We had a great stay in southwest harbor! Jen's place was as described, so we knew exactly what to expect. We loved being on the "quiet side" while still having access to Acadia.

Jen's place was perfect for our family trip to Acadia! The house was spotless, there was plenty of space, and the beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed. The sunroom and the side porch were great bonus spaces to relax in the morning and after hiking! Thank you for a great stay!
