The scent of ocean and breezy salt air welcomes you to the Towns of Gouldsboro, Corea and Winter Harbor located on the Schoodic Peninsula. The community offers visitors a spectacular coastline and encapsulates scenic views through parts of Acadia National Park. Several picturesque villages and harbors offer a glimpse of the working waterfronts, from lobster fishing to sailing. The quiet and peaceful community shines with several restaurants, kayaking tours, monthly concerts, lobster dinners, antiques, a bell foundry and pottery, art, craft and woodworking shops. Visit and enjoy relaxing sunrises and some of the most remarkable sunsets.

Acadia has new trails in Winter Harbor 8.5 miles of new biking paths and 4 miles of new hiking trails. The parking area is on Schoodic Loop Road, about 1 mile south of Route 186 in Winter Harbor.

The house was amazing and very well-equipped with everything we could have possibly needed. The multiple kayaks, canoes, life vests, fire pit and huge yard made our stay fun & relaxing! The only reason why I'm giving the overall stay 4 stars has nothing to do with the owners or the house - the Green Head Flies were a bit much at certain times of the day. It made any water activity slightly annoying. However, this was just a small part of our time there. We were there towards the end of July. Perhaps there's a specific time-frame that the green heads are active. Every other part of our stay there was fantastic. We were able to take a quick 45 minute ferry to Bar Harbor or drive there in about an hour, which made accessing Acadia very easy. The owners were amazing, Phil answered questions immediately and the house was so beautiful with ample space and all needs were easily met. I highly recommend this beautiful spot!

Our family had such a memorable time while staying at this house. We drove the hour long drive to Acadia Nat’l Park/Bar Harbor area twice even though our young adult sons would have been happy to meet the days high tide on the bay in the kayaks. The views at Acadia, Schoodic Peninsula and from the living area in the house were all beautiful. Phil and Kim were great and we would love to stay here again!

Home was clean and nicely decorated. Furniture was clean and in good condition. 4 stars for listing accuracy because the high chair wasn't in the house. The owner promptly got it for us once requested and we felt the access for kayaking was difficult. The kayaks were in the yard and there were no stairs or dock leading from the yard to the bay, just a steep path with large loose stones. Nice outdoor area but mosquitoes were bad so we didn't get to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. Very nice grill on deck. Kitchen and baths were well stocked.
