The house was perfect for our needs. The location was great—away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor yet close enough proximity to everything. We enjoyed the small town feel and getting to know some of the locals during our walks to to nearby restaurants and shops. We loved sitting outside with the hummingbirds and enjoying the garden.
Great little shop on a side street in Bar Harbor.
One of the bedrooms.
There was a nice shop down the street which had art work from the same artist.
Sitting room between the two bedrooms.

Great way to enjoy the quiet side

Great property and responsive host. Though the property was renovated several years ago, it feels brand new. Beautiful home, well stocked, and lots of thoughtful touches. Mrs. Meyers hand soap in the kitchen and bathrooms, dove soap for all the showers, extra towels, gift card at the local wine and cheese store. We had a little trouble with a leaking wall ac unit in one of the bedrooms. Fortunately the weather was lovely and we didn’t need to use the unit. Walking distance to multiple coffee shops and restaurants. Highly recommend happy hour and dinner at vacation land coffee roasters. Delicious food by Chef Mike and tasty beverages.

Awesome place on the Quiet Side of Acadia. Lots of trails within minutes of the home, but only 20 minutes to get to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We traveled with two adult couples and it was perfect. Walking distance to shops and restaurants in downtown Southwest Harbor.Would definitely look to stay there again on our next trip to Acadia.
