About this property

Our quiet, summer cottage built in 2009 on the western slopes of Freeman Ridge in Southwest Harbor, Maine at the end of a private road, is the perfect place to enjoy your vacation in Acadia National Park on lovely Mount Desert Island. The cottage has complete privacy, located in a peaceful, forested surroundings. Built on a ledge, the cottage has a tree top view of the woods and there are keyhole glimpses through the tall spruce of Bernard Mountain to the north and Swans Island to the southwest. The tall forest surrounding the cottage give an expansive treehouse feel to a modest cabin with a small footprint. Like most summer cottages in Maine, Granite Ledge is a single construction building and designed for seasonal use. Built to the owner's specifications, the cabin's framing and roof are made from lumber harvested and milled from the property. All appliances are new, floors are finished hardwood, giving a luxurious feel to a rustic experience.

Awesome Place

We loved the cabin and was perfect for our family of 4. We love Southwest Harbor so it was great to have a quick drive into town but be able to come back to total, complete privacy. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Laura was a great host and responsive to any questions. If you want a private, relaxing place this is it

Perfect September getaway

This was a spectacular home base for our week on the island. There’s so much to do there but the house is so delightful - bright, comfortable, lovely porch - that sometimes we just stayed put and enjoyed the splendor. Not often does one get to sleep in what’s essentially a treehouse bedroom. Great kitchen. Perfect reading room with a woodburning stove centerpiece. Thank you.

Lovely cabin, clean and comfortable!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Granite Ledge. It was a perfect place to come back to after a busy day hiking and biking. 5 stars!! The owner was very prompt at sending our deposit as well. Thank you! Debbie

Wonderful for the 2nd year in a row.

My family spent another lovely week at Laura's cabin in Maine. It's peaceful, quiet and serene. We are looking forward to our visit again next summer. The house is well stocked and comfortable and Laura is a pleasure to work with.

Lovely quiet stay!

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean with all we needed. We enjoyed the porches, and opening the doors to hear the wildlife outside. No neighbors in sight! Perfect place after a day of hiking.
