We loved our stay at this property! My kids loved going to the water and catching snails, fish, and green crabs. We were close enough to restaurants when we didn’t want to cook and close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor to do all the things we wanted to do.

Beautiful little spot with a relaxing scenic vibe. Property was easliy accessible and in the middle of the whole Acadia experience. We highly recommend considering this property for anyone spending time in the National Park, Bar Harbor and/or any other of the Mount Desert Island area.

Very nice and new apartment over a garage on a beautiful property. Gorgeous views of a cove off the Somes Sound, just outside of Southwest Harbor. Apartment is very private, spacious and nicely furnished. It's even nicer than the pictures convey. It is decorated with beautiful paintings by the owner. We had a great stay here.

Thank you, Rob, it was a pleasure hosting you! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. The cottage is above an art studio "garage" filled with light - I love showing guests my working artist studio and sharing my process - all inspired by Acadia! Please stay again.

Our stay was outstanding. There were 2 couples so it was the perfect size. Camille and Marc were freindly and accommodating. The views were amazing and the apartment was private and cozy. The small downtown area in Southwest Harbor was quaint and about 20 minutes to Bar Harbor so away from the crowds but close enough to pop in. Highly recommended!

This property was perfect for our stay on Mount Desert Island. We loved the view. The property was well maintained and beautiful. We love staying on the quieter side of the island, and this location was perfect. We got to enjoy going to Acadia and stopping in Bar Harbor while being able to come back to a quiet area with a beautiful view to relax. Camille let us know everything we needed for check in and check out. The property had everything we needed.
