Tucked along the southwestern shores of Mount Desert Island, Southwest Harbor is a charming fishing village known for its working waterfront, stunning harbor views, and laid-back atmosphere. Often considered the quieter counterpart to Bar Harbor, this coastal town offers a more relaxed and authentic Maine experience while still providing easy access to Acadia National Park.
Home to a thriving boatbuilding industry, Southwest Harbor boasts a strong maritime heritage, with local shipyards crafting some of the finest yachts in the world. The town’s picturesque harbor is dotted with lobster boats, sailboats, and waterfront restaurants serving up fresh-caught seafood.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, from the scenic trails of Western Mountain and Beech Cliffs to the serene beauty of Seawall and Echo Lake. The town also serves as a gateway to Great Cranberry and Little Cranberry Islands, accessible by ferry for those looking to explore Maine’s rugged offshore beauty.

We were so happy with our stay! House was lovely, even better than the pictures. The beds were so comfortable, and the house came stocked with everything we needed. Hosts were kind and very communicative, they made the whole process very easy. Would definitely stay here again!!
We enjoyed this house, it had everything we needed and was close to the park. I loved the fact it had 3 decent-sized bedrooms. no pull out couch. It was close to Bar Harbor and other places we wanted to visit. highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor as well as Southwest Harbor. The accommodations were terrific, quiet and comfortable with good access to all that the area has to offer.
A nice, clean, convenient home base for island exploring! It took us some trial and error for us to get the pellet stove to warm the home and run through the night, but once we got the hang of it we had a lovely stay.
Two families stayed and explored Mt. Desert Island. The kids loved the upstairs space and the adults had plenty of space downstairs. It was great to be able to come home at the end of the day and unwind and cook some food. Everything worked with this house and would recommend to anyone who is traveling to the area and doesn’t need to be in the bustle of Bar Harbor.
Description is accurate. Plenty room. Upstairs great for kids. 3 beds plus futon with tv. Their own area. Outside fenced in, we traveled with a dog so it was a plus. Small area but decent enough. Bar Harbor 20 min drive and that’s where most things are.
Home was very convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We had everything we needed. When we went to pack we had pet hair on our luggage from the bedroom floor. Other than that it was perfect! We would rent again.
My friends, my dog and I stayed here for two nights, and we loved it. The house was very clean and nicely decorated with comfortable furniture and beds. My dog enjoyed the fenced in yard, and we were impressed by everything that was provided by the host- towels and travel shampoo and conditioner, lots of board games, coffee and tea, etc. It was a very nice place to come back to and relax after spending time in Acadia, and felt like a home away from home. In addition, I was very grateful to the host for providing thorough and helpful information for check in and check out without being overwhelming, making for a very stress-free stay.
Place was exactly as advertised. My wife and I , and three adult sons had a great time in Acadia, using the Southwest harbor hub as our home base. Our sons did long runs from the house to near by trails. Games available were a nice way to relax at night. Bar Harvor was great, but we were happy to be away from all the crowds. You are only 20+

We had a family trip to Acadia National Park Aug 2024 & had a wonderful stay here. This property was well maintained, clean and decorated well. It was exactly like listing. We were provided linens, towels, toiletries & kitchen was well supplied. It takes about 20 mins to get to Bar Harbor and/or Acadia Natl Park. The cottage had an info folder (very hrlpdul). Echo Lake is very clise (must go)!
We had a wonderful time & this Acadia house was bery nice. We had plenty of room for everyone.
We will come back again.
Thank you!
