Brookhouse is well-priced, comfortable and nicely outfitted for our family of four, with the bonus of a waterfront yard offering a view that should be in a magazine. It offers easy access to a bunch of harbor towns and is minutes from the less busy section of ANP. It was also perfect to be a short drive or ferry ride to Bar Harbor, but then to return to such a peaceful, private house. Next time we come, we plan to spend more days just sitting in the yard on the waterfront - reading, monitoring the tides, watching the wildlife, exploring the rocks, and listening to the brook water rolling into the cove. Janet is a great communicator and provided us with marked maps with recommended places to visit that were right on! Thanks!

Great little cottage with fantastic views and well stocked. Note that if you plan to spend a lot of time hiking, etc. in Acadia/Bar Harbor it is a hour or more drive. We enjoyed our stay.

Our second stay here was a repeat of 2023…everything was perfect. Cottage is beautiful and comfortable with everything we needed to have a great stay. The harbor is beautiful and peaceful. Watching the rising and falling tides accompanied by visits from gulls, an eagle and cormorants is a method of attaining temporary peace that can’t be duplicated. The Schoodic peninsula is a quiet alternative to MDI which has become an area overrun by folks seeking solitude which can’t be found there any longer. This one in prospect harbor is a gem worth a long look!!

This cottage is in a perfect location to enjoy the Schoodic Peninsula and areas nearby - easy access to lots of trails, the town of winter harbor, and areas further east. Many places were closed because we were there after the long October weekend, but we were happy with how quiet things were. The entire home is well-equipped, the beds are comfortable (a must for our aging bodies), and the host was super easy to communicate with. The living room also has comfortable furniture and the view is gorgeous! It was a great spot to enjoy morning coffee and to just sit and read later in the day. Although we didn't use the outdoor space because of the cold weather, it would be another peaceful and beautiful place to hang out. On the Schoodic peninsula, we particularly enjoyed the Schoodic Mountain and the Schoodic Head trails for hiking, and Raven's point for the sunset. A little further east, we liked the Petit Manan Wild Life Refuge trails - beautiful woodland and coastal views, and easier hiking than the steeper Schoodic trails. Many of the things we enjoyed most came as recommendations from the friendly locals we met - it is a great place!

I was needing some quiet and slow paced time and I certainly got that at Brook House. I didn’t get in my car for the first four days of my two week stay. I had the gorgeous view of the harbor to watch with the the tides coming and going, each day a different scene. Brook House is as lovely as the views. I was there right after a hurricane. The brook along the side of the cottage was raging for days. Very exciting! One day a bald eagle swooped down and grabbed something from out of the brook, just a few feet from the picture window. My dog and I went for walks right from the cottage along the roads with few or no cars. Walking to the lighthouse was a favorite. This is a “get away from it all” place. No crowds, no shopping malls, just a few small villages, shops, and the Schoodic Peninsula for rocky shoreline views, hiking, birdwatching, biking, and more. Thanks Janet, for providing such a comfortable and clean cottage. Everything I needed was right there. Loved my stay at Brook House. I’m already booked for two weeks next year.

The house was great inside and out. The view was amazing and the location made it easy to get to the places we love to visit. Hated to leave but plan on coming back.
