The property was reasonably priced, clean, and met our expectations. The complimentary wine was an unexpected treat after a long day of sightseeing. Small criticism would be the bedding could be upgraded.

4 nights, 5 days exploring Acadia NP. Staying in SW Harbor was perfect for us as it was a little removed from the busy Bar Harbor area but close enough that we could easily get there & enjoy it for the amount of time we wanted. Ingrids place was clean, convenient and all that it was portrayed to be on line.
We had a great time at Acadia National Park. We mostly hiked the easy trails and one day used the Island Explorer to explore the area. Our stay at Western Mountain Townhouse was perfect! It had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, it was very clean and the location was great. We would definitely stay there again.

This was a very clean, nice place. Could hear people in unit next to us due to thin walls. That was the only concern we had. We tried to be quiet since we could hear them. We didn't want to disturb them.

Quiet area of the island. We enjoyed a lobster boat ride from the nearby marina. We also enjoyed the local ice cream shop. The drive to Bar Harbor and the main locations in Acadia National Park isn’t bad if you have a car. I would stay there again.
Just as we expected. Clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was great for us as we prefer that side of the island and love southwest harbor. We would stay again!
Wonderful house and location for visiting Acadia National Park
The house has lots of space, plenty of parking, a great outdoor area complete with a grill, is centrally located for visiting many of the Acadia sites, has shopping and restaurants nearby, and has a great breakfast/coffee shop within walking distance.
Echo Lake swim area is just up the road and many trailheads are nearby in either direction. Sand Beach, Cadillac Mountain, Dorr Mountain, and many other popular spots are a short drive away, and gas stations and groceries are both VERY convenient.
It was the perfect choice for our visit to the area.
Place was comfortable and well located for an Acadia / Bar Harbor stay. Grocery store nearby and only 20 min from Bar Harbor and Acadia entrance. No A/C but evenings cooled down and many windows opened made sleeping comfortable.
This was a great property for our weekend get together! We were a reasonable drive to anywhere in the Bar Harbor area. The condo was clean and well furnished. We had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing weekend.
My group and I were so pleased to have booked this unit for our trip over Memorial Day weekend! It was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed. It even appeared as though some updates had been made since the listing pictures were taken which was a nice surprise. We were also able to take advantage of the convenient outdoor area and enjoyed every moment of it. The only thing we felt worth noting was the layout of the living space was a bit funky and we couldn’t figure out a way for us all (group of four) to fit totally comfortably. We made do and didn’t spend a ton of time there so it wasn’t a huge issue but it would have made our stay a teeny bit more relaxing. Ingrid was an incredible host and we greatly appreciated her local recommendations. Southwest Harbor was the perfect location to keep us out of any major hustle and bustle but easy access to popular spots we wanted to explore. Next time we’re in the area, we wouldn’t hesitate to book Ingrid’s townhouse!
We had a very enjoyable stay. This property appears to be very well maintained, well equipped and immaculate. Even in the off season, this area has plenty of attractions.
Beautiful, spotless townhouse in Southwest Harbor .Rainy weekend but we got two hikes in, Acadia mountain 2.5 miles away. Lovely afternoon in Bar harbor about 25 minutes away. Great lunch and cocktails another afternoon in southwest harbor just blocks away. Recommend cafe drydock!
The townhouse was very clean, very quiet, had everything we needed, and was close to downtown. Next time we plan a trip back to Acadia I will definitely book our stay here.
The property was just as listed. It was convenient to town and quiet at might. The walls are thin and we could hear our neighbors and fortunately every one was in bed early so it was quiet at night. The upstairs room was large and the bathroom was convenient. I am not sure why window was installed over the bed that looks down into the living room. If someone wants to sleep in in could be a problem since light from the downstairs floods the upstairs bedroom. I would suggest a blackout shade on that window. Everything else was fine.
Location is good if you want to be out of the crowds but not have to drive too far to Acadia. Description of the listing is accurate, and the place is very clean. Things to know up front would be that the beds are a bit on the firmer side, and no shampoo/body wash/conditioner is provided. In unit laundry is nice however and includes detergent.
Three of us loved everything about our stay. We enjoyed being on the quieter side of the island. Southwest Harbor is a nice small town, and yet access to all the Acadia National Park sights, as well as to Bar Harbor, is easy. The house is light-filled, comfortable, with all the necessary appliances, etc. Comfortable beds. Wi-Fi works well. Our host was very accessible via email ahead of time to answer questions. We made a great choice of where to stay.
Our accommodations were spotless and bright , spacious and very comfy . Had everything we needed to make meals and plenty of room! Ingrid was a great host and communicator . A great location on the quiet side of mt desert island . We would return for sure !
We had a great time during our stay exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia. This place was perfect for what we needed, a great place to relax, plenty of room for everyone. It was a big plus to have the kitchen so we didnt have to go out for every meal and washing machine and dryer were a big perk too. I would definitely stay here again!
Property was as listed; very clean and updated. Washer and Dryer were great given some of the rain we had. Beds all comfortable and plenty of fans to combat the usual heat during our stay. Location was right down the road from downtown and 15 minutes to Cadillac Mountain and 20 to Park Loop Road. Ingrid provided clear and quick communications and responses.
While it didn't impact us, the walls are very thin as mentioned by some other renters. We could sometime hear the people next door but not an issue. However, if there was a family with young children that woke up early and were loud I could see this being an inconvenience.
Property was very welcoming. Check in and out was a breeze. As easy as coming and going from your own home.
Would stay here again without hesitation.
Townhouse had everything you needed in the kitchen for preparing meals. Washer and dryer worked great with laundry detergent and dryer sheets in the closet along with vacuum, broom and other cleaning supplies if you needed them and dishwasher tablets under the kitchen sink. Coffee and filters were provided for the drip coffee maker.
Rooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and clean. Ceiling fans in the living room and bedrooms along with box fans in bedroom closets. Extra blankets in the closet. Could run washer and both showers and not have to worry about running out of hot water with the tankless hot water heater. Appreciated the second floor fire escape ladder in the upstairs closet that could easily be hung on the window if necessary. Ingrid was quick to reply with answers to our questions. Great communication.
