Perfect accommodations
We had a wonderful time on our first visit to Acadia National Park and found the quiet cottage to be perfect for our family of 5 adults and one little dog. It was immaculate, spacious, very comfortable with careful attention to what a visitor might need. We were especially pleased to find it well-stocked with linens, towels and even bathroom and kitchen supplies. The blueberry jam and blueberry soda greeting us were a sweet touch. Highly recommend.

Perfect place to stay
The house was exactly as promised. We found it in pristine condition upon our arrival. The check-in was simple even though we arrived late in the evening. The location was a plus as it was away from the crowds in Bar Harbor, yet within an easy drive to a variety of destinations. We were able to find some favorite hikes near Southwest Harbor as well as around the park loop. Great recommendations were left by the owners as to good hiking trails. We were able to walk to Southwest Harbor and enjoy some of their activities and restaurants. A whale watching trip and e-biking around the park loop were hits for our family in addition to hiking.

Central Southwest Harbor!
We had a great two week stay here at this super convenient house in Southwest Harbor. The house had all that we could need to make for a very comfortable base camp to enjoy all that we love to do in Acadia! The kitchen was very fully stocked, and that was great for us as we don’t go out too much. Wish we could enjoy the back deck more, but didn’t have the best weather. A really great spot for active families who are busy in the day and come home to rest.
