About this cottage rental
Our quiet, summer cottage built in 2009 on the western slopes of Freeman Ridge in Southwest Harbor, Maine at the end of a private road, is the perfect place to enjoy your vacation in Acadia National Park on lovely Mount Desert Island. The cottage has complete privacy, located in a peaceful, forested surroundings. Built on a ledge, the cottage has a tree top view of the woods and there are keyhole glimpses through the tall spruce of Bernard Mountain to the north and Swans Island to the southwest. The tall forest surrounding the cottage give an expansive treehouse feel to a modest cabin with a small footprint. Like most summer cottages in Maine, Granite Ledge is a single construction building and designed for seasonal use. Built to the owner's specifications, the cabin's framing and roof are made from lumber harvested and milled from the property. All appliances are new, floors are finished hardwood, giving a luxurious feel to a rustic experience.

Quiet, secluded cabin with great sunset views. Clean and well stocked with dishes, towels, and wood for the wood burning stove! Close to several hikea in Acadia and a short drive to Bar harbor.

We loved the cabin and was perfect for our family of 4. We love Southwest Harbor so it was great to have a quick drive into town but be able to come back to total, complete privacy. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Laura was a great host and responsive to any questions. If you want a private, relaxing place this is it

This was a spectacular home base for our week on the island. There’s so much to do there but the house is so delightful - bright, comfortable, lovely porch - that sometimes we just stayed put and enjoyed the splendor. Not often does one get to sleep in what’s essentially a treehouse bedroom. Great kitchen. Perfect reading room with a woodburning stove centerpiece. Thank you.

What delight I felt pulling up to this remote cabin set back in the woods! We got out of the car and went inside only to find that the place was just what I wanted. It is clean and bright and has just the right amount of space (there were 4 of us, though it could have handled more). There are windows everywhere looking out into the forest and letting in the beautiful Maine air. It had all the amenities we needed to cook. There is a spacious deck and porch to sit outside.The location feels remote and quiet, yet it is a short drive to town in Southwest Harbor. I wouldnt have wanted anything more and will be going back.
