Super clean and well appointed
This was a great experience. We didn't realize it was over the garage and the owners were in the cottage behind it. They were gracious and respected our privacy, but I have to admit, I was looking for something a little more private. We were unable to get to down to the water as there was a recent rain and the path was flooded, and the deck railing blocked the view when seated on the deck. We didn't spend much time there as we were out and about taking advantage of the area's offerings, but the cottage is very clean and has everything you need. We saw deer every morning on the property as well as a porcupine, eagles and osprey.

The quietest place in Maine!
Winkle Cottage is the quietest place we've ever stayed! The peace and serenity we enjoyed there were enhanced by the friendliness of our hosts who were very welcoming and made us feel right at home. (The chocolate chip cookies didn't hurt!) The cottage was immaculate but warm and cozy with one of the most comfortable beds this side of The Ritz! The décor was most appropriate for a coastal Maine cottage without being overdone. We had everything we needed for a completely relaxing and stress-free vacation. We'll be back.

Delightful cottage in peaceful setting
We loved our time spent at Winkle Cottage, and Bob and Trisha are fantastic hosts. We had plenty of privacy and space, yet they were available to answer questions and make us feel welcome. The cottage itself is spacious, bright, and has all the comforts of home- comfy bed, sofas to nap on, and a well-stocked kitchen... We loved relaxing out on the deck in the morning, and at the end of a day hiking in the area. We hope to return soon!!
