Stayed Sep 15, 2025This property worked so well for my sister and I. Everything was so nice and clean. The location was handy as we explored Mt Desert Island. The deer in the yard added to the charm.

Stayed Aug 26, 2025This place was great! We loved being on island but not in the heart of the Bar Harbor bustle. Everything was still only 20-30 minutes away. Well-equipped, super clean.

Stayed Aug 10, 2025We enjoyed our stay at Louise’s cabin in Southwest harbor. The location was excellent! The house was clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. Louise was very easy to communicate with. I would book this cottage again in the future.

Stayed Aug 16, 2025Wonderful stay! The house was in excellent condition, kitchen was nicely stocked, lots of extra towels, blankets, pillows to make sure we were comfortable, and games, puzzles, movies kept everyone busy. Location is very convenient for quiet side activities. Host was very responsive when we thought we locked ourselves out.

Stayed Jun 8, 2025Cottage as described, but even better! Perfect location for our Acadia 4 day adventures. Comfortable home and beds to recharge in after long wonderful day hiking and exploring. Loved the location because it was close to everything in quieter SW harbor, and easy drive to the rest of MDI and Acadia.

Stayed Sep 30, 2024Very clean warm cottage. Allowed us the option of spending all day at Acadia National Park and come home for the evening to a clean comfortable enjoyable space for the evening. Exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend this property to anyone else. If we go back to the area again will definitely look into staying here again!!

Stayed Aug 24, 2024Louise and Jim were the ideal hosts - friendly, communicative and helpful. Their place is perfect for a small family or couple. We came with our toddler and had the best time. Clean, well equipped, perfectly located in Southwest Harbor and close to all things Acadia. Would definitely come back!

Stayed Jun 2, 2024Family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Perfect fit for our family. The cottage is super clean from floor to ceiling. Well maintained. Minimal check out chores. Comfy beds. VERY much appreciated that many household essentials were provided (dish soap, hand soap, TP, papertowels, foil and most importantly... coffee.. a pound of a local roast was provided that was excellent). Quick and easy communication with owners. Great location for exploring Mount Desert Island and Acadia. Close to all attractions. Would definitely return! Thank you Louise for letting us stay in your cottage and providing so many little extras. Very much appreciated.
