Southwest Harbor, Maine
Built in 2005, our beautiful cottage, just steps from the beach, has every amenity to make your stay in Southwest Harbor a delight, beginning with its ideal setting on Somes Sound. It is a perfect place to relax while enjoying the beauty and activities of Acadia National Park and the quaint Mt. Desert Island villages. Treat yourself to an oh-so-fresh Maine lobster, watch sailboats drifting by, and enjoy the other activities, sights and experiences that Mt. Desert and Acadia National Park offer.
The large deck is a perfect place to grill or to watch the busy activity on the ocean. Step down from the deck to the shore on a soft pine needle path. Enjoy the home's beautiful professional landscaping. Walk to the charming village of Southwest Harbor or to the free Island Explorer bus which will carry you and your bikes throughout Mt. Desert and Acadia National Park.

This was our second stay at this wonderful property. Comfortable, very well appointed and equipped, gorgeous setting and view in a wooded lot on Somes Sound. Easy walk to SW Harbor and its stores, restaurants, etc. Modern kitchen in a spacious and comfortable great room. The host lives nearby and is friendly and accommodating. The house feels a bit like a camp because of all the wood (which is of superb quality!) and the use of appointments from days gone by, but is in fact spacious and modern with all the conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed this place and plan to return.
The house is very nicely appointed and includes a well stocked kitchen with everything you might need to cook and entertain. The owner is a lovely person and bent over backwards to address our needs.
Our family had a wonderful stay at this cottage. Very convenient yet away from the bustle of Bar Harbor. We will recommend to our friends.
We had an amazing stay at this property! The house is lovely-well laid out with a great common area and 3 very nice bedrooms. We especially enjoyed the ocean view, beautiful private beach, and lovely gardens! Our hosts were so helpful and welcoming! We really had the perfect stay and can’t wait to come back! Thank you!
Quiet SW Harbor cottage town. Perfect for a getaway for families wanting to enjoy the deck and rocky beachfront. Lots to do in Acadia National Park only 25-30 minutes away. Would definitely come back for some much needed rest and relaxation.
We had such a great time here in this well equipped waterfront property. Great communication to know what we had available to us and plan accordingly for our needs. Big lobster pot in the house and live lobsters available right around the corner from the fisherman. Quiet surroundings right behind the coast guard station and a stroll down to the beach to watch the boats coming through. Beds were comfortable, water pressure great, nice weber grill, and comfortable patio furniture. We will be back. We wanted to be away from the crowds, while close to the park and the trails. This was dynamite! Also recommend the Blueberry pie from the Little Notch! Sail Acadia for the Friendship sloop sail at sunset was also a great add for us. Enjoy
We have visited SW Harbor regularly for many decades but this was our first rental. The house and the grounds were great, well designed and maintained, beautiful and comfortable at the same time. Amenities were above and beyond, with little details that indicate the property has been lived in. The location is amazing, completely secluded while within an easy walk of downtown SW Harbor. Water view is framed by trees but the shoreline is completely accessible by a short walk through the back yard. Perfect. We'll be back soon.
Wonderful location on Somme’s sound. The house was perfect. We met Ed and he was very helpful and kind. Loved our stay and hope to return next year.
Our stay could not have been more perfect! Extremely clean with ample supplies provided. Good location with a just mile walk into town (Southwest Harbor). Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We would love to come back some day!
Great location!
We've been coming to SW Harbor during the summer for decades, staying usually in this general part of town. The house was well equipped, clean, comfortable, and quiet (away from Bar Harbor crowds) -- a good fit for 3 adult family members. Convenient for walks to town and for car trips to Acadia and other destinations on Mt. Desert Island.
Our family had a wonderful stay in this great cottage on Mount Desert Island. The home is in a great location - water views from the back, walkable to Southwest Harbor village, and an easy drive to so many great hikes on the quiet side of the island. The rocky coastline accessible from the home was perfect for the kids to hunt for crabs and other sea creatures. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here the next time we return to Acadia!
Wonderful home in the perfect location to enjoy all that MDI, Acadia, and SW Harbor have to offer. Hosts are gracious and welcoming and couldn’t recommend this property more. Hope others can enjoy it as much as our family of 6 did this year.
My husband and I stayed here with our two year old son, and another couple who also has a toddler. The house was perfect for our stay. Plenty of room in the living room for kids to play, bedrooms were a good size and had everything you might need. Lots of cookware in the kitchen. The patio was very nice and had plenty of furniture for everyone to be comfortable. Backyard had a nice shaded area for kids to play, and the rocky beach area was fun for the kids to explore. The southwest harbor location was a very quaint little town, had several good food options, and was easily walkable from the house. Easy drive into Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbour area for lots of fun day activities. We were all very happy with our stay.
The cottage is in a secluded neighborhood, yet very close to town. There is a lovely, but limited, view of Somes Sound. The grounds are beautifully tended. Our only complaint was that there was no internet during our entire stay. This was extremely inconvenient. Although we informed the caretaker and the owner of the problem, there was no attempt to fix it.
