About this property
Heart of SW Harbor: Dual King Wings + Bunk Room!
Quietside Quarterdeck is spread across two thoughtfully separated wings, giving multi-generational families and groups the breathing room they need while keeping the shared spaces at the heart of the home. The main floor is bright and open, designed for gathering, shared meals, and soaking up the village atmosphere through large windows.
The interior strikes a balance between character and comfort with maritime antiques and curated nautical details that sit alongside quality finishes that make the home as functional as it is memorable. Head downstairs and the atmosphere shifts entirely, with the Below Deck entertainment level transporting you into the hull of a classic tall ship, mermaid figureheads and all.
LIVING AND ENTERTAINING The main living area provides a stylish and comfortable space to relax, framed by massive timber beams and large windows that bring in the village light. It is a great spot to hang out, relax and plan the day's hike over coffee.
For a change of pace, the Below Deck lounge gives you a second living area for movie nights or gaming, complete with a nautical theme that kids and adults alike will love! The upper level is equipped with a 50” Smart TV, while Below Desk features a 65” Smart TV with surround sound. There is free Wi-Fi for streaming, so everyone has their own space to unwind.
KITCHEN AND DINING The full sized, chef ready kitchen comes exceptionally well provisioned with all the appliances and utensils to allow for effortless meal preparation. Stocked with essential spices, oils, quality cookware and a dedicated drip coffee setup, the space is ready for everything from quick trail breakfasts to delicious Maine seafood feasts.
The main interior dining table seats six comfortably, as well as bar seating in the kitchen and the secondary dining area in the Below Deck lounge. This flexible setup is perfect for shared family dinners, a casual lobster spread, or a boardgame night after a day exploring Acadia.
BEDROOMS AND BATHROOM The bedrooms are spread across the different wings of the home to give everyone a sense of privacy. The primary suite on the main floor features rustic beams and a king bed, while the second guest room also offers a king bed. The third bedroom is a dedicated bunk room with a twin over full and a twin over twin setup along with a 32" TV with Roku, making it a practical choice for children.
There are two full bathrooms on the main level and a convenient half bath located in the lower ship themed wing. Each bathroom is stocked with fresh towels and essential amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so you don’t have to bring a thing.
A washer and dryer are also available in the home, making it easy to pack light and stay as long as you like.
OUTDOOR SPACES The private rear patio is a tucked away retreat from the village buzz, featuring a gas grill and alfresco seating for outdoor meals. It is an intimate space where you can relax and unwind, which makes it all the more peaceful and private after a day on the trails.
Off the primary bedroom, a small private balcony provides a quiet vantage point for a morning coffee before the village wakes up, and for families, the local school playground and ball fields are directly across the street giving you a handy bonus for kids who need to burn off some energy before dinner.

The house was so spacious with clever use of space. The thoughtfully stocked snacks in the kitchen were much appreciated after a long drive. The instructions to park and enter were perfectly detailed. I really appreciated not having a long list of mandatory cleaning instructions upon check out, creating less stress. We enjoyed our time in the park and with family. 100% recommend!
PERFECTION, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! This house was the absolute perfect spot for visiting Acadia and the Bar Harbor area! SW Harbor is quaint & quiet, with really great restaurants - all very walkable from the house. And then there's the house itself - from its own parking area to the homey beautifully curated decor to the functional separate wings of the house to the super fun finished basement lounge - and I could go on!!! On top of all that, the host's communication is clear, thorough, and rapid. If we come back to the area, we're definitely coming back to this host & this house.
Perfect place for a home base around Acadia NP!Stayed for a few days with my wife and our five kids. The place was clean and cozy and had such a great vibe for relaxing after long days on the hiking trails! 5stars… highly recommend!
