Family-Friendly Vacation Home near Acadia National Park- in Southwest Harbor

Your idyllic Maine experience starts here. This two story home is tucked away in the woods and centrally located in Southwest Harbor, the crown jewel of Mount Desert Island! We are located just 1.5 miles from the village of Southwest Harbor.

Explore the island's quiet side with uncrowded access to Acadia National Park, the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, the charming village of Southwest Harbor and an authentic working waterfront all close to our home.


After a day of adventure,unwind on the spacious back deck and outdoor patio, whip up dinner on the grill, dine under the pergola, and share stories of the day.

Our property is secluded without sacrificing proximity to all the island has to offer. Surrounded by pine and spruce forest and bordered by Acadia National Park, you won't be bothered by road noise or neighbors.

It is a wonderful place for bird watching, stargazing, and taking in Maine's natural beauty.

In Spring 2026 we added a spacious outdoor living area that includes a large wood deck with a new gas grill, paver patio and an outdoor dining table under a cedar wood pergola. All situated on the western side of the house, so you can enjoy Maine's cotton candy colored sunsets.

We also upgraded the existing fire pit with a solo stove, perfect for staying cozy while star gazing on cool nights. Please note the fire pit may not be used when a fire ban is in place.

This comfortable two-story home has one bedroom downstairs (queen bed) with a bathroom that is accessible from the bedroom or the hallway (tiled shower and double vanity).
The other two bedrooms are upstairs - an ideal set up for families.
The first bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has a double bed with a twin trundle bed as well as a separate twin bed. The upstairs bathroom has a tub, great for bathing little ones!

Comfortable beds, room darkening curtains and peaceful surroundings mean you will have your best nights sleep!

We have a loveseat in the Family Room that has a new full size pull out sleeper.

You will have no problem cooking in our kitchen, well equipped with a dishwasher, oversized refrigerator and gas range. The dining room table sits 6 people or 8 with the attached leaf. Two extra chairs are in the downstairs bedroom closet.
