Spacious Family Retreat; Spectacular Views; 4 Min to Acadia; Walk to Town

We had a wonderful stay! The house had plenty of room for our group of 9 and never felt crowded. The views of the bay were absolutely gorgeous. The pictures don’t die the view justice. There was great space for our family to gather and spend time together, while still feeling peaceful and quiet. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The location was excellent too—within about 30 minutes of Bar Harbor, Jordan Pond, plus easy access to hiking, biking, and all the outdoor activities the area has to offer. We would definitely stay again!

The house is amazing. Everything was clean and well furnished. The house was spotless and there were games, puzzles and books... something for everyone. The hosts were quick to respond to questions and friendly. The view is amazing

Amazing sunrise views and perfect location. After traveling and hiking all over the past five days, this is absolutely the best location with unbeatable surroundings. Highly recommend.

One of the best vacation homes I’ve ever stayed in. I visited with a few other young families (3 babies around 1), and we had an amazing experience! The fall colors were near peak, and the views of the trees were exactly how I pictured they would be from the photos—both from the numerous balconies or the expansive great room with huge mid century windows. (I cannot put into words how beautiful the sunrises were.) Multiple people from our party lucked out and got to see shooting stars at night! The location (a short walk) near Southwest Harbor was great if you’re looking for a more quiet area than Bar Harbor, and it was a quick 30 min drive to the more common Acadia NP spots. Highly, highly recommend.

I really cannot speak highly enough about our stay at Rachel and Jonathan’s place. It is an absolutely gorgeous home, in a fantastic location, and as hosts, Rachel and Jonathan are incredibly communicative, friendly, and understanding. Their place hosted our family of 10 very comfortably, for a weekend of wedding celebrations! We are so happy to have chosen such a wonderful place to make some pretty special memories. Thanks, Rachel and Jonathan!

I've stayed at a lot of vrbo properties and this one may be my favorite. It really is a perfect location -- a private lot in the woods with a great harbor view AND also a short walk into the town of Southwest Harbor. Best of both worlds. It's a 30 minute scenic drive across MDI to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. The house is even better than the pictures and would work for couples as well as a fairly large family. Would love to come back at some point.

The amenities were plentiful. The location was wonderful. It was nice to have a separate bed for seven woman on a friends trip. The twin beds in the bottom floor had some hard mattresses and the bedding wasn’t as nice as the bedding in the other bedrooms. The other rooms were perfect.

We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this property.

The property was well located, only a short walk to the Main Street of Southwest Harbor. It was large and accommodating for our family of 10. The screened dining area was lovely for evening dinners. Unfortunately, the lack of air conditioning meant the house was quite hot during the day, despite the ceiling fans. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Rachel and Jonathan’s place.

Our family loves this house! It's immaculately clean, and so well-equipped, with many places within the house to rest, have fun, eat well, or just have a quiet moment. The design is unique and thoughtful--and it's a big place. Communication with Jonathan and Rachel is always straightforward, considerate, and timely. This is a home that has been cared for by people who love it and are gracious to share it with others. We have a sense of gratitude every time we walk through the door. Highly recommend--you won't be disappointed!

Great view of SW harbor. Great community space for family to connect. Smores on the gas firepit upstairs with a great view. My family had a great time. Acadia has something for everyone.

We really enjoyed our stay in Southwest Harbor. The house is beautiful with excellent views and is very peaceful. Our only complaint was how hot the house got even with every window open and every fan running, it reached 85 degrees on the main floor during the day - I’m sure that’s not normally the case as there were record highs for our stay. Nonetheless, a portable A/C would’ve been nice to knock the edge off.

Absolutely, beautiful and gorgeous home overlooking Southwest Harbor and the town below. This home is within a four minute walk to downtown southwest Harbor, Maine and very close to amazing restaurants and ice cream shops. In addition, the home is very clean and has an open floor plan with three levels, including a top floor outside deck with fire pit for watching the Fourth of July fireworks (Just a spectacular fireworks show over the water). We would come back and stay at this home again in the future.

Very nice house! Great views and a lot of room to spread out. Pretty short drive to Acadia park.

Our group had a great stay at this property! It has spectacular views, great access to Acadia NP, and a quick walk into Southwest Harbor. The place itself was very spacious, and we really enjoyed the group games available. We'd love to stay here again in the future!

We had stayed last year with friends and at a wonderful time. It's a lovely house with owners and a property manager who were very responsive. Based on our experience last year we again stayed for almost a week with friends and again had a wonderful time. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed.

The house is very roomy, and had lots of places to hang out and relax. Very private, but close to trails and amenities. We enjoyed sitting around the fire-pit in the evenings and morning coffee in the great room. Communication was quick and easy. A great place for a large family gathering.
