Perfect quiet home base for spending days on the trails of Acadia. Southwest harbor is a quiet town away from the bustle. Vicki was very accommodating and a pleasure to stay here. The cottage was clean and had all the amenities that we needed.

Beautiful cabin!

We spent 5 nights at this cabin that was fully stocked with everything our family needed to explore Acadia. Loved staying on the quiet side of MDI, easy access to Bar Harbor and the western side. Host was very responsive to questions and we’d definitely stay here again!

Wonderful!

Thanks for an amazing stay! The cottage well stocked everything we needed. The location was perfect, set back far enough that you feel like you're secluded, yet close enough to walk into town (which we did!). The bed was super comfy and the washer and dryer came in handy! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for being a part of making our anniversary trip a memorable one. :-)

Fun Week in Acadia

This cabin was the perfect place to stay to see Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. It minimized our driving which allowed us to see and do more. We loved the grill and the fire pit. We had a beautiful deer drop by and drink from the creek. We loved the privacy that we had here! Owners were great - laundry onsite, fully stocked kitchen, dry wood provided, and so much more!

Perfect location and all the amenities in a cabin-like setting. Easy to walk to town (just walk down the long driveway) but just as lovely to relax feeling away from it all. The deck was perfect and we had a nightly firepit with the fully stocked solo stove. Laundry in the outside area was very much appreciated as were the games tucked away inside. We loved every minute of it!

WONDERFUL!!

Our second time here. It is a lovely cottage with great location. After the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor this meticulous and quiet cottage is a perfect place to unwind with a plus of a fire pit with wood provided each day. Highly recommended !!!!

A perfect getaway

A lovely property with a beautiful rustic cottage. The attached deck is perfect to sit, relax, and enjoy the falling leaves. You are only a few miles from Acadia National Park and walking distance from the harbor. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was quiet, well- appointed and you can’t beat the location. We loved having the balance of feeling that you’re tucked away in the woods but able to walk anywhere to town was a pleasure. Highly recommend Southwest Harbor!

Perfect location and experience

Quiet location in the woods was a wonderful spot to unwind after long days of hiking. Enjoyed the fire pit, exploring the woods, and we enjoyed the uniqueness of an A-Frame cabin in the woods. Vicki was an attentive, and responsive host. Provided us with fabulous hiking recommendations to explore parts of the park we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. We would recommend this property to anybody. Thanks again we hope to be back!

The ideal Acadia vacation with pets

My adult daughter (and our dogs) stayed at this absolutely perfect cottage and enjoyed three days of hiking. The cottage seems really new although the lovely owner said they have been renting for 14 years. It was really clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It feels like you are in the middle of the woods but just a minute from the cute town and a very short drive to all of the trails. There are three rental cottages on the property and would be wonderful for a family reunion or larger group. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Incredible little cabin in the woods near Southwest Harbor

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Woodland Cottage 3 in Southwest Harbor Maine. It was clean, delightfully appointed, and in a gorgeous wooded setting very near downtown. Great central location for exploring Desert Island and Acadia.
