We had a great stay here! It is large, clean, and very comfortable. Location near Southwest Harbor is great for those wishing for a quieter retreat. The town has everything you need (restaurants, lobster pier, cute shops, ice cream, groceries) without the tourist crowds. Hosts were helpful with all our questions!
We had a very nice time staying here. Everything was very clean and spacious. Great location for food and attractions. We will definitely be coming back.
This is a stunning specious house surrounded by a forest. The hosts thought of every little detail in this house, including books and games. More than recommended!
Our group very much enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and well-kept, and there is plenty of room inside and outside (including a large back deck and yard) for a small or large group to relax. The hosts Sarah and Paul were warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this property and would happily stay again on our next visit to Mt. Desert Island.
The house was very roomy and comfortable. Lots of space for everyone. Having a bathroom in each bedroom is a benefit. Great access to all of Mt. Desert Island.
We especially loved the beautiful outdoor space in back where we spent our early morning hours enjoying some coffee and quiet time with the birds and squirrels! The house was lovely, and beds luxuriously comfy. Highly recommend this property!
My husband and I spent an idyllic few days at this immaculate and roomy home. We agreed that it's one of the best rentals we've experienced. The house had absolutely everything we needed and the decor was lovely. Sarah and Paul could not have been kinder or more responsive. We'd love to stay here again.
This house was perfect for our family trip to Acadia. The set up worked really well and it was both secluded and convenient to all that the park has to offer. Highly recommend.
We are a group of 4 adults that visited Maine for a week of photography, sight seeing, and eating. This house was a perfect base for us, as it got us out of the congestion in Bar Harbor without having to drive too far away. We had fun dining and shopping in Southwest Harbor and visiting various sites in Acadia Natl Park. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. They provided answers to all of our questions. We would absolutely return to this house for any future trips in the area.
This was our first visit to Maine, and we had a great time. This home was a perfect base to explore Mt. Desert island/Acadia National Park for 11 days in May 2024. It is a lovely place to stay- welcoming, well- furnished, well appointed, and lots of room for family, with three very nice bedrooms and attached baths. The hosts are attentive, but not at all intrusive. Great spot!
All enjoyed this house immensely. Super comfortable. Quiet location, and convenient. Super clean, all the conveniences necessary. Very generous with supplies. Even had crate and bowls for our furry son. Hope to return soon.
We have stayed here for 3 consecutive years and everything remains great with this property and accommodating our family including a dog. Great location, away from major roads on a nice side street in a quiet neighborhood. Fantastic layout of the house with really good soundproofing in the walls!
Lovely lovely home - very spacious, clean and relaxing with all the amenities you may need. About 20-30 min very scenic drive to some areas of Acadia and the town of Bar Harbor, and 10-15 min scenic drive to the south west side of Acadia and the town/restaurants of Southwest Harbor. Sarah and Paul are excellent hosts and we would highly recommend this rental! (And dog friendly too!)
My husband and I moved to the area in 2015 due to job relocation and absolutely fell in love with the area. We enjoy opening our home to people from all over the world to allow others to experience the true beauty that Mount Desert Island has to offer.
Our home is located on what locals call "The Quietside"--not in the hustle bustle of Bar Harbor tourism but just a short drive away. It's close to various access points to Acadia National Park such as Long Pond (1 mile away), Echo Lake (short 3 minute drive), Bass Harbor Head Light House and Seawall, to name a few. The town of Southwest Harbor also has many restaurants and some cute little shops. After a long day of adventure and/or shopping that the Island has to offer, it's lovely to come home to a calm, relaxing environment and sit in the sun room with a cup of coffee to enjoy the wild life in the back yard.
