Everything we needed for a comfortable stay
Thank you to our hosts for providing just about every amenity we could have asked for. The house was very clean when we arrived, and we had no trouble getting in using the key code provided. Check-out was easy, too. The house itself is pretty cool and eclectic. Obviously the hosts have a flair for design. The bedding, lighting, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen appliances were all of good quality. Plenty of towels and blankets to use! Everything was incredibly well-organized and well-supplied in the kitchen. We were only two of us plus our dog, so we didn't use the entire house - but we did spread out, especially enjoying the downstairs (basement area done up as a fully-stocked game/entertainment area). The house could comfortably accommodate kids, grandparents, etc. We'd love to come back again and bring additional guests. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quieter option to Bar Harbor. To note: Many restaurants and shops in both Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor close or limit their hours after the 31st of October. Next time we will visit a little earlier. Loved the Acadia Quietside Retreat!

Wonderful home!
This spacious and well-kept home was comfortable and convenient for our family! Right in the heart of downtown southwest harbor, a few doors down from delicious breakfast and other shopping/food. We would definitely stay here again!

Great house!
The house was so cutely decorated and very comfortable for our party of 5 (one toddler, one couple, and grandparents; the rooms were separated with the primary with king and its bathroom w walk-in shower perfect for the grandparents, then the other king and the bunk room with the tub/shower bathroom on the other side of the house). Would definitely recommend! Southwest Harbor was a super cute little town. Several businesses weren’t open yet but the places we did pop into were all welcoming. We got sandwiches at Little Notch Bakery (highly recommend) and did a lobster tour with Sail Acadia (great for all ages in our party).
