Quiet Side Gem
The property is lovely, with a bright deck overlooking a small fishing harbor. This perfectly equipped and spotless home hosted our quintessential Maine experience. The location is quiet, yet it's easy to access Acadia and Bar Harbor. We will definitely return!

The Ideal Acadia Getaway
The harbor was such an unbelievable setting to take in from the back deck, especially at sunset. A five-minute walk to Thurston's made dinners very easy. We ate there every night. There are plenty of great hikes and sights to take in that are a 10-15 minute drive away and your main Bar Harbor and Acadia attractions are only 30 min away. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Simply Nice!
This property is situated on a quiet, working harbor in coastal Maine. The lobster boats, pleasure vessels and other boats are fun to watch. This property is very quiet and it is still close to the charming downtown of Southwest Harbor, and still a short drive to the attractions of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. You will like the house and the location. We certainly did!
