Summary: Acadia Park Suites #1 This first floor suite is newly renovated and newly decorated with an upscale, trendy vibe. The property is located on the "quiet side" of Mt. Desert Island, and is right next to Acadia National Park! You are within minutes of restaurants, trails, and all of the amenities. Have coffee on the spacious deck! Walk to breakfast nearby, get an early hike in, or drive to downtown Bar Harbor for the touristy experience. You are in the right place!
The Space: This first floor apartment has a queen sized bed, and lots of space and natural light. The gorgeous bathroom with a walk in shower is off of the bedroom side of the suite. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans and dishes for those meals at home. The cool bar type table seperates the space between the kitchen and bedroom. There is a smart TV, internet, and a portable AC for those warmer days. You will love being so close to hiking, restaurants and the quaint village of Southwest Harbor.
This apartment was a great spot to enjoy desert island Maine. Itâs a short walk from a small, cute town, and is a clean, cozy place to relax. It is well stocked with things you may need (coffee filtered, linens, crockeryâthough Iâd clean everything before using itâ and cleaning supplies) The bed is great, and the space is used creatively. Susan was responsive and very kind. The location is pretty good, with Acadia only a 30 minute drive away. As others have noted, it gets very bright in the mornings, so plan to rise early. There is also no grill available, as the listing has claimed, so plan accordingly. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.
We enjoyed our time here and visiting Acadia National Park. This is the quiet side - but there are plenty of delicious restaurants walking distance.
There is a bit of a musty smell at times, as others have noted.
Overall - would stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay in this cute little studio apt. It was very clean.Susan was very helpful and prompt in replying to any questions I had. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
My spouse and I loved the unit. Itâs pristine, the bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked, the bathroom majestic. Very close to Southwest Harbor, Wonderland and a 20-30 minutes drive to Acadia. We would stay here again.
This location was a perfect spot for 2 people! We loved staying in SW Harbor and on the quiet side of the Island. This cute little spot had everything we needed to cook a quick meal, and lay our head down at night.
Quaint little first floor apartment was perfect for the two of us. Easy access to the property and many restaurants and local shops. Definitely would stay here again and highly recommend.
Thanks for the wonderful week!

Great newly renovated lower level unit in great location in SW harbor. Great location right off Main St, minutes from hikes and 30 min from heart of Acadia but without Bar Harbor crowds.
We enjoyed our stay in southwest harbor. This property was clean and a short walk into town. Also only a short drive to the hiking trails of Acadia mountain. The downside is it is right on the main road so you hear a decent amount of car traffic. Also being on the first floor, you can hear your neighbors above.
Our stay was great! We had a lot of fun sightseeing and exploring! The apartment was fine. There is definitely some type of moisture problem that causes a distinctive odor. Otherwise it was great! Another suggestion would be some type of comfortable furniture to sit on aside from the bed! Overall, great stay!
The place was the perfect space for just the two of us going in and out after long days of hiking. We did not personally cook but the kitchen had all the essentials if needed to do so. It is on a main road though, my husband is a light sleeper and you could hear the cars all night along with seeing their headlights at all hours. All in all though, itâs in very close proximity to trails, coffee shops, and more. Would recommend to stay!
The quaint blue cottage in Main Street is in walking distance to the town of Southwest Harbor. The house is clean, has an extremely comfortable queen bed, and a fantastic shower. Susan was super responsive with getting us extra towels. My only complaint is the traffic noise and headlights that would shine through the blinds. If the owner would add some blackout curtains this would help with the light coming through the windows.
The location was pretty good. Easy driving access to what we wanted to do. The inside of the place is absolutely cute.. the outside meaning the deck has no view of anything. The grill (gas) had no ignition switxh to light. I did not see any other grill on the property, so i dont believe there is one. Also, it was my first time in Maine and it is a beautiful place. Very green. I thought i would see more flowers outside, even wild flowers., but did not. I feel the outside of the property can be dressed up a little more but honestly it was a beautiful state and very convenient place
Place is cute. Cleaning people need to use something else to clean mold in shower and toilet because we had pink mold from the first day in shower and second day in toilet. Plus the landscaping out front should of been cleaned up and the back porch could use some tlc. The noise from the traffic is very noticeable inside while trying to sleep. Having a code lock on front door would of been more convenient to get into the house then always going to the back door to get in. One last thing is the AC would not come on at all and it was on a temporary hold the whole time we were there. I asked for assistance to the lady that came by but never heard anything back. Iâm only telling you these things for your information to help with changes you might want to consider.
Clean, comfortable place with fully functional kitchen and a nice bathroom. Lots of natural light from windows and a pleasant porch (most of which is covered) with chairs for reading or relaxing. The only downside is that it can be somewhat noisy. The house is located on a busy road and if I didn't sleep with ear plugs in, I would wake up quite early to the sounds of traffic. There also isn't much sound insulation between this ground-level apartment and the one above it, so I could often hear the footsteps and conversations of the people staying upstairs. Overall a great place, and would definitely recommend it to those who can tolerate some noise.
