This home was bigger than it looked in the photos! It’s definitely quant but the homeowner makes such amazing use of the space that you have everything you need and don’t feel cramped! The location is also perfect. It’s right on the water and only 20 mins from bar harbor and there’s plenty of restaurants nearby! It’s absolutely gorgeous in that area and we would love to come back someday!

It was a great base for our visit to Acadia. Liked the quiet location in Southwest Harbor. Christie was most pleasant and helpful. Very much enjoyed our visit and ghe house suited our needs nicely. Clean, comfortable, just right

Loved this cottage! The only minor drawback was the construction project right next door, obscuring an otherwise beautiful view of the harbor. But the host and the property itself were lovely!

Great house on the "quiet side" of Acadia. Direct route to park about 25 minutes away. The house was super cute and fit our needs! Truthfully, we were barely there as we were up and out to the park early and returned after dinner each night. The shower was strong and appreciated as well as the comfy king size bed and Keurig coffee machine in the morning! The sunrise over the harbor was very pretty and we couldn't have been happier to have stayed here. Christie was a great host and I highly recommend staying here!
