Summary: The perfect place for our family of four, with two teenagers, to rest up from our day adventures exploring Acadia national park for the first time! I cannot say enough good things about this house and host. It was so clean and relaxing and Ashley answered all of my questions! Ps, look for seals in the harbor at sunset/low tide what a treat to see right down the street! I will miss this place and hope to return!

Summary: The house is perfect for a visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Location is close to all the highlights of the park and in a quiet neighborhood. The view of the harbor is super. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard which was a bonus. The property is full of character and has great charm. The living space and bedrooms are spacious. The kitchen has everything you need, just bring your groceries. Due to the weather we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor area, but the back deck and front porch are nice both with nice views. There are several nice places to eat within walking distance.

Summary: Beautiful house with plenty of room for two adults, two kids, and our Golden Retriever. Quiet neighborhood, but very close to restaurants and downtown including the Wendell Gilley Museum. We found hiking nearby, and Bar Harbor was only about 20 minutes away. We would stay here again!

Summary: Excellent base from which to explore the entire island. We are always finding new hikes/adventures every time we visit. The dogs feel comfortable here as well. Great fenced in back yard is a big plus for them!

Summary: 4 senior adults and two standard poodles. We all really enjoyed our stay (four nights). Place is super clean and well equipped. We would have enjoyed an indoor table and chairs as the evenings were cooler in October. We ate in the evenings at the bar in the kitchen. Great map of the park on the wall that we enjoyed discussing our plans for the next day!

Summary: Nice two bedroom house. Full size Washer/ Dryer. Host provided laundry soap, dish soap, shampoo, body wash. The towels were nice also. Full kitchen with all needed utensils, basic spices, and a nice dishwasher. House was on the end of the street with no outlet so literally zero traffic. Short walk to the harbor and town. Really enjoyed our stay.

Summary: Beautiful home that was just right for my two adult children and me. Great location and was set up beautifully for our dog that traveled with us. We enjoyed Southwest Harbor and easily made the trip into Acadia National Park each day we were there.

Summary: This property was exactly how it was described and allowed us and our pup to be very comfortable. The fenced in area was perfect with a dog. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook (we ate out for each meal). We loved seeing a buck and his deer friends eating apples in the orchid each day. The location is on a quiet street with the harbor in sight at the bottom of the hill. Southwest harbor provides some gems for restaurants and little shops. We loved exploring the quiet side of the island, away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Check in couldn’t have been easier and the host communication was helpful and timely. Would definitely recommend.
