We loved the cabin and the location. We enjoyed the deer, turkeys and birds who visited. So easy to access Acadia park and downtown Bar Harbor. A short and pretty walk over to the seawall and picnic area. We were very glad we chose SW Harbor as it was really the quiet side. The Harbor Table and Peter Trout’s Tavern are great spots for dinner or lunch.

The cabin was great. King size bed was better than our own bed. Never slept better. Our host answered all the questions I had. The cabin was stocked with anything you needed to fix meals and bathroom was also stocked. The area was very quiet. Even watched a deer walk thru the property. It was conveniently located to Acadia National Park and we made use of the Island Explorer bus system. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to this area of Maine. Highly recommend this VRBO.

gateway to Acadia

The cabin was very well appointed, It had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. If you don't mind a litlle drive each day to get to the "busy spots of Acadia" then it is wonderful. You will need a car. Overall a great little getaway in a comfortable cabin on the quiet side of Acadia.

Peaceful Cabin.

If you are looking for a quiet cabin on the quiet side of Acadia, this is it. We enjoyed the location to hiking and biking in Acadia National Park. It is convenient to great restaurants as well. We rented bikes in town at Southwest Cyclery with Bob and Charlie. They were wonderful! The cabin is well equipped to have your meals there as well. The porch for morning coffee and the side deck for afternoon relaxing were perfect additions. You will be very happy if you choose to stay here. The neighborhood deer are a bonus.

Perfect location on the "Quiet Side" side of MDI

The cabin was the perfect location for all the activities we had planned during our 4-day weekend. It was located on a private road and although there were two other houses visible from the front porch, we felt very secluded surrounded by the lovely woods. Deer in the area were always in abundance. The quaint downtown of Southwest Harbor was just a few minutes away with some of the best food we experienced on the island - Clark Point Cafe (best breakfast!) and Harbor Table (amazing mussels!). The cabin itself was the perfect size for the two of us and it was clean and beautifully decorated. It is just like the photos. The bed, pillows and bedding were all very comfortable, and we slept well. Amenities like coffee, spices, detergent, hand soap, toilet paper all were provided. Our host Amy was always very quick to reply. We would definitely recommend! Other recommendations while in the area: MDI E-bikes to ride the carriage roads of Acadia; Thurston's Lobster Pound in nearby Bernard; Hike the Wonderland trail at low tide; Atlantic Brewing Company tasting room in Town Hill.

50th birthday present success!

My husband turned 50 years old recently and he has always wanted to visit Acadia and start touring National Parks. I booked 3 nights at Stone’s Throw thinking it would be perfect for just the two of us since we would leaving the kids at home. This spot and accommodations exceeded our expectations! I knew he wouldn’t love staying in busy Bar Harbor and we loved the Southwest Harbor area- especially how close we were to the Seawall. This property is in such a quiet area, it is like camping (in a very eloquent and comfortable way) but with no one else around, except for the deer! You even get an ocean breeze despite being in a woodsy area. It was amazing! Birthday gift success!!

Very clean and beautifully decorated. Just right for 2 people. Had everything we needed, great kitchen and comfortable king bed with lots of pillows. Amy’s son is a lobsterman and we had 3 steamed lobsters delivered. Also very quiet place in the woods. Deer everyday! Would definitely recommend this place on the quiet side of Arcadia. Hated to leave!
