All you need on the Quiet Side

We very much enjoyed this cottage and found it to be well organized and had everything we needed. We were very comfortable there. Slept great on great sheets ( not polyester! Yea!) Very quiet. We did have to open the windows when we arrived due to heavy fragrance and cleaners, took several days to get rid of the smell. Lighting could be better in the bedroom if you like to read in bed. But really, I would happily stay here again and felt the owner really tried to think of everything you would need. Some of the photos need to be updated as some furnishings such as couches have changed. It was truly a comfortable lovely little cottage. Thanks!

Boathouse

The boat house was adorable, clean and comfortable. It was close to everything Mt Desert has to offer. Really enjoyed the peacefulness of the area.

Loved this apartment

This is a great one bedroom house for a couple. Christie gave us helpful info, and we enjoyed having a kitchen for meals and picnic prep/ While the kitchen is basic, it was very well-equipped. Bed is king-size and comfortable, shower was great. The lighting could be a bit brighter in the bedroom as we like to read at night before bed. Also the washing machine is located next door and is a pay machine, which I did not realize until we arrived. No big deal, but just mentioning. We would definitely stay here again. We loved SW Harbor.

About the host

Hosted by Christie Dysart

Hi! My name is Christie Dysart. I have been fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom and am sending my eldest to college later this year. Six years ago we decided to purchase a summer cottage here in SWH. We'd been staying at my in-laws for many years prior to that. Our children are student athletes so we're not able to spend the whole summer at camp. In order to off-set costs we began renting our cottage. It was so successful that we booked fully and began looking for another so that we had a place to stay on the weekends. I now own 3 properties and manage 3 others. It's become a part-time job that I love! The guests that I've helped over the last 5-6 yrs. have been delightful! I'm so happy to be part of planning many families Maine summer vacations! Over the years we have made many friends and I see the same families year after year. I love my Job!!

Why they chose this property

This property is a bit unique. It's part of our marina complex. It's been housing for a boat captains family, a boat dealer's office and most recently the residence of one of our marina customers. It's the perfect location! Within walking distance to all area shopping and restaurants. Just steps from an amazing summer gallery of local lobster fishing boats and amazing cruising yachts! Acadia National Park completly surrounds SWH, Bass Harbor Head Light, Echo Lake, Somes Sound, Mt. Saviour, the list goes on. We are just 20-25 minutes away from all of the best park attractions such as Thunder Hole, Otter Cliffs, and Jordan Pond.
