The home was perfect. We enjoyed coming home from a long day and hanging out on the front porch. We sat and enjoyed the breeze and talked. Beds were comfortable.
We were very comfortable in this beautiful, immaculate, well equipped home. Location is great, about 1/2 hour from the main entrance to Acadia and close to the town of Southwest Harbor. The hosts were very accommodating and got back to us very quickly on the few questions we had. Would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.
The property was quaint and peaceful while being close to Southwest Harbor attractions, quiet side hiking, and only a 30 minute drive to Bar Harbor and and the main Acadia attractions. The property was clean and spacious. It was truly a wonderful time.(All photos are taken from the trails near the property).
This was my first time in Maine and it was a great experience. The house was perfect, felt like home. The location was awesome, close enough to the busy Bar Harbor and park entrances but remote enough to relax. Ian was quick to respond to any question I had. Would definitely recommend the sunrise hike up Cadillac Mountain!
Nothing beats MDI and staying at Ianâs place was wonderful
The location is perfect to access all the fun MDI has to offer.
Eating out can be a pocket punch so the well appointed kitchen and grill are a plus
Canât wait to go back
Very clean place. The home was simple, but had all the things needed for a comfortable stay. I appreciated the nice stove, sharp knives, and comfortable dining room table. The fire pit in the backyard was a really peaceful spot as well.
Nicely renovated 2-story farmhouse close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Beds are comfortable, although smaller bedrooms lack storage space for clothes. nice spaces inside, including large dining room with a table for 6 and a sunroom. House was clean with lots of windows.
A great week with the family in Southeast Harbor. We enjoyed the tranquility of the house, but the proximity to town. The house was clean and comfortable and the family of deer in the garden was a bonus.
The house is very nice and clean. Plenty of space for our family of 5. Minor complaint would be the outside shrubs around the house were overgrown and some weeds could be pulled.
This house worked out splendidly for our family with adult children. Great location close to the national park and many hiking spots.
Perfect place to spread out, enjoy a home cooked meal and play cards. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen and the comfortable beds. Fire pit area was another great family gathering addition. Plenty of space for yard games as well.
Amazing location and very comfortable house. The only things that were odd were only full bath on 2nd floor (where all bedrooms located) is in master & very difficult to find the house from the street - it would be helpful to have a more clearly marked house number since privacy shrubs block the entire house
We enjoyed the quieter side. The hikes, the restaurants, the scenery. Bass Harbor lighthouse is very close and is that iconic Maine postcard.
Deer in the yard every morning. Easy to get around the area and not bad getting to core Acadia or Bar harbor.
Thanks!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. We spent 3 days enjoying the area; hiking in Acadia, browsing shops in Bar Harbor and eating lots of Maine lobster-(btw, Bealâs in Southwest Harbor lobster rolls 10/10).
The location is nice with a spacious, tranquil yard. A few deer wandered through the yard briefly at dawn and dusk, along with many songbirds. It felt relaxing.
The cottage is roomy with lots of seating, beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. We would stay again.
Visited with family, including my wife and 3 sons (21,19,15). They loved the place after a long day of hiking. Local restaurants were great, grocery store nearby and the location was 30 minutes from Bar Harbor and 10 minutes from Western Acadia (Echo Lake, Acadia Mtn). Appliances seemed new, especially for laundry. I would recommend for a family interested in quiet side instead of Bar Harbor.
The house was very clean and comfortable, and the location was quiet. We were there in late September so it may be a little louder during the summer months? Itâs not in the heart of the tourist area, which is nice.
The owner was quick to answer our questions.
Thank you!
Rented this property for 3 days for the second part of our trip in Maine. It was perfect for our family of four.
Wanted the convenience of staying in a home with all the amenities a house has to offer. Downtown Bar Harbor is about 17 miles away. The property is located in Southwest Harbor. Even though we didnât get time to explore the town of Southwest Harbor we always enjoy our time in Maine! Canât wait to revisit Maine again!
Very nice warm and welcoming house. Very clean! We had everything we needed in every room. The couches and beds are comfortable. There is even a bunch of pamphlets, books and magazines on traveling in the area. I would have preferred that the one bathroom upstairs not be ensuite to the master bedroom. But overall we are very satisfied and would come back
We purchased this house in 2001 and have been spending summers here ever since. We cannot imagine a better place to spend the summer. From hiking to boating Mount Desert Island is a place you will want to comeback to time and again. We hope you will enjoy the house and area as much as we have.
