About this property
CLEAN, spacious, each BR has private full bathroom attached, high speed internet
This spacious 3 bedroom 3.5 bath (each bedroom with attached full bath) home is situated in a private, wooded setting on the edge of Southwest Harbor's bustling village. All on one level, it offers sophisticated yet comfortable furnishings in an open floor plan design. A cozy sun room extends the space and leads to a lovely wrap around deck. It’s also close to several Acadia National Park access points. Note: this home offers extra wide doorways accommodating those with mobility issues (there are 3 small steps to access the front door, no wheelchair ramp available to enter home).
All on one level, the home features an open floor plan with high ceilings and interesting architectural details. The cheerful and well-applianced kitchen offers a center island with prep sink, and a generously sized pantry. The kitchen opens to a sunny breakfast area and table. The adjacent living room offers plenty of seating on overstuffed, leather furnishings and a large, flat screen TV. From the breakfast area access the screened-in sun room which is set with lots of casual furniture including a full-size futon/sleeper. For formal dinner gatherings there is a separate and very spacious dining room. The master bedroom suite is spacious and inviting. It offers a queen bed and en suite bath with an enormous Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The second bedroom is set with a queen bed and has an en suite bath with tub and shower. The third bedroom offers a set of twin beds and an en suite full bath with tub and shower as well.

About the host
Hosted by Paul and Sarah Lunsford

My husband and I moved to the area in 2015 due to job relocation and absolutely fell in love with the area. We enjoy opening our home to people from all over the world to allow others to experience the true beauty that Mount Desert Island has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Our home is located on what locals call "The Quietside"--not in the hustle bustle of Bar Harbor tourism but just a short drive away. It's close to various access points to Acadia National Park such as Long Pond (1 mile away), Echo Lake (short 3 minute drive), Bass Harbor Head Light House and Seawall, to name a few. The town of Southwest Harbor also has many restaurants and some cute little shops. After a long day of adventure and/or shopping that the Island has to offer, it's lovely to come home to a calm, relaxing environment and sit in the sun room with a cup of coffee to enjoy the wild life in the back yard.
What makes this property unique
We provide guests with linens, towels, fully equipped kitchen, laundry detergent, coffee, and tea to name a few.
