Properties

This classic Maine cottage, nestled in the spruce woods above Southwest Harbor, combines charm and comfort in ideal proportions. Indoors it boasts bright, pine-paneled rooms, a fully-equipped kitchen and cathedral ceiling in the great living/dining area. A wood fireplace in the living room will warm you on cool island evenings.
 
The 1.4ac grounds include a terraced deck, a small lawn for ball games or star-gazing and a plot of beautiful old spruce & cedar woods. A vernal pool in the forest adds a sparkle of water to the landscape in spring & fall, but come in late July or early August if you want to pick your own high-bush blueberries right behind the house!
 
Acadia National Park and the trails around Long Pond, Beech Mountain & Western Mountain are only a short walk down the road. In the opposite direction, a 5-min drive (or a 20-min walk) will bring you to the shops & restaurants of Southwest Harbor. There you can rent bicycles, kayaks or take the free Island Explorer shuttle buses to all parts of the island.

*****

The cottage is wonderfully rustic.

This is our 3rd year at this Cottage, and we loved it all again. So much so we've already booked our time for next year. The cottage is wonderfully rustic, spacious (for 2 adults and a medium-sized dog) and just remote enough for privacy, but not too far from the town of Southwest Harbor (~5 minutes) or Bar Harbor (~25 minutes). There are wonderful hiking trails within a half mile distance down by Long Pond, which our pup loves. You can also kayak on the pond! All in all, this Cottage is a perfect place to stay while visiting Acadia National Park! - (Nov 2023 - ABNB)

Very comfortable place located in a quiet part of Acadia

Rustic but lovely cabin with a cute little porch to sun yourself on. The owner left a bunch of info about local sites that was very helpful. - (Oct 2019 - ABNB)

Quaint and cozy

Perfect location on Southwest Harbor. Close to Acadia National Park. House is perfect for a family . Loved the outdoor fire pit for making smoores. Near Echo lake, so convienent for kayaking. We felt right at home and didn't want to leave. Would stay here again!!
