Many first-time visitors think that the only way to get into Acadia is through the Park Loop Road in Bar Harbor, but in reality the park is spread out all over Mount Desert Island (and beyond) and is connected via the extensive Carriage Road and trail system. The closest access point is the Western Mountain connector road, just 1/4 mile from our door!brbrQ: How many vehicles can I park brA: The driveway has a capacity for up to three vehicles.brbrQ: Is early check-in available brA: Unfortunately we are unable to offer early check-in as we almost always have a group checking out the same day as the next one arrives. We need the entire time between groups to properly clean and prepare the space for your arrival.brbrQ: Are pets allowed brA: Yes, pets are allowed at Brook House for an additional fee.brbrQ: What if the weather is bad/the Park is crowded Can I cancel brA: Please refer to the listing for a description of the cancelation policy. Just as our guests expect to have their reservations honored, we also rely on consistent bookings to continue operations and do not have the ability to absorb last-minute cancellations as many hotels do. Though we can't control the weather, the Mount Desert Island area has lots of rainy-day activities to keep you entertained any time of the year!brbrQ: How far away is Bar Harbor, groceries, etc brA: Distances to local attractions from Brook House:brbrBar Harbor (restaurants, hospital, shops, etc.): 15 miles / 25 minutesbrBangor (big-box stores, airport): 51 miles / 1 hour 15 minutes brDowntown Southwest Harbor (restaurants, bars, shops): 2 miles / 5 minutesbrEllsworth (shopping, supplies): 20 miles / 31 minutesbrEV Charger (Level 2): In the garagebrGrocery Store (Southwest Food Mart): 2 miles / 5 minutesbrNew England Outdoor Center/Baxter State Park (for white water rafting, moose watching, climbing Katahdin): 131 miles / 2 hours 30 minutes brPortland (city & airport): 178 miles / 3 hoursbrbrbrNote: For safety and security, we have motion-activated security cameras on the exterior of the property which will be active during all stays.

Large house on 3 acres in woods, 5-minute walk to ocean, 5-minute walk to town

Southwest Harbor, Maine, United States

Greetings Prospective Renters -brbrThis is our third year posting the Knollen on VRBO. Please see our profile of the Knollette on VRBO for ample reviews of the smaller home on this family land.brbrIn 1937 our great-grandfather built the Knollen on three acres of land . At that point in the island's history, innumerable island plots were available to him, including many oceanfront properties, but he chose this spot. The location is wonderful. brbrThe property includes a big grassy field, beautiful woods, and a much smaller cottage (the Knollette, also available for rent on VRBO). While the Knollen has not undergone any major renovations (including the kitchen and bathrooms), it's large (offering ample bedrooms), lovely, quiet, comfortable, and full of simple amenities. With extended family members living here for months at a time, we can attest to its high level of functionality, comfort, and charm. The living room can accommodate large family gatherings. Two particularly special spaces include a first-floor, screened-in porch with traditional wicker furniture and a large, second-floor sleeping porch - both of which offer close, peaceful connection to the surrounding woods.brbrThe Knollen is located on a quiet, private lane. Walk 5 minutes and you will discover the causeway at Norwood Cove - a spot that offers wonderful vistas of the ocean & mountains; dramatic tidal activity; opportunities for swimming, SUPing, canoeing, kayaking; peaceful sitting spots; and spectacular night skies. Walk 5 minutes in the other direction to the center of Southwest Harbor, a small quaint town where you will find shopping, dining, art, crafts, a bike rental store, and a wonderful public library. You'll also find access to the Island Explorer, the free shuttle to all parts of MDI and Acadia National Park.brbrAcadia National Park is a playground for walking, hiking, biking, swimming, boating, and picnicking. Explore scenic ocean trails, carriage roads, beaches, mountains, lakes, and nearby islands. There are also opportunities to rent boats of various sizes; play tennis, pickleball, or golf; antique hunt; visit museums and art galleries; eat ample fresh seafood; and more. brbrKeywords: large cabin, large wooden house, quiet private lane, near ocean, near town, Southwest Harbor, Causeway Lane, Norwood Cove, Acadia, Mount Desert Island
