About this property
Comfortable Suite in Downtown Northeast Harbor w/ WiFi & AC - Walk to the Water
Located in the center of charming and historic Northeast Harbor, this comfortable escape at The Colonel's Suites will help you experience Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park at their best. Whether you choose to spend your days hiking and riding bikes in Acadia, kayaking along the shoreline, or taking scenic drives across the island, you'll love coming home to a delightfully simple and well-appointed suite.
The main room brings together a sitting area with a sofa, a flatscreen TV, and a DVD player; a small dining space; and a kitchenette with a minifridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker to use when you're not downstairs grabbing something to eat at Colonel's Restaurant and Bakery. There are air conditioners in the living room and bedroom for your comfort, a second flatscreen TV in the bedroom, and free WiFi throughout the suite.
What's nearby: This suite is one of The Colonel's Suites, located just above Colonel's Restaurant and Bakery in quaint downtown Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island. You can easily walk to the harbor if you follow Main Street, Sea Street, and Harbor Drive, with a number of charming shops and restaurants located in the surrounding blocks. Best of all, the boundary of Acadia is only one mile north, so you can quickly reach such landmarks as Jordan Pond, Bubble Pond, and Eagle Lake.

My family had a lovely visit in August. We enjoyed the close proximity to the restaurants and shops in Southwest Harbor and hiking the nearby Ship Harbor Trail. We also enjoyed looking at the stars snd watching the crabs on the beach at night. The cottage had plenty of AC for the warmer days, and enough cozy space for our family of four.

Perfect!
We had a fantastic stay at the Birdhouse. There was plenty of space for our family of 4. The area was quiet and we loved the private access to the beach! We could easily access Acadia National Park and even found some hikes just a few minutes away. The house was clean and comfortable. We got to meet and chat with the owners, who are lovely people. Would highly recommend this place!

Southwest Harbor Gem
The home was clean and quiet. Additionally, the amenities-washer/dryer, outdoor deck, extra towels, adequate kitchen supplies(pots, pans and dishware) make a long stay enjoyable.
The location is perfect for exploring Acadia National Park and the Maine coast. The quiet side is picturesque with much to do. A wonderful time was had by all.

Beautiful home in nice location
We enjoyed our stay here as we spent the days exploring Acadia. It was nice to come back to SW Harbor where it was quieter than Bar Harbor. This place is located next to the Claremont Hotel which was super convenient for getting a delicious meal one evening. They also have a coffee shop/bakery. The one downside being next door to this hotel was that their laundry facility was directly behind our bedroom and they had outdoor security lights on all night that shone into the bedroom. I think if there were room darkening curtains that would be really helpful. Otherwise the place was very clean and it was a comfortable bed (good for my back issues). Nice to have a full kitchen for making breakfast in the morning.

Beautiful Fall Escape
The Bird House is a lovely, peaceful cottage nestled among the trees with water view glimpses just a few steps away from the beautiful beach path of the rocky harbor. It accommodated a family of four comfortably. The inside was clean with updated bedroom furniture and updated bathrooms. The whole place felt bright and welcoming with a coastal vibe of hand-picked decorative artwork and furnishings. The cottage can be warm and cozy perfect for cooler weather or open and breezy to take advantage of warmer days. Shops, dining, bakery, and even the post office were all within walking distance. The local market was just a short drive for us to dine in among the tree tops on the porch. Our family is looking forward to planning a future adventure with family friends in one of the larger homes, so we can gather together.

Perfect stay
We loved the home; great location and fit our needs perfectly.
Great location. Enough space for us. We had everything we needed. Small beach access was a plus and enjoyed by our dog.

Great vacation home in Acadia.
We loved our 3-day stay in this home. Close to the national park and in a quieter neighborhood. Would definitely recommend it.

A relaxing and peaceful getaway
Lovely location in the Southwest Harbor neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to the beach, the nearby pier, and into town. It’s a cute, welcoming, and comfortable home with a great deck. Would absolutely stay here again.
Nice location, walkable to Beals for lobster and the Claremont for lunch on dock. Kitchen was beautifully stocked with everything you need to cook, bake or grill.Comfortable beds. Nice deck with view of the water. Short walk to crushed shell beach perfect for watching passing boats or small kids to play.
Cottage style home on the non-congested side of Acadia
Overall, the stay was fine. For awareness, this listing is marketed on VRBO, but actually another property manager, Vacasa, manages everything. It can be a little confusing.
