Live like the locals in our stunning seaside community!
This newly renovated Captains Cottage which overlooks Frenchmans Bay with stunning views of Cadillac Mountain has been a part of our family for 4 generations, and is now ready for your arrival.

Sleeping 6 comfortably this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home features on-site washer & dryer, 3 car parking, a backyard with BBQ grill and room for horseshoes or just relax and watch the sunsets. Walking distance to restaurants, grocery store, Bar Harbor Ferry, post office, and of course our store, the Winter Harbor 5 &10.
Bring your bike(rentals are available in the area)and ride around our lovely town or take a trip around Schoodic point. This is also a great place to go kayaking. Paddle out to an offshore island or just meander along the shore and inlets. The is also a 9 hole golf course in town and every hole has a view of the ocean.
Winter Harbor is a working fishing community and summer playground. We are located on the tip of the Schoodic Peninsula at the entrance to Acadia National Park, Schoodic Section, a must see for those visiting Maine. Visit us in August and experience the Annual Lobster Festival on the 2nd Saturday of the month. Where live music, a craft fair, parade, boat races & of course lobsters are the main event and shut down the town streets for the event.
The Schoodic section of Acadia National Park is home to the Schoodic Education and Research Center. This is the only mainland section of Acadia National Park and is known for it's rocky point where during storms the waves can produce 60ft tall walls of ocean spray.
Around the first 2 weeks of August the area host the Schoodic Arts festival (check their web site for exact dates).
The Schoodic peninsula is also the home to many local crafts people and artists. We have everything from jewelry made of sea glass to Art galleries with fine paintings.
Quote from Arthur Frommer
' I prefer going to a local real estate broker, one with limited inventory that they have themselves inspected. By simply accessing the internet, and scanning the options in a town you have chosen, you have a good chance to find a reputable agent, as I recently did. He was Peter Drinkwater of the small but exquisite waterfront town of Winter Harbor, Maine, who--with his wife Sandy--owns the Captain Bickford House (where we stayed) and also finds other such house rentals for persons calling or inquiring about his main property (P.O. Box 340, Winter Harbor, Maine 04693, 207/963-2710, wh5n10@myfairpoint.net).'

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: The lovely old, yet quite modern, Captain Bickford House in Winter Harbor was an ideal place to see all the sights, yet have a nice, quiet place to come "home" to after a busy day of seeing Mid-Coast and Downeast Maine. Acadia National Park is a 45-minute drive away, but you have your own piece of it just 5 minutes away in the Schoodic Peninsula - a much more peaceful, relaxed and enjoyable place to be. Add to that the loads of galleries and artists, stunning views around every bend, and a major airport (Bangor) only an hour away, and this is the ideal place to be! P.S. Be sure to walk over to Chase's for breakfast (or lunch or dinner) for some of the best blueberry pancakes this side of the Mississippi!

Summary: This was our 2nd stay @ Captain Bickford House and we will definitely be back. House is very comfortable, clean and lots of thoughtful touches. Love the area...the town of Winter Harbor and Grindstone Neck in particular.
