Cozy 1-bedroom Efficiency in Village Center, Southwest Harbor- "Manset Room"

Nestled in Southwest Harbour, this delightful efficiency apartment, “Manset,” offers partial views of the Harbour and is easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, and cafes. Partially renovated in 2025, the unit is on the second level of a five-level condo building. The space offers 1 cosy bedroom with a queen bed and a futon couch/bed in the living area for additional guests.

Southwest Harbour is known as the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island. There are numerous hikes, walks, and attractions in nearby Acadia National Park, including the Seawall, Bass Harbour Lighthouse, Echo Lake Beach, and hiking trails. The Island Explorer Bus (free) stops at the centre of town, providing access to all the villages of Mount Desert Island. There are several restaurants nearby that serve lobster!

When you book, I will send you a curated “Acadia and Mount Desert Island Quick Adventure Guide.” The Guide features highlights of Acadia National Park and details for local restaurants, cafes, and hikes. It includes links for must-see places in the park, the Island Explorer Bus system, activities, and some hidden gems!
