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...

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.

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!

Lovely cottage.

The cottage is beautifully situated close to the water. The cottage is quiet and comfortable. The sea breezes are constant so even a hot spell is pleasant. And the wave action lulls one to sleep.
