National park experience

The trip to ME from NY was to see Acadia National Park. This property in Southwest Harbor was was a short ride to the park. The location made it convenient to have dinner in Bar Harbour or Southwest Harbour. The property was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We enjoyed our visit to the park and the house we stayed in.

Acadia in the fall

The pictures don't really do this property justice. Very spacious with lots of beautiful outside spaces. Tucked away in a quiet area but close to the park. The nearby hike at Flying Mountain was spectacular. Lots to see and do a short drive away. The house is clean and well equipped. We didn't spend much time there, but it had everything we needed. The owners are accessible and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Blissful Retreat

Every aspect of this rental experience was great for us. It began as a challenge because tropical storm Lee was arriving with us,but Jennifer could not have been more helpful and we arrived safely and in time to nestle into this beautiful property. Spotlessly clean and nicely appointed with comfortable beds and a warm, inviting livingroom. The fireplace was a treat and we used the jacuzzi every night after each busy day. We cook alot and there was nothing lacking in the kitchen,lots of dishware,glassware, pots and pans. I especially loved the varied artwork in each room and the selection of books and reading material. There is a welcome binder with all you need to know about the house,but rest assured if you have a question or issue, Jennifer will answer immediately. She was so quick to offer answers or guidance and I was very impressed and grateful. The deck is lovely and there are lots of comfortable seats to relax and enjoy the bucolic surroundings. We had deer visit everyday and stargazing from the jacuzzi was sweet! Acadia is pure magic to us, this being our 4 vacation there. The Green House was everything and more and I sure hope to return here for my 5th visit!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Higgins

My husband Dave and I have been coming to Mount Desert Island for years. I grew up coming to Maine as well in the summers and never tire of this wonderful location. We have three children and a dog, and plan to retire here when they are all through college! Email me with questions!

Why they chose this property

This home is built for comfort and has mostly one floor living. Mount Desert Island is a wonderful place to spend time in the summer and the climate and surroundings make you feel healthy and rejuvenated. It has a variety of amenities including hot tub, pool table and ping pong. A huge wrap around deck, ceiling fans with remotes, AC in Living Room and Master BR, and wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedrooms make it very comfortable.

What makes this property unique

In Southwest Harbor there is something for everyone! Young children enjoy exploring the rocky coastlines and hiking and swimming in our nearby lakes, adventurers enjoy hiking, boating and biking on amazing carriage trails, and older visitors like to drive throughout the park, golf and visit gardens and exhibits.
