Wonderful vacation in SW Harbor

We loved our time here. Nestled in the woods near SW Harbor, the house is very comfortable, with a beautiful view of the meadow from the living room. The property manager was responsive, prompt and helpful.

What an absolutely beautiful home and setting! Isolated setting; mountain views, deer & turkeys in the backyard; easy, short drive to SWH; easy access to Bar Harbor & Acadia NP. Felt like we had the entire mountainside to ourselves. Very well furnished and very comfortable. Hosts were fabulous. Can't imagine a more perfect Vrbo for our stay. We would live here if we could!

Secluded Nature Getaway

We stayed while visiting Acadia. It was great to get away from the busyness of the park and Bar Harbor each day. We saw deer and Turkeys each day. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved the remoteness of the Blueberry Cottage, yet it was close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor too.

This was our second Acadia trip and we absolutely loved the quiet side of the island! The cottage was quaint and secluded. It was cozy and the perfect spot to return for a rest after a full day exploring!

What a beautiful location! Everything about this house was perfect for us! I wanted our family trip to Acadia to avoid the amusement park-like crowds of Bar Harbor and this location was on-point! We hiked directly from the house to many trails near Long Pond and Echo Lake. We hiked a total of over 20 miles in our 3 days there and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The view from the backyard was amazing and great for viewing wildlife (especially deer and turkeys). One morning we were watching 5 bucks, 3 does, 3 hen turkeys, and roughly 20 poults all at the same time! I could not be happier with our stay here and am already recommending the home to anyone who will listen!

Blueberry Lane

We had a fabulous stay in blueberry lane in southwest harbor. The house is tucked away but still very accessible and a great spot between the quieter side of the island and bar harbor. The house was clean, had everything we needed and the hosts were quick to answer questions! Would absolutely stay here again!

Acadia/Maine

Property worked well for our Acadian vacation. We thought the location outside of Southwest Harbor was great. Nice to be on the "quiet" side of Mount Desert Island but have access to everything! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your property!

We spent 6 peaceful days and nights at this well kept cottage. I would book again if traveling to Acadia. Keep an eye out for the deer in the morning and evening and hawks as well. Lovely.
