We loved our stay! The property was clean, quiet and very comfortable! Great location. Very walkable to town. Small kitchen, but very functional for our cooking needs. Coffee and pancake mix was provided and we enjoyed both!

Easy access to areas of Acadia NP and other local sites. Enjoyed the smaller town atmosphere of Southwest Harbor.Stay was exactly as expected, clean and very pleasant. Enjoyed the kitchenette for ease of breakfast (didn’t try the homemade pancake mix but highly recommended according to the notes of previous visitors!) & packing a lunch for the day’s activity, and dinner out at one of the SWH restaurants. Well stocked for our needs.

This was really lovely and so well located in Southwest Harbor. Walking distance to multiple restaurants and shops as well as the cranberry cove ferry. Only about a 15 to 20 minute drive to the bar harbor side of Acadia National Park. Rental was very nicely equipped with many thoughtful amenities.

We had a wonderful stay at our rental in Southwest Harbor. I had communicated with Christie several times before our trip and she responded quickly and was so helpful. We brought our daughter and her 17 month daughter and a pack and play, hight chair and several toys were provided which was great. We loved eating the pancakes with maple syrup (from Maine) that she had for us. The apartment was very nice and clean and was big enough for us 3 with the baby. We loved the area and enjoyed the small town. We walked to several places and went to the library which had a great children's area. Acadia National park was so close and loved the trails we went on. It was a great vacation and hope to visit again.

Great rental in Southwest Harbor

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean, matched the pictures, in a convenient location, had a great view and a smooth check in process. It was a great option for our first trip to Acadia and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

30th Anniversary Trip

It was a wonderful place to visit and see all the sights, shops and restaurants. The towns from Boston to Bar Harbor were great stops to see. My husband enjoyed the lobster rolls and I especially enjoyed the clam chowder. Our host was perfect for her quaint place! Would love to come back again some day.

We loved staying on the quiet side for our adventures in Acadia. The space was exactly as described, and very clean and comfortable. Easy walk into town for dinner, ice cream, and a few shops. Easy drive to some of the most amazing hiking and kayaking! You really can’t see or walk to the harbor immediately from the rental, but the property is lovely. We would recommend it for sure!
