Peaceful haven on Acadia's quiet side

Perfect house for our family of six in a very private setting away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Easy drive to all Acadia NP has to offer. The house had everything we needed for a great vacation.

Southwest Harbor Idyll

It was a perfectly perfect visit from beginning to end for three generations from 61 to 2 1/2 years old. Easy check in. Easy check out. Ideal location on the Quiet Side for trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia, and a short walk from truly excellent lobster rolls. We are hoping to return.

Beautiful house in beautiful SW Harbor

We have been coming to MDI for many years, and most recently have been staying in Southwest Harbor. This year we were lucky to be able to stay in this lovely house - both perfectly located and perfectly charming. We had a fantastic time, and hope to come back again in the future. Paul was great - super responsive and helpful. Loved all of it.

Perfect

The house is even more lovely than the online photos suggest.tasteful and homey. The location was private and beautiful. There was even a robin’s next with three fledglings just next to the door (that we tried not to disturb). Paul was easy to reach by email and answered all questions promptly. We would definitely return!

Great house and wonderful location

We enjoyed CEDARCROFT and Paul , the owner, was very helpful when we were puzzled by t v set up The only disadvantage for us- senior citizens-was the steps upstairs . Paul was transparent about them before we booked and we certainly managed ok. But getting luggage up and down was challenging

Fabulous stay!

The home was lovely, clean, well appointed and perfectly located within walking distance to town and the bay, where fishing off the town dock was pretty good! A unique feature of the house is even though it’s close to everything, it’s set back off the street, providing privacy, quiet and a green, leafy setting. Paul, the owner was informative, gracious, and responded immediately when a small issue arose and had it resolved within hours. We stayed for 3 weeks. My only regret is I wish I had booked for longer. I highly recommend this property.

Charming Southwest Harbor home

This was a beautiful restored home. It was very comfortable from the high quality linens to the fresh flowers in two rooms! It had the charm of an old New England farmhouse with wide planked floors. The house was very well stocked. The kitchen was stocked with high quality pots and pans, including all we needed for cooking our own lobster. Several restaurants were in walking distance. I liked that they offered things like plastic wrap, firewood ready to light in the fireplace, a spare propane tank for the grill, antiques throughout. This was a truly charming old house for those who like old houses. Our group definitely does. The host was very responsive and we would highly recommend this house in quiet Southwest Harbor.

Peaceful Stay

Great stay on the quiet side (Southwest Harbor), but close enough to quickly get to attractions in Acadia and Bar Harbor. House is secluded on a larger lot, but still only a few blocks from the waterfront/restaurants...easy walk. Well decorated with antiques that complemented the house. New gas BBQ grill.
