We had a great stay in Steuben. We loved waking up and having our coffee outside looking at the ocean. The cabin is really beautiful. Thanks for having us in your home
Very clean, beautiful setting. Close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor area for day trips, nice to come back and enjoy quietness and sitting around fire pit in the evening.

House is super clean with nice views of the bay. The kids enjoyed exploring the rocky beach and watching deer eat from the crab apple tree out front.

Awesome, thank you for sharing your experience. We welcome you and your family back anytime and we appreciate the respect you showed our home. Thank you!
Clean well appointed cottage in a beautiful setting. We couldn’t ask for anything more during our visit. One hour plus to Acadia but the ride was easy. Wonderful host. And the views from the cottage were magnificent!
The best rental we have ever had. Beats a hotel room every time and was very comfortable and near everything we wanted to do. Watching the two families of deer and the hummingbirds each day was a real bonus.
The house is in a nice remote location, yet close enough to do a day trip to Acadia. There is plenty to do on the peninsula in its own right though with a rocky beach across the street and hiking/biking.
Wanda’s place was a lovely spot to come back to after a long day of hiking! The kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils and there was an abundance of materials for making fires. The beds were also super comfortable and the washing machine/dryer was awesome to have! Definitely it key recommend :)
Immaculate and comfortable cottage with water view
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this comfortable cottage across from Pigeon Hill Bay. The view is lovely and the location is great- between two different nature spots that we enjoyed visiting. The house is well-furnished and very well cared for. Totally recommend!

The host was delightful. Very communicative and helpful. The welcome book provided a lot of helpful information. While it is a way from Bar Harbor, it provided a great launching point to go to Bar Harbor or to explore farther along the coast.
Windrose Cottage was even nicer than described, and sparkling clean. We appreciated extremely prompt responses from the property manager, and spotted distant porpoises using the provided binoculars. The Acadia Puffin tour was a highlight, as were two well-marked hiking areas nearby. The small working lobster town of Milbridge hosts some great seafood takeout places.

Awesome, happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for your review and for taking great care of our home. Wanda
We had a wonderful time at this cottage. Quiet spot with a rocky beach across the street. Several lightly trafficked trails nearby. Great view. Plenty of yard and driveway for the kids to play! They enjoyed riding their scooters and playing in the woods. What a gem.

Thank you for your review and for taking great care of our cottage!!! Stay well.
We thoroughly enjoyed this house on Pigeon Hill Bay. The house is managed very well and while the rules were extensive, they were pretty much what we would do anyway. We typically leave a house cleaner than we found it but would be hard pressed to do so in this case. Great tips about local places and fun local hikes and food options nearby made for a terrific stay. Thanks!!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback on the house "rules". Some folks need guidance when renting a private home... unfortunately every "rule" has a story behind it :). Many thanks for treating our home with care and respect! My goal is to provide an OCD clean home for your comfort! Thanks again and would love to have you stay again if you find yourselves in our area.

This comfy, spotlessly clean cottage is tucked away on a quiet street directly across from the water. We were able to explore so much: Millbridge, Ellsworth, Hancock, Trenton, Bar Harbor, Acadia (both at Bar Harbor & Schoodic), and lots of unincorporated area. I cannot say enough about how nice this cottage is. Additionally, the host, Wanda, was very helpful and a joy to work with. She even made sure to check in on us when a storm blew through and knocked out the power, which lasted appx. 8 hrs. We will definitely be back on our next Maine trip!
Just a wonderful property and a wonderful location. The house was immaculate and everything was in perfect order. The location was great right across the street from the ocean, but up the hill where there was a nice view and it was a little bit quieter away from the road itself. We enjoyed biking down and hiking in Petit Manan and having larger outings towards Machias and Schoodic. Wonderful long weekend for a family!
We had a great visit and loved the coastal and local feel of the property. The major attractions in the area (Bar Harbor, Acadia, etc.) were about an hour away. Only things we felt were a bit excessive were all the rules and demands for housekeeping. We kept the place tidy and left it as we received it. But if we were charged a cleaning fee why should we have to do all the cleaning before we left? We’re on a vacation, and it should feel that way. Thanks, Cheryl

Hi Cheryl, many thanks for sharing your experience at our home.
It is unfortunate we must post rules and suggestions for folks who may require a bit of guidance when it comes to taking care of a home vs staying at a hotel with full housekeeping services. I have managed and cleaned our properties since 2004 and have come to find not all guests are as thoughtful as you and your group hence the notes to keep them on track. I could write a book on what I have experienced! Mostly good but I have found what sounds like common sense to some is a new concept to others.
Per the correspondence, the cleaning fee insures the house is spotless upon your arrival, looking as though no others have stayed there prior to you. (I have rented many places and wish I could find a comfortably clean home upon arrival).
I will post the check out list going forward for others to see prior to booking. It should take about 15-20 minutes the morning of check out if the house has been maintained during your stay. We do have high expectations and prefer you clean up after yourselves but in no way ask you to clean anything else. I turn the cottage over myself and deep clean between each guest to put it back in pristine condition.
Again many thanks for sharing and I am happy to know you had a great visit and enjoyed our little coastal town. Kind regards, Wanda
Wonderful home, clean, kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, dishes ect.. beautiful scenery, grandson loved picking rocks. Nice and quite,
away from all the "busy life" Definitely recommend.
I thought I saw a gas grill in the pictures, but there wasn’t one during our visit.
The brick base around the wood stove was concerning. We ran into it several times hurting our feet/toes! Ouch!!
Overat. It was a lovely cottage and we enjoyed our stay

Sorry we do not offer a gas grill but we have a very nice charcoal grill, it is stored in the garage near the fire pit wood. I feel bad the stove base was an issue but am happy to hear you enjoyed the cottage overall. It looked lovely on your departure and we appreciate the care you gave it during your stay. Thanks for your review and stay well.
