Surrounded by 8 acres of private pine forest, bordering Acadia National Park, with Ship Harbor Trail and Wonderland Trail just 6 minutes from the front door — this is the quiet side of Mount Desert Island at its best. A brand-new outdoor living space and zero neighbors make it feel like the island is yours.



The Outdoor Space: (New Spring 2026) The heart of this property is outside. A large wood deck, paver patio,

cedar pergola with outdoor dining, gas grill, andsolar lighting scattered throughout. The western exposure delivers Maine's famous cotton candy sunsets from your backyard. After a day on Acadia's trails, come back and grill dinner under the pergola — it's that kind of place.



The House: A comfortable two-story home sleeping up to 8, plus a full pull-out sleeper in the family room to accommodate 2 extra guest up to 10 total (fee applies). Downstairs: queen bedroom, tiled shower with double vanity, open kitchen and dining room (seats 6, expands to 8). Upstairs: two bedrooms (queen + twin/double/twin trundle combo) and a second bathroom with a tub.

Room-darkening curtains and window AC in every bedroom. Please note AC units are only installed during the summer months.



For Families: Stroller, Pack & Play, high chair, Magna tiles, board games, and children's books are all here. Our grandkids built a ground house out back — yours will find it. With 8 private acres, children have room to actually roam.



The Location Southwest Harbor is the quiet side of Mount Desert Island — less crowded, more authentic, and with its own spectacular Acadia access. Ship Harbor and Wonderland Trails are 6 minutes away. Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse is minutes from the door. The village of Southwest Harbor — great restaurants, working waterfront — is 1.5 miles. The main park (Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain) is a 30 minute drive.



In October, fall foliage and uncrowded trails make this one of the best times to visit.



Happy Travels — Jeff & Gerry

    This was the PERFECT spot for my family and I to stay while exchanging vows in Acadia. The host was very easy to communicate with. The house was everything we needed but the best part was the privacy. It’s completely hidden off of the road and no neighbors on top of you. Deer came to visit us every day which elevated the experience. We had my 15 month old son with us and the house was very accommodating for him too. Love that we didn’t have to bring a pack and play or high chair as it was already there! The Southwest Harbor side of the island was the ideal location for us.

    Tucked away off the road, in a great location on the quiet side, away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Easy access as a home base to explore Acadia and all the island has to offer. Had a great time visiting Maine on our family vacation!

    Beautiful home in a peaceful location a bit back in the woods away from the main road. Daily visit from a local doe and my daughter even saw a fox. Everything was cozy and comfortable. Easy check-in and the home has everything you would need. Bedrooms were comfortable and shower water pressure and heat was great. Strong WiFi signal. And communication with the owner was always quick and easy. Highly recommend!

    The house is completely secluded, quite a distance from the road but very close to a gas station and a store, which made it an ideal location for us.The house is very well maintained with all amenities and well stocked. The owner was very responsive and helpful. She would reply within 5 minutes of a message.We had a great stay and would definitely recommend.

    Excellent location to access the main areas of Acadia and especially on Southwest Harbor side. The house was a little tricky to find via GPS but instructions to look for Gotts market were helpful. Several rooms have air conditioners, which can be helpful as middle of summer can be warm. Very comfortably furnished!

    The house was tucked away off the road in a large opening surrounded by trees. A few deer would visit daily. There were 4 adults in our party. It was nice to relax in the morning having coffee and siting on the outside deck. There are a couple lobster pounds nearby that are excellent. The town of Bar Harbor is about a 30-minute drive. We would stay there again.
