Our charming 2 bedroom cottage sits in Southwest Harbor on prestigious Clarke Point Road. It is across the street overlooking beautiful gardens with a small view of the harbor . It is situated halfway between the village and Beals Lobster Pound. Relax on the front deck for lunch or on the chaise lounge to read a book. Smell the salt air and enjoy peeks of lobster boats, sailboats, and the actions of a working harbor. The cottage is located right in town with sidewalks that meander down tothe town dock with gorgeous views of the harbor. Walk to the iconic Beals Lobster Pound, The historic Claremont Inn, and gourmet restaurants are blocks away.. No need for a car. You can walk to town and dine at gourmet restaurants, outstanding breakfast cafes, shop at upscale boutiques, specialty wine, cheese, a great library, and a playground for small children. You may also flag down the free Acadia Bus in front of the cottage. (Late June into October) for a ride to any part of the island: towns, hiking trails, movies. You can walk into town and rent a bike and load it up on the bus to be dropped off anywhere in route. The location allows for great independence for all, especially older children.

Acadia National Park mountain hikes: Flying Mountain, Perpendicular, Manset Mountain and others are a bike ride away or , a two mile walk or a 5 minute car ride away. Ocean swimming is a lovely 10 minute walk away. Great for adults and kids alike.
We have Kayaks you are welcome to use, but must have a vehicle to transport.

    Quiet street location; easy to walk to both dining and shopping. Also easy to drive to other areas of interest. Hosts had lots of books and other literature about the area available to read; they were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this cottage.

    Wonderful location walking distance to shops and restaurants, lobster and the water. Cute little town with friendly folks and great access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The host/owners were very helpful and gave us some tips on where to go and what to do. The cottage is perfect for up to 4 people who can share 1 bath. Well appointed with everything we needed and the Washer dryer were an added bonus

    This beautiful, spotlessly clean, inviting cottage has everything. Quiet & peaceful, though close or a scenic drive to everything Acadia. A nice short walk to restaurants and the bay where we watched the sunset and picked up our lobster dinner. Well stocked and maintained kitchen, lots of screened windows, comfortable living room for rainy day and variety of board games! We loved the deck, especially after driving for 10 hours to get there! Marilynn and her husband were so helpful and welcoming. Our dog appreciated her treats on arrival (as much as we enjoyed the wine!) and relaxing on the deck for the evening:) We ALL miss it and will definitely by back!

    It was fine. A good location and the beds were comfortable, but definitely dated. Couldn't hang out on the living room to chill after a long day hiking, its outdoor furniture that's been worn thin and incredibly uncomfortable But if you are looking for bare bones with nice owners this will check that box

    The location alone is a wonderful reason to rent this place - so close to Beal’s, we ate there twice, and a lovely neighborhood for walking, with town just steps away. But on top of that, it was a good and comfortable home base for exploring the area. We had all we needed, and loved that we could stay with our dog.

    Really enjoyed this cottage and location! Easy to get to Acadia and bar harbor, but southwest harbor in itself was a great location. Walking distance to great breakfast, dinner, and shops.

    The location of this Southwest Harbor cottage was convenient to Acadia, some restaurants, and minimal shopping. Views of the harbor were limited by waterfront homes. The cottage could use some updates, including better lighting, the furniture was not comfortable, and minimal supplies were provided. In general, the site was rough, overpriced and had a musty smell.

    This cozy little cottage had the perfect location with a gorgeous view of my favorite garden in SWH and the harbor beyond. It is a very short walk to restaurants and shops. We loved having fires in the woodstove. The kitchen was well appointed and the bed was comfortable. We definitely want to stay again!

    My adult son and I spent a week at this location. We enjoyed the close proximity to the town and the ability to walk in town for coffee or dinner. The home itself was very clean and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We wished the living room furniture was more comfortable. Hosts were great!

    We enjoyed our time in southwest harbor. Beautiful area! Nice to be away from all the hustle and bustle of the park. Would recommend the cottage for friends and family when they plan to come this way.

    My family throughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. There were no issues with the checkin/checkout process, and the description and pictures of the cottage were accurate. The cottage is within walking distance to downtown Southwest Harbor, and less than a half hour to the loop and Bar Harbor. The cottage was the perfect size for our family of four, and the owners did a nice job highlighting some places to eat/visit in the welcome book. I would not hesitate to stay there again!

    This cottage was perfect for our family of 4. Wonderful location, within walking distance to the marina and many restaurants. Clean and safe area with so much to do near by. We enjoyed staying in southwest harbor which is very close to the park, butich less busy then Bar Harbor. The hosts are helpful and have everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

    We loved being in SW Harbor in this location...walkable to everything we wanted...Birds everywhere. Great recommendations from owner (who lives next door) on things to do and places to eat. This town is great because you are close to Acadia and Bar Harbor but it's way quieter and more peaceful for that Maine getaway. LOVED it and will stay here again on another visit!

    The cottage was as advertised. Clean, functional, and well-stocked. Southwest Harbor is quiet, but very cute and walkable. Only 20-25 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Owners were very responsive to questions. Would recommend.
