First, I was not given any instructions on how to enter the house. I sent messages via VRBO and attempted calling the owner without a response. Thankfully I was able to locate a local number for the owner and was able to get the door code at 9:30pm. I found a hypodermic needle on top of the refrigerator. We had a mouse in the living room. When I texted the number we found for the owner, I never got a response as to getting mouse traps. We ended up getting our own. The description did not mention the house did not have an AC unit. A couple of the days got in the upper 70’s and the upstairs bedrooms would not cool down at night. Additionally, larger individuals would not do well in the shower. It is an extremely small shower. I am not a large person but still did not have enough room. And the town requires special bags or tags for trash pick up. The owners do not provide this to the renters which in my opinion should be a given, instead they suggest buying them from their 5 & 10 store. We made it work and was able to use the house. It was a cute rustic home and the locals were very nice. I just expected better communication from the owners, especially given we had some issues.

We enjoyed our stay in this perfectly located, comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood. It was a wonderful place to return to at the end of our days filled with adventures and exploration.

We felt right at home in this quaint and beautiful little house. We had everything we needed to make us comfortable. Extra-comfy beds and comforters for best sleep, too. There are so many places to visit and so many things to do nearby. Great restaurants like the Pickled Wrinkle and Crocker House (Hancock), Schoodic Point for hiking, biking, and picnicking, Grindstone Neck for rocky beaches, of course--the golf course with ocean views, Acadia on Mt Desert Island, 180 degree view of the coast from Pigeon Hill in Steuben, the cozy library, the beautiful harbor villages. Need to stay longer to fit in more fun times, like a ferry to Bar Harbor or a boat ride in Blue Hill. Next time! Perfect peaceful spot for a relaxing stay.

This was a beautiful, comfortable home for our family of four. My parents came to visit and there was plenty of room for all of us. We loved exploring Winter Harbor and the Schoodic peninsula--such incredible beauty without the crowds of Mount Desert Island.

House was very comfortable and addition added gave extra space to relax and watch sun rise. House was well equipped with dishes and linens so we did not have to pack our own items. We loved our relaxing stay in Winter Harbor.

Could not found a better location to find access to all the Maine coast has to offer.

Very relaxing and peaceful. Home is very well maintained. Great view of harbor ! The owner is very nice and takes great pride in this home and his community.

Beautifully restored, historic house makes you feel a real part of this charming, low-key, friendly town. The proximity to Schoodic Point for biking, birding, photography, and ocean watching is wonderful. We didn't even go to Acadia on MDI this year - Schoodic has what we value most (beauty, outdoor activities) without the crowds.
