lobstermen setting traps in the early hours of the morning… The cottage was all the three “C”s. Comfy, Clean and Cozy! The host thought of every little detail. It was evident she was committed to make the guests feel at home and comfortable. I have fallen in love with nature all over again, and Winter Harbor, ME! Despite our stay being out of season, we enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will surely come back! I love to travel but I always ache for the comfort of my home in a couple of days. Not this time! Had a hard time leaving this morning… A stay in this cottage is must!!!

Cozy inviting cottage on water of Henry Cove with terrific views of Arcadia's Schoodic Peninusla
Three of us shared this comfortable house, off the beaten path on a quiet cove. The deck and yard overlook the water, and we enjoyed sunrises and sunsets with harbor seals swimming nearby. Kitchen with nicely equipped with basics for for meal preparation and serving. Little touches -- like binoculars and bird books on the table by the large window -- invited us to explore and enjoy the environment. Check-in and check-out were easy, and our host was welcoming and responsive. We hope to return for a longer stay some time soon.

Great getaway on the harbor.
We had a great time at the cottage. Great view of the harbor with lots of wildlife around the property, turkey (4 Tom’s and 6 hens) deer, (buck, doe, young bud buck and young doe), otter, and lots of seabirds. A bit of a drive to the main Acadia Park area but we knew this up front. A great place away from the busy touristy Bar Harbor area. Well stocked kitchen was a plus. We would highly recommend this property.

Charming and quiet cottage
I looked forward to enjoying this property once again with more friends. It is just as charming, quaint and quiet as the first time I visited. I now need to figure out how to get there for a third time ! My friends enjoyed our stay and appreciated the charm as much as I did. Plenty of cookware, plates and cups. We used the washer and dryer. Enjoyed the deck for morning tea and evening star gazing. Had a big rain and wind storm and we were warm and cozy inside. We enjoyed walking to restaurants in town and to the 5 and dime. Also enjoyed the proximity to Schoodic Point. After enjoying Bar Harbor for a day, we were all happy to drive back to the peace and quiet of our cottage. I recommend this cottage to anyone who is considering a visit. It feels like you’re home.

We had a wonderful visit to Winter Harbor at the beginning of August. The cottage was clean and well appointed. So much more space than you think! We had 3 adults and 2 children and had plenty of space to spread out. We loved being able to walk to town or sit on the deck and watch the tide. My mom joined us and she is already looking at returning to this cottage. We highly recommend!

It is exactly as described and was a perfect house to stay in while visiting Arcadia and Bar Harbor. This house is next door to the Schoodic entrance of the park.
