Tucked along the southwestern shores of Mount Desert Island, Southwest Harbor is a charming fishing village known for its working waterfront, stunning harbor views, and laid-back atmosphere. Often considered the quieter counterpart to Bar Harbor, this coastal town offers a more relaxed and authentic Maine experience while still providing easy access to Acadia National Park.

Home to a thriving boatbuilding industry, Southwest Harbor boasts a strong maritime heritage, with local shipyards crafting some of the finest yachts in the world. The town’s picturesque harbor is dotted with lobster boats, sailboats, and waterfront restaurants serving up fresh-caught seafood.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, from the scenic trails of Western Mountain and Beech Cliffs to the serene beauty of Seawall and Echo Lake. The town also serves as a gateway to Great Cranberry and Little Cranberry Islands, accessible by ferry for those looking to explore Maine’s rugged offshore beauty.

Family Gathering

The location was nice, end of the road, quiet. Nice arrangement. Appreciated the refinished attached garage for gathering of adults after children went to bed. Nice back yard, fire pit was nice to have. Check out was easy- no real expectations. Nice to have washer and dryer on site. Just a few suggestions to consider making this a top destination for the price- be sure guests know any needed supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, propane are provided and can be delivered by the host as needed. I’d have enough towels for the people staying, and larger. Include scissors, hot pads, and more kitchen towels, etc. Consider supplying firewood as well. Overall nice stay, but could use some amenities for the price that is paid.

Basketball tourney weekend!

We just got back from our two night stay in this beautiful home. It had everything we needed to make our stay easy! There was plenty of space for all four families to unwind after the kids played in their basketball tournament. The host was very reachable during our stay when we had questions! Would definitely rent from them again!

Special Christmas

The property was nice and private. Didn't get to use the yard as it was cold and snowy. Watching the deer come out of the woods was special.We have a large family and the house was perfect. we even had a Christmas tree.

Perfect New Year's Getaway

My daughter really wanted to do the New Year's Day sunrise hike at Cadillac Mountain in Acadia. So, we looked for a home in the area that would accommodate our family. As it turns out, we had fewer people than we originally anticipated but the house was perfect anyway! The property is inviting and the photos accurately portray the lovely decor! The communication from the host is friendly, concise, and clear. They are responsive to any inquiries in a very timely manner. I am now looking forward to returning in the summer months and would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Acadia Paradise

The pictures are accurate, the accommodations lovely. Plenty of beds. We had 10 people, if you had a full house, only having 2.5 bathrooms might be tricky. Game room was nice, as was having several gathering areas. Super short checkout list (yay!), great location for exploring Acadia. 100% would rent again!

Highly recommended for large groups!

The property was clean and inviting and had all the amenities we needed. It was also not too far from Acadia National Park, only 9 minutes from Bass Harbor Lighthouse. There were 10 of us plus our baby. Would definitely go back.

Great house for a family

We had a great time and used almost everything the house has to offer. The fire pit, pool table, bbq, etc. all appliances are brand new. Same as kitchen ware, etc. location was 5 mins away from Southwest Harbor. About 30 mins from larger Bar Harbour and Acadia. It was not a problem for us since we were not looking to be close to a larger city. Host was responsive and instructions spot on. Would totally recommend.
