Vacation Rental Description

Brand New warm, cozy and beautiful vacation rental cottage located in Winter Harbor. You've heard of 
the 3 season location.  This is even better.   Sort of a three location vacation.   Enjoy being near 
the ocean, the feeling of being in a cottage out in the countryside and yet you are right in town 
(sort of).  

The interior has an open ceiling.. In addition some of the walls have been left so that the natural 
wood is visible to give it that just the right ambiance. Except for the bathroom the floors are 
natural eastern white pine finished the old fashioned way with tung oil. 

I built this the way I wanted it, a place having the illusion of being rustic yet beautiful and with 
all the comforts and conveniences of home. Pictures don't really don't do it justice. You have to 
see it, especially in the evenings. 

So, if you are like me. You want something special. You don't want to walk into a rental that looks 
like the house you just left. Then this may be the place for you also.

etc.).

To sum it up - The cottage is completely furnished (and decorated) with everything we can think of 
that you may need even including complimentary items that you may forget like coffee, tea, 
toothpaste, shampoo, razor and more. As like our other rentals we try not to do things just half 
right.

Activities and Attractions

The Schoodic Point section of Acadia National Park in the small fishing village of Winter Harbor has 
one of the most beautiful rocky stretches of coastline in the whole state or for that matter the 
country. Explore the Peninsula with its many beauties and relaxed pace. Enjoy the local seafood, 
explore the old fashioned 5&10, shop the grocery store, craft, art & antique shops.  Bike the park 
or hike its trails. Oops, I forgot to mention the nine hole golf course on Grindstone neck that 
overlooks our harbor on one side and Frenchmans bay on the other. There are allot of things to see 
here on the quiet side of the bay. 

About a mile from the cottage is the entrance to the Schoodic Point section of Acadia National Park. 
The first thing you will come to after you enter the park is Fraziers Point public picnic area 
overlooking the harbor and town. There are a couple really private spots that are great for just 
sitting around the fire in the evening and listening to the waves lapping the shore. There is a pier 
with a float attached that many fish for mackeral, bluefish and stripers when they run. Anyway, from 
here you'll see spectacular views of the mountains, Mark Island Lighthouse and you can watch the 
harbor porpoises, loons, eagles, ospreys, gulls, terns and of course the lobstermen pulling in the 
days catch. If you are lucky you might see a whale. The vistas are nothing less than magnificent and 
many have spent the entire vacations right there. I know I've spent enough time there. The gray and 
pink granite coastline is a sight you won't soon forget. Next, hike or drive to the top of Schoodic 
Mountain to see some breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. When you get out to the point relax or 
picnic and gaze straight out into the Atlantic Ocean. It can be really spectacular if there has been 
a storm at sea. People will come from all around to watch the waves break over the rocks. 

For freshwater swimming, canoeing or fishing for landlocked salmon, brook trout, lake trout and bass 
try Jones Pond.  There is another lake close-by that I can tell you about when you get here but I 
would never talk about it in detail on the internet.  It is about a miles walk down a path and 
through the woods. Has a sandy beach from which you look right out over the lake with a mountain 
rising behind it. It is a hike but once you are there it's remote, quiet and flat out gorgeous. 

If you just can't get relaxed and need a little more excitement you can always take the ferry to Bar 
Harbor. Along the way you round many small islands. If you go early in the morning you might see 
deer coming out to the rocks to lick the salt. You might also see a deer or moose swimming between 
land and the islands. Moose regularly swim clear across the bay.  And finally let's not forget, some 
of the cottages, cabins and camps out there on the islands can really take you back to a different 
era.   It's a really beautiful trip and the views from the ocean give you an entirely different 
perspective. 

For more information, better pics and current availability just email or call and have a great 
vacation wherever you find yourselves.
