Tucked away on a quiet side street just minutes from Acadia National Park, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to 8 guests and is your basecamp for exploring the best of Mount Desert Island without sacrificing comfort or space. It's an easy, walkable distance to downtown Southwest Harbor, so you can stroll to shops and restaurants without needing the car. With two separate living rooms, your group can split up for a quiet movie night and a raucous game night at the same time, no compromises needed. The first floor features a living room, dining area, and kitchen in an open-concept layout perfect for cooking and gathering together. The first floor also has a full bathroom and a queen bedroom with a step-in shower, a great option for guests with mobility needs.

First timers to Acadia National Park and this location in Southwest Harbor was perfect for our stay. Lovely little town with a harbor, great restaurants, and stores to visit. Also super close to all that Acadia National Park has to offer. Jen was an exceptional host and the place was perfect for our family. Honestly, we were not at the house that much as we were out exploring all the island has to offer, but the amenities were perfect for our family of four. Thanks for making it such a great trip and we hope to be back someday soon.

Great stay overall! The house was a good value with plenty of space for our group of 10, and the location in Southwest Harbor was perfect for exploring Acadia National Park. We did notice a few bugs, but that’s to be expected in this area during the summer. We’d definitely recommend it for larger groups.
