A pleasant stay in Southwest Harbor.

The condo was very clean and nicely designed. The location was convenient and in a less crowded and quiet area. The host was available and was so helpful with suggestions of what to do in the area prior to our trip.

Perfect place for our trip to Acadia NP

Nice place and well equipped with supplies. Acadia is spread out all over the area so you are a good drive to some trails and views but still close to many other trails. I stayed with my 2 kids in college and it was perfect for us.

Great location to Acadia but away from BH crowds

Great location to SW Harbor main drag. Basic grocery and laundromat within walking distance of house. Some early am road noise from the main highway but not too disruptive. Property is very clean and conveniently located to explore the area without all of the traffic, etc of BH.

Just what we were looking for…

We were returning to Southwest Harbor to play golf at the nearby Causeway Club with our adult son. We couldn’t be closer to golf or more comfortable for our stay. Communication with Tim was timely and efficient and the property was spotless and well appointed. We highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again.

Great place!

Tim was super nice and helpful far before the trip even started. He had great resources to offer us and the place was perfect. Plenty of space, beds, and kitchen appliances. Located not far at all from trails and the park and you could even walk to the main area of southwest harbor if you wanted to which was really cute. Highly recommend!

Comfortable condo/appartment

The property owner was wonderful providing info and help as needed. The kitchen was well equipped for those who like to prepare meals. Staying on the "quiet side" of Mt. Desert Island was good for us. We had easy access to Acadia National Park and could drop into the busyness of Bar Harbor when we wanted that experience.

Great place to stay for Acadia - would recommend

Great location to check out Acadia! 2 mins from grocery story. The place was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the layout of the place. Kitchen was perfectly appointed. Beds were clean and comfy! Plenty of towels. Check in/out and communication with Tim were great. I wish the shower pressure was a little better, but it still worked fine. Kids room smelled a little musty. Otherwise, wonderful stay and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to stay while enjoying beautiful Acadia.

3 days in Maine

Things we loved: Lots of towels. Great host recommendations. Great quiet location, and not far from other busier areas. Easy check in. Hot water and water pressure were lovely! Comfy couches, plenty of seating. Well equipped kitchen. Things we noticed but weren’t bad: It gets a little warm upstairs even with the window unit, but you can open the windows for breeze. Didn’t love that we had to clean all dishes by 10am check out time, as we made breakfast on our last morning and had to clean them quickly before checking out. Most places have you load and start the dishwasher before leaving.
