We are happy that you had a good time hiking down Causeway Lane to the ocean. If you cross over the wooden bridge you will come to a restaurant that serves popovers.

This is a wonderful older house just a short walk up the hill from downtown Southwest Harbor. It has a nice stocked kitchen and plenty of comfortable places to relax. We really enjoyed the fireplace. We definitely love to stay at this house in the future.

Very spacious house with lots of sleeping space. Deck was wonderful - nice place to just sit outside in the fresh air and have a beer - but covered in case of rain. Very well located on the quieter side of the park with easy access to many trails. Also some good dining options in the area - including one of the best lobster pounds on the island - Beal’s! (Have eaten there 3 years in a row - love it!). Acadia is so much fun - we had a wonderful time.

Beal's lobster was started by my husband's grandfather. and he bought what became Beal's Lobster wharf and ran it for many years. Ken's father who owned the house named "Singing Hill" worked on the wharf and took it over after his father (Ken's Grandfather) passed away. Ken's parents gave him the house called "Singing Hill and Ken put it on VRBO for the summer, saving two weeks for our family. Ken's brother Sam ran the wharf and the lobster business after the Grandfather passed away. After Sam passed away the wharf was sold and the new owners are taking great care of it and serving lobster and other meals throughout the summer season. We still enjoy going there, sitting at tables outside, or inside if the weather is wet.

Like stepping back several decades to stay here. In a good way! Clean and well-kept, spacious and well-equipped. Stayed with our three kids and could have easily fit another family. Walked yo the lovelyvauseway several times as well as into town. Southwest Harbor is much quieter than Bar Harbor. Would definitely stay here again!

We are very happy that your family had a great time! We would be happy to have you stay again. Did you happen to see a navy-blue sweater with an "Anthony's" from Florida tag and with three white anchors on the front - I left it there by mistake and searching the internet I found it for sale! Helen and Ken Beal, owners.

Great Location

We very much enjoyed our stay. The house had plenty of room and very much enjoyed eating dinner on the porch. It was fun to walk down to the causeway after dinner and watch the sun set. We preferred staying in Southwest harbor because it was less crowed than bar harbor. Great hikes and swimming in Eco lake were within 15 min drive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Arts & Crafts home. Very spacious and a large porch for relaxing. Loved that it was tucked away but also convenient to the Main St. It was well equipped and loved the large stone fireplace on cool nights. Will definitely return

What a great vacation!

This house just feels like Maine! It has everything you need to be comfortable, plus ambiance galore. The porch is huge and wonderful for hanging out, even in a rain storm, as it is deep and covered. We hated to leave! The location is fantastic- a short walk to working harbor, Beals Lobster Pound, Southwest Harbor, and “ The causeway”.
