    Charming cottage ideally located near town and hiking trails. Clean, comfortable beds, cozy sitting room with cable tv and a lovely welcome basket. Well stocked kitchen and nice linens. The outdoor areas and small deck look like they would be great in warmer weather for relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.

    It was such a pleasure to stay at the little house in Southwest Harbor. The house was clean, bright and cheerful. The kitchen was great! We had everything we needed to prepare our meals. We enjoyed the meadow, the deer and watching the sun go down from the porch. We went in to Acadia most days, the short drive is beautiful and relaxing. Bass Harbor Lighthouse sunset was absolutely beautiful. If you go, the lobster bisque at Harbor Table in Southwest Harbor is not to be missed! Staying in Southwest Harbor quietside really made our trip. We would definitely love to stay again.

    The Little House, on a private road, had everything we needed for our week stay! It was only 20 minutes from Bar Harbor & East Harbor, and we were tucked away from heavy tourist activity. We LOVED seeing deer EVERY DAY just yards away from the house! They just stood there and stared at us, sometimes eating apples from the tree!! That will be one of my fondest memories of staying here. We were able to go to many local places for lobster, which were fantastic and are where the locals eat. Elena left us tips on restaurants and places to go. These tips were AWESOME! She also left us a very nice, thoughtful Welcome Gift.

    We've stayed several places around Southwest Harbor, and this was the best. Charming, sunlit house on a quiet lane withing walking distance of town center. Very well appointed kitchen (with professionally sharpened knives!) Comfortable beds and furniture. Beautiful gardens and yard to spend time outdoors. Kind and responsive hosts. Believe the listing! We have already reserved for next year.

    What a fantastic spot! We really liked staying on this side of the island, and the Little House is clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Elena is a great host, and we would very happily stay again.

    We had a fantastic stay. The house was perfect for our family of four and had everything we needed. It is in a beautiful location close to Southwest Harbor and is a great home base for exploring Acadia.

    Quirky was good and wash/dryer was a plus but information was lacking - where were the bins for trash and recycle The bathroom, particularly the shower was a major drawback and no workingnight lite was a problem. Outlets were not convenient Would not rent it again.

    Kind hosts, beautiful property, and a great town, all minutes from real Acadia hikes or the coffee shop (which even has gluten free whoopie pies). The weather is perfect for hiking, even the kids didn’t complain. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you!!!

    Little house is perfect! Charming, comfortable and had all we needed. The green space is beautiful! It was wonderful to watch the deer in the morning and evening hours. Very peaceful and relaxing space. Highly recommend!

    This little cottage is adorable and in a great location. Although it's off a well-traveled road, it's tucked away in nature. Sitting on the porch and watching the wildlife every morning and evening was a highlight. The kitchen was easy to work in and the bathroom had great water pressure. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Comfortable, light and airy in nice setting with everything you need to cook in or close enough to walk to SW Harbor restaurants. Nice outdoor space and easy walk up to Main St to catch the Island explorer bus. Great hiking nearby. Hosts very responsive will definitely stay again.

    A cozy, comfortable place with an incredibly well-stocked kitchen in terms of supplies for cooking. A great home base for exploring Mt. Desert Island. We loved it.

    Elena, Terry and Pip were great hosts and the Little House is a wonderful place to stay. Easy access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. After a day spent outdoors, it was nice to come back and be able to relax. The Little house is very peaceful and well kept. We really enjoyed sitting out in the garden area and reading or talking about the day. Wonderful place, great vacation. Jay & Christie Provo 6/24
