Beds: 1 Queen, 1 Double, 1 Single
Tastefully furnished, this adorable and cozy home affords wonderful views of all the harbor activities and mountain views beyond. A small marina next door and the comings and goings of area fisherman will certainly give you plenty to see from the Living Room, large deck or the screened-in side porch. A smaller village adjacent to its big sister Bass Harbor, Bernard typifies the unspoiled, working village scene of down east Maine. Bernard is roughly 25 minutes from Acadia National Park’s Cadillac Mountain entrance, and only 10 minutes from Southwest Harbor and Echo Lake for fresh water swimming. Don’t forgot to stop by famed Thurston’s Lobster Pound, just a short walk away.

We truly loved Winswept Retreat. We have had a wonderful time in this adorable home! The view is terrific! Love the home and fantastic location! We hope to be back again to this wonderful home!!!!!
Loved everything about our vacation. Enjoyed Acadia and will return soon. The Knowles Company is first class and would recommend highly. Windswept Retreat exceeded our expectations and I will rent again when we return!
Enjoyed our stay tremendously. Windswept retreat was immaculate and the house was in exceptional condition. Enjoyed our location on the quiet side of the island. All in all a very comfortable and pleasurable stay.
A simply wonderful home and setting. We hated to leave. No detail left unattended to. Extremely quiet place. Amazing mornings. Photos can’t capture how beautiful the location is. Highly recommend the home and the owners.
