Lovely, private space- everything you need for relaxing vacation.
Nice deck, comfy bed, kitchen outfitted with all you need to eat in - but also a 2 minute walk to The Common Good - open 6 days a week with popovers, coffee and other simple breakfast items - all for a donation of you choosing.
The hosts were wonderful - communication was great and the space was as described - we would love to return!
We enjoyed our week in Southwest Harbor, the "The Quiet Side" of Mount Desert Island. A short walk to several cafes and restaurants as well as close proximity to two Lobster Pounds. Our cottage was beautifully decorated and compact. We did very little cooking, but enjoyed breakfast and snacks indoors or on the little porch outside the room. Our hosts were very accessible and friendly.
Room was great. quiet and cozy. Plenty of space. Had everything we needed. We had the best time. Food was close and taste great in the area. Not far from Acadia National Park. We biked the trails, hiked the north ridge of cadillac mnt and kayak on Long Pond. So much to do. Seen a few lighthouses too. Its a must to vacation here.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Acadia by staying in one of Patti's villa's in Southwest Harbor. The villa was clean and perfect for us or any couple. Southwest Harbor isn't as crowded as Bar Harbor and more peaceful. Navigating and driving in and around Acadia and Mount Desert Island is very easy. About a 20 minute drive from our villa to downtown Bar Harbor. The park and area are beautiful; and hopefully somewhere we will return to in the future. Patti was great to answer any questions and quick to respond. Great stay.
Nice place to stay, great location in Southwest Harbor
The apartment was tastefully decorated. It had a decent kitchen with pretty much everything we needed. We would suggest the host get some bigger mugs, and better silverware.
Being able to hang out on the front "porch" area, or outside of the sliding door in the kitchen was nice.
The only reason I didn't give a five star overall rating was that the king size bed was too soft and it sagged in the middle.
The owners are quick to respond to requests.
We loved our stay at the Garden Terrace! We spent four nights here on a trip to visit Acadia NP. The entire property, from the grounds to our individual unit, were in top shape. The room was very clean and the bedroom and living room/kitchen were actually bigger than I expected. We enjoyed sitting on our patio looking into the garden, which is full of various plants. Patti was very easily accessible, although I only ever needed to call her to ask for some dish soap, which she very promptly brought to us. We also loved the town of Southwest Harbor (much more than touristy Bar Harbor)! We ate 3/4 dinners here â two at Bealâs Lobster Pier and one at Harbor and Hearth. We absolutely each of our meals and loved that we could walk to the restaurants. Definitely eat at these two establishments if you do book this property! We would definitely recommend this property to friends/family and would stay here again if we returned.
Comfortable, clean and well accessorized apartment in Southwest Harbor. Easy walk to downtown shops, restaurant and museums. and a short drive to many Acadia Hiking trails on the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island. Bar Harbor 1/2 hour away.
We prepared meals on site by ordering 1 meal from MDI seafood and cooking vegetables we brought.
Walked to Common Good Cafe. Library and shops on main Street.
My husband and I enjoyed this cozy unit that was part of a B&B in Southwest Harbor, ME. The unit is not part of the main house, so we felt like we had more privacy than you might otherwise get at a B&B. This was also nice for other guests since I had to leave early each morning to attend my medical conference. The lodging is a very short walk from the downtown area so we didnât have to drive anywhere to enjoy dining or shopping options. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in Maine. It was about a 30 minute drive from Bar Harbor, but my husband and I felt it was worth this drive because the area of Southwest Harbor is much less crowded during the busy summer months.
Although not officially a cottage, the apartment had the soft feel and comfort of one. Patti was a lovely, attentive hostess who responded to my emails right away and the apartment had all the conveniences for a long stay. I especially enjoyed the outdoor covered porch with table and chairs where I took my morning coffee and enjoyed some good reads.
I would come again and recommen
Within walking distance of the village and some seafood docks the Inn is in a great location. The room has all you need and the porch/garden is a nice bonus. The hosts had some hiking tips and
a few laughs as well.
Clean & cozy cottage feeling! Everything we needed was available there. King bed very comfy. Even had a basket of homemade cookies waiting for us. Thank you Patti.
we had a very good time. The place was very comfortable. Felt very homely. Very clean, tidy and well organized. Every thing needed was available in the house. Its one of the best places we stayed , we will recommend to any one going to Maine to select this place to stay. Host is very helpful and friendly. Place is very close harbor, Acadia National Park. Shops are very close and parking is very convenient. We will certainly pick this place when we go next time to Maine.
We spent five nights at this spacious Inn. It was very quiet and very comfortable. The walk to town is easy and short. We highly recommend this place. Our hosts were very pleasant!
Perfect location on the quiet side of Acadia Nat. Park
Within walking distance to downtown Southwest Harbor, very quiet and very comfortable VRBO. The Garden Suite had everything we needed and we really enjoyed our stay there.
The location is perfect to explore all that Mt. Desert Island offers, staying in the quiet side of the park is delightful!
Very clean and everything we needed. Comfortable king bed with nice linens. Full size frig, cooktop, microwave, coffee maker all good. The only sort of negative is the drive to Acadia about 10-15 miles. The delicious cookies when we arrived was a special treat.
We liked the location of the Inn. We liked being able to make ourselves breakfast as we had odd ours with our Acadia Hiking. We were not sure if they were booking the Inn anymore as the sign said no vacancy but it did not seem full. Very quiet except crows...lol. Would like to come back with friends so we wondered about the other rooms. Thank you for the cookies!
Very easy to find. All the comforts of a bungalow style accommodations. Very well organized kitchen. Close to Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor. Close to food market & gas station. Patti & Gerry are right on top of any of your needs & questions. Absolutely great to wake up to sun peeking through the blinds & this morning my daughter was able to photograph a beautiful dawn nibbling on the apples about 6ft away from our door! Perfect end to a perfect stay!đđđđđ
