Great week

Perfect spot for my week in Maine. Spent my days exploring Acadia and returned each evening to a cozy place for the evening. Central location. Alicia and Todd were great. I would stay here again.

Bliss Cabin Bliss

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Bliss Cabin for our babymoon. Truly a special home in a special place. Our third time to Acadia/MDI and this cabin was a perfect home for us for the week. Thank you so much for opening your home to us!

Relaxing Stay

I needed to get away from the throngs of people and this fit the bill! Beautiful idyllic setting but close enough to town for necessary items. Very convenient to tourist sites but out of the mainstream congestion. Will definitely visit again!

Great Place

Great place to stay while on Acadia vacation. Close enough to everything yet out of the way for privacy. Comfortable place to stay. The mosquitos are bad, so be prepared.

About the host

Hosted by Alicia Edwardson

My husband Todd and I been vacationing to Acadia National Park and Mt Desert Island for 25 years. We've enjoyed area, people and LOBSTER every time we came. Always cool in the summer, always relaxing.

Why they chose this property

We finally realized we loved it so much, we should buy a place we could call our own. We just decided this year we'd like to share it while we explore our new city apartment in Boston.

What makes this property unique

Being on a circle just out of town is really nice. There's only ten or so houses on the circle, so there's only a car or two da that drive by. Yet, we are a quick mile to the town center. And Southwest Harbor is the second biggest town on the island after Bar Harbor. So close, yet slightly remote: the best of both worlds.
