The Carriage House

The Carriage House is a charming converted barn close to the town of Southwest Harbor. Multiple Acadia National Park access points are within 2 miles of the cottage. Bar Harbor and the Park Loop Road are 20 minutes away. A perfect hideaway for 2 people looking for a quaint retreat. The cottage was recently renovated and updated and is super cute. The perfect spot for a getaway. 3 night minimum stay.

Wonderful and very well appointed “farmhouse” rental in southwest harbor . The owner was very informative of the area and quick to respond in communication . The king size bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed . I would happily return and recommend to my friends to stay there .

Super cute place, very clean and has everything we needed. It wasn’t as secluded as I had hoped from the pictures, but it was great nonetheless. Definitely a lovely place to stay, especially if visiting Acadia.

Charming farmhouse with own parking spot. Located near many hikes. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor aren't too far. The farmhouse location is quiet with less hussle & bustle. Perfect place for two people.

Great 4 night stay. Good location far enough from Bar Harbor crowd, but close enough to get to everywhere. Plenty of good spots to eat around the immediate area - Little Crust Bakery, Beal’s Lobster, and Peter Trouts.

We enjoyed our 3 day stay. The Carriage House was as described and comfortable for the 2 of us. Well located for travel around Acadia and beyond. Ingrid responded imediately for help with the internet and followed up with a call to make sure we were fine. Great to have a washer/dryer too!

Very nice country style barn like (smell of the old wood) home that is perfect for a couple. Not very far from Acadia and bar harbor. We went in the fall and it was beautiful.

Perfect spot on the quiet side! Everything was just right in the property, the bed was so comfortable and the 2 recliners were a welcome relief after a long day of hiking! Highly recommend!

The location was great for visiting Acadia all 3 days we hiked and we could come back to our rental to rest and there were several great restaurants nearby. Ingrid responded quickly to my question about the grill on the property.

We had a fantastic experience staying at ingrid’s place. She was very welcoming and provided clear instructions for check-in. Ingrid had clear and timely communication. The place was very clean and nicely decorated, and had all the amenities that we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to local attractions and dining options. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like the welcome note and bottle of wine on the kitchen table. I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a cozy and convenient stay.

This is a really neat old farmhouse with ceiling beams and an old barn door with all you need. Convenient to Bar Harbor(10-15 min) and a grocery site just down the road. Acadia National Park is all around.

We had a comfortable stay at the Carriage House, which was in a short distance to town. We had an anniversary dinner at Red Sky which was delicious. Although close to the main road, we heard little to no noise at night. Everything was provided at the cottage and it was perfect for two people.

If you don't want to read the entire review, just book this place now--you will not be disappointed! Ingrid sent us check in instructions and info about the property, what was included and what was not included at the property. The instructions were very clear and we had plenty of advance notice-pretty much bring your own toiletries, including soap and shampoo. Everything else is there. Wonderful little house! The house was VERY CLEAN, no odd smells, water pressure was good and hot. Everything worked just fine, including the coded entry locks, trash take out was a short walk, had grills and a firepit available, quiet for the most part, several stores within a mile (check out Gotts for the best homemade cookies!), we did not use the heat or the TV, but we assume they work, fridge was clean and worked great, washer/dryer combo was great and there is extra storage in the entry way to store shoes and coats, etc., shower was big enough for me (6'3"/220), no bath tub, plates and utensils provided, no dishwasher, plenty of parking even for a trailer and easy to get to and from. We spent most of our time in Acadia, which is 20 minutes away and around Bar Harbor, which is about the same distance. We were so glad we stayed where we did (Southwest Harbor) and not near Bar Harbor. This place is top notch, and really only good for two people. There are a few similar cabins behind and beside but there were no issues. This cabin is not super secluded. 5 stars for this one!! :)
