Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia Natl. Pk; ferry to Bar Harbor/Ocean - 15 Min. Walk | House in Winter Harbor
3 Bedroom House in Winter Harbor
Winter Harbor is a quaint, lobster fishing working community with charm and amenities that capture the desires of many a sight-seeing vacationer, as well as avid hikers, bikers, kayakers, boaters, photographers, artists, writers, antique and seashell hunters, and for those who just want to have a relaxing get-a-way.
Cheerful, comfortable, close, convenient…all describe our home nestled in this quaint fishing village where one can enjoy what Maine has to offer and then return to a quiet home where only Maine’s birds or a harbor’s foghorn can be heard so one can relax, reflect and rest up for a new day of adventures.
There are 3 bedrooms, all eclectically decorated with Maine themes, country quilts, artwork, antiques to provide that pleasurable “visiting grandma’s” venue yet still incorporating today’s amenities of a newly updated galley kitchen complete with local Deer Isle granite countertops with bar seating, microwave, refrigerator, ceramic cook-top, coffee maker, toaster, small oven/broiler, pots, pans, china, glassware, silverware, washer/dryer. Our open concept dining/living room features TV w/DVD & VCR player, movie library, radio/CD player, and wireless internet. Bed linens, towels, paper products, shampoo/condtioner are provided. There are 2 full bathrooms, one on each floor.
On our back porch, one can enjoy having a private moment with morning coffee and a book. Or have a BBQ or lobster out on our outdoor grill located on our lovely, stone patio with a 3- foot round, stone fire-pit. There is an awesome playground across from our home that our young visitors would certainly enjoy and parents can view easily from our home. There is also a basketball hoop nearby as well. We are on the end of a dead-end street so traffic is very limited. We also have board games, chess, backgammon, checkers, playing cards, and outdoor toys for those who would like to partake.
Ocean viewing and wading/swimming are right in town in walking distance from the house. There is also lake swimming close by for your refreshment and enjoyment.
Kayaks and bicycles can be rented easily from locations mentioned in our “Welcome to our Home” book as well as other attractions, ferry & bus schedules, shops, hikes and of course the magnificent Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Peninsula whose entrance is a short 5 minute drive from our house and covers nearly 2500 acres where sightseeing, hiking, biking, picnicking are all there for your enjoyment. One might even spy a bald eagle fly by.
A free excursion bus sponsored by LLBean picks up passengers at the end of our road at Rte. 186 to take folks around Winter Harbor and Schoodic Peninsula throughout the day during the summer season allowing passengers to get off the bus at a spot and be picked up later on another bus run. We are a few minutes’ walk to the ocean, restaurants, grocery store, lobster pounds, post office, public library, historic society museum, artists’ studios, bank, farmers’ market, a unique 5&10 cent store, ice cream parlor, antique and handmade artisan crafts shops.
The nearby Bar Harbor Ferry on Sargent St. (walking distance away, .2 mi ) can take you over to Bar Harbor which serves as a leisurely transportation vehicle as well as a sight-seeing boat ride on one of the prettiest bays in Maine. Plus, one can get to see eagles, ospreys, porpoises, dolphins, seals, pilot whales along the way! There is also a public boat launch, golf course, and our historic Hammond Hall where many varied, live entertainment performances are held throughout the year, several restaurants, lobster co-ops, farmer's market, free LLBean buses tour thru Schoodic Peninsula —all just moments away from our doorstep!
Swimming is available off the rocky shores or one can seek enjoyment at Jones and Flanders Ponds with their sandy beaches and fresh waters which are just a short distance away where one can do some swimming, boating and fishing (permits required). Also, the area has vineyards hosting tours and tastings, historic buildings, unique shops, a variety of eateries, other quaint fishing villages, art galleries, antique shops, hiking trails, educational science and environmental centers, and more of Maine’s beautiful coastline, mountains and lakes…all beckoning folks to come and explore.
Out on Schoodic Peninsula one can drive, bike, walk, hike, picnic, explore the rugged coastline especially at the Point where the Atlantic Ocean crashes upon its rocky coast ( this is a must see to enjoy this beautiful Maine nature). Visit the Acadia Nat'l Park ranger station where one can learn more about the natural elements in this area, it's history, upcoming events and more.
