What an opportunity to spend your family vacation in a vintage historic inn turned single family home. Built between 1857-61 by a local captain, Jacob Shop Mayo. He built this home for his family on this location so that he could oversee his ships in the harbor. Located just a few minutes walk into the village of Southwest Harbor on the Quietside of Mount Desert Island. This home has many historic features but has been nicely updated to accommodate a larger family or group. Each of it's five

Stayed Jun 24, 2025Perfect central spot for our family reunion. Lots of gathering spaces and easy walk to town. Great for rainy day puzzling and board games as well as jumping off spot for all of Mt Desert Island. Some low ceilings and narrow stairs, but that just adds to the charm. 10/10, will return.

Stayed Jul 29, 2023Our family of 10 stayed at the Captain Mayo House and we had a wonderful time. The house is really amazing, so many rooms! The kitchen was great, 2 stove, 2 dishwashers, 3 refrigerators and Keurig coffee makers. All of the dinnerware and utensils were very nice. The pancake mix is to die for! Most of the furnishings are brand new including the matresses. We slept well! It is a one block walk to downtown Southwest Harbor, many little shops and one store dedicated to artisans from the area. We ate at Beals Lobster Pier (185 Clark Point Rd) and Eat A Pita (326 Main St), both were very good. I am not sure if Eat a Pita is still the name, but the address is correct. We also ate at the Colonel's in Northeast Harbor, short drive away. You must not miss Jordan Pond in the park, a great experience and pop-overs! I highly recommend this property to make great family memories!

Stayed Jul 23, 2023Nice quiet location and neat old house. Convenient to Acadia park and Bar Harbor area, but removed from the high traffic tourist areas.
