About this property
Southwest Harbor Cottage Overlooking Harbor and Gardens
Our charming 2 bedroom cottage sits in Southwest Harbor on prestigious Clarke Point Road. It is across the street overlooking beautiful gardens with a view Of the harbor. It is situated halfway between the village and Beals Lobster Pound. Relax on the front deck for lunch or on the chaise lounge to read a book. Smell the salt air and enjoy peeks of lobster boats, sailboats, and the actions of a working harbor. The cottage is located right in town with sidewalks that meander down to the town dock, Two amazing lobster pounds with gorgeous views of the harbor, one of which is the famous Beals Lobster Pound. The historic Claremont Inn and gourmet restaurants are blocks away..No need for a car. You can walk to town and dine at gourmet restaurants, shop at upscale boutiques, specialty wine, cheese and historic Sawyers Market, a great library, and a playground for small children. You may also flag down the free Acadia Bus in front of the cottage for a ride to any part of the island: towns, hiking trails, movies. You can walk into town and rent a bike and load it up on the bus to be dropped off anywhere in route. The location allows for great independence for all, especially older children.
Acadia National Park mountain hikes: Flying Mountain, Perpendicular, Manset Mountain and others are a bike ride away or , a two mile walk or a 5 minute car ride away. Ocean swimming is a lovely 10 minute walk away. Great for adults and kids alike.
We have Kayaks you are welcome to use, but must have a vehicle to transport.

About the host
Hosted by Marilynn Wittenberg

We have owned this cottage and the main house next to it for 29 years. Occasionally we rent out our 3 bedroom house upon request. We have traveled a great deal, but still find this to be one of the most beautiful areas to come back to again and again.
