Peaceful private woodland home, open and airy, with ocean views and fire pit

Southwest Harbor, Maine, United States

Tucked quietly away, up overlooking the harbor and a sea of pine and spruce trees, you can peacefully escape to Waterview Hideaway in Southwest Harbor. Surrounded by the sounds of singing birds, with frequent visits from the large local deer population, you’ll feel as though you are a world away. Yet you can walk down the hill to the center of Southwest Harbor in less than 10 minutes for a lobster roll and an ice cream cone.brbrLocated on the quiet side of the island, phenomenal hiking, biking, kayaking, and swimming are only minutes away. Within 10 minutes, you can be at the trailhead of some of the much less traveled, yet equally spectacular mountains of Acadia National Park: Beech, Bernard, Mansell, St. Sauveur and Acadia peaks. If a flat hike is more your speed, take in the breathtaking ocean vistas from the Wonderland or Ship’s Harbor trails in Southwest Harbor, 15 minutes away. If you are looking for a great swimming location, Echo lake’s beach is 8 minutes away (and is much warmer than swimming at Sand Beach in Bar Harbor on the Park Loop Road). If you’re seeking lobster or seafood, Beal’s Lobster Pier, 8 minutes away, is up there with the best of the best. Very private, yet centrally located, Waterview Hideaway is your hub for all of your Park adventures.brbrWhile at the house, enjoy the spacious and open living room with high ceilings and a propane fireplace. If cooking at home, everything is at your fingertips in the galley kitchen. The dining room can comfortably seat six. A spiral staircase leads up to the loft with a queen size sleeper sofa, two desks with monitors, the master bathroom and master bedroom with king size bed. Enjoy some of the best views in the house from the screened in porch located off of the loft. In the evenings, cozy up to the fire at night while roasting marshmallows for s’mores in the newly built fire pit.brbrA separate unfinished cabin is also included, with an additional king size bed and small second bedroom with a twin size bed. In the cabin is a small kitchen, dining table, and full bathroom.

Incredible views overlooking Southwest Harbor and beyond.

Southwest Harbor, Maine, United States

The views from Island Watch are spectacular. To the northeast is the fjord of Somes Sound, and further south is a more intimate view of Southwest Harbor and several of the offshore islands, all with Acadia National Park's mountains as a backdrop. brIsland Watch sits on a ridge above the village of Southwest Harbor and has a vista that is as unique as any on the Maine coast, yet is removed from the busier, in-town atmosphere. We are a bit more secluded, but we do have our own private path that will take you into the center of Southwest Harbor. From there you can board the free Island Explorer bus, wander through an art gallery, have a gourmet dinner, or just have an ice cream at the local café. We are only minutes away from some of the least used and most scenic trails in Acadia National Park. brFormerly run as a Bed and Breakfast, Island Watch is now available to rent on a weekly basis. The seven bedrooms of the main house each have their own bathroom. The suite on the lower level has a complete kitchen and fireplace. The main deck area provides a relaxing gathering area for your entire group, where you can kick back and watch the boating activities below. We also have a separate efficiency apartment rental unit, called the Bird's Nest (651708), over the detached garage on the same property.brThe views are spectacular from the decks at Island Watch. Sit and relax in the quiet splendor of the Maine woods while taking in the panoramic beauty of the islands, mountains, harbors and the village of Southwest Harbor! brYou're within walking distance to the local restaurants, bike rentals, sailing, boating, an ice cream parlor, and exclusive shops. Some of our local establishments are Beal's Lobster pound, Rogue Cafe, Sawyer's Market, Red Sky Restaurant, and the Wendell Gilley Museum.brbrYou will enjoy spectacular ocean and mountain views, beautiful sunrises, quiet times, and the many activities in nearby Acadia National Park. The Rockefeller family constructed beautiful carriage roads throughout the park in which you can enjoy on foot, in a horse-drawn carriage, or by bike.brbrCome and stay at one of the most beautiful places in the Maine. Experience a quiet family vacation or one with friends. Be active or just kick back, read a book, work on a jigsaw puzzle, or paint a picture — all while enjoying the fresh air and pristine views.br brSouthwest Harbor has an active marine industry base of boat builders, marinas, and lobster and sail boats. brIsland Watch watches all of this from its peaceful perch above the harbor. It is the Real Maine...Simple! “The way Life Should Be!”
