Southwest Harbor Cottage steps away the Ocean and Acadia National Park

The home was well cared for, clean and had everything you could need for a family meal and a relaxing evening.

Excellent location for a trip to Acadia National Park. Very close to the lighthouse. Pretty good dining options nearby. Highly recommend Beal’s nearby. Really good experience. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting area

Two comments: 1) the deck used for entry to the house is too low which makes for a big step up and tougher step down especially if you are carrying something.2) Tried to watch some football but none of us could figure out the operation of the TV. Called the owner, he was in Hawaii on vac, he tried to walk us through the steps to make it work - no luck. I had to send him a pic of a QR code - no luck. He tried to reset the software controlling the TV but no luck. Perhaps a simple 1, 2, 3, instruction sheet would work. Not well done in regard to the TV. Thanks - Patrick Lawson

The house was exactly as pictured and was very clean! The location was convenient to both Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Would recommend staying there!

The location was ideal for touring the Boothbay and Acadia area, yet without the congestion of Boothbay. Rather than being bothered by people, we were visited at least twice daily by several deer, which was a pleasant experience. Both Beal's Lobster Pier and Peter Trout's Tavern & Inn are only minutes away and have excellent food. The fried haddock sandwich at Peter Trout's is to die for.

Very nice, comfortable, modern and simple. Had a well stocked kitchen, hot water comes quickly. Took about 25 min to get to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mtn, and Jordan Pond, etc. but isn’t a bad drive. Exploring the town of Southwest Harbor was an added treat.Would stay here again!

I stayed here over labor day weekend with a group of 5 friends. It was extremely clean and equipped with everything you could need from towels to kitchen supplies. The location was perfect, with bass harbor lighthouse and delicious restaurant with a view called Peter Trouts just down the street. It was an easy drive into Bar Harbor and all the sites of Acadia national park (30mins) even for the holiday weekend. The bonfire was nice and could see the beautiful night sky with many stars just from the backyard! We were also able to drive right down the road for the sunrise one morning. The host was extremely helpful and responsive with recommendations/allowing for an early check-in. I would highly recommend this place for your stay on MDI! Thank you to the hosts for a memorable trip.

The hosts were very responsive to my requests, and the house was very clean and in good condition. Our only problem was that the basement stairs did not have a handrail. One word of advice: take luggage through the back door. It is much easier.

The house was great for 6 of us. It was clean. The beds are comfortable. Very quiet. Fully stocked kitchen with Viking range. 30 minutes from Bar Harbor. 20 minutes from mots parts of Acadia National Park. A couple miles from restaurants and town. Must try Clark Point Cafe for breakfast and pastries. Great place to stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this very clean and comfortable house. The window AC’s were definitely appreciated! Check-in was convenient and easy to follow. Convenient access to Acadia National Park and Bar Habor. Bathrooms were bright and clean, with lots of hot water available for us (including 4 teenage boys!). We appreciated the laundry detergent and all the clean towels made available to us. We enjoyed a relaxing evening around the fire pit on our last evening, under a clear sky of stars. Just a few suggestions to make this rental spectacular- a laundry basket would be helpful, since laundry facilities are in the basement. If there was one, we didn’t find it. Also the cookware could use an update. Otherwise, the kitchen was pretty well stocked and had everything we needed. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable!

The home was perfect. We enjoyed coming home from a long day and hanging out on the front porch. We sat and enjoyed the breeze and talked. Beds were comfortable.

Very easy checkin lovely house, had everything we needed. Comfortable. Love that side of the island, quiet, not as crowded, very close to SW Harbor. We had a blast

We were very comfortable in this beautiful, immaculate, well equipped home. Location is great, about 1/2 hour from the main entrance to Acadia and close to the town of Southwest Harbor. The hosts were very accommodating and got back to us very quickly on the few questions we had. Would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.

Beautiful house, nicely appointed, on the relatively quiet Seawall Rd. We had a wonderful weekend.

Great clean house in quiet area of southwest harbor....house was great for a family of 6 and very spacious

The property was quaint and peaceful while being close to Southwest Harbor attractions, quiet side hiking, and only a 30 minute drive to Bar Harbor and and the main Acadia attractions. The property was clean and spacious. It was truly a wonderful time.(All photos are taken from the trails near the property).

Very nice place, great location.

This was my first time in Maine and it was a great experience. The house was perfect, felt like home. The location was awesome, close enough to the busy Bar Harbor and park entrances but remote enough to relax. Ian was quick to respond to any question I had. Would definitely recommend the sunrise hike up Cadillac Mountain!

Very clean inside the home, pictures on line are very accurate. The back yard is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy nature.

SW cottage was very spacious and comfortable. Ian was quick to respond to inquiries. The main entrance to Acadia did take about 25-30 minutes to reach, but there were delays due to road work. Would suggest 2 rolls of toilet Paper rather than 1 for a 4 night stay.

Nicely renovated 2-story farmhouse close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Beds are comfortable, although smaller bedrooms lack storage space for clothes. nice spaces inside, including large dining room with a table for 6 and a sunroom. House was clean with lots of windows.
