The greenhouse was a great place to stay! It was clean, spacious and in a great location on the quiet side of Acadia National Park. Only about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor and less than 5 minutes from the Southwest Food smart, so anything we forgot to bring we were able to run quickly to the store to grab. Overall, my family & I would definitely stay again! We throughly enjoyed our week here and can’t wait to come back to explore Acadia again!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Greenhouse! It was such a peaceful spot to come back to between adventures in Acadia and Bar Harbor. Most places we wanted to visit were just a 20–30 minute scenic drive away, and we were only about 5–13 minutes from Bass Harbor and Acadia Mountain.Check-in was super easy, and the place was spotless. We didn’t need to reach out to the hosts, but it was nice knowing they were just a text or call away. You can tell they’ve really thought through all the little details that make a stay feel extra comfortable, especially the full kitchen with a coffee grinder, coffee maker, and a bunch of spices. It really felt like a home away from home.

Cool spot for a vavation

Enjoyed our stay here. Clean and had everything we needed. My family really enjoyed how quiet it was around and the outside space. Location was really close to places to eat, hike, whatever but quiet enougb to be private. Host was responsive and easy to deal with as well. Great stay!

Wonderful Family Stay!

We traveled from VA with our 2 kids and pup and stayed a week in this cozy and very well- equipped home. The garden is just beautiful and the location on the quiet side is private but also still very close to so many hikes and the little village of Southwest Harbor. We hope to be back!

Its amazing to arrive at your home away from home and discover it's even better than you expected. The beautiful yard and private location on the "quiet side" of the island are perfect when you want to escape the crowds.

Great place!

We really enjoyed staying in this house on the "quiet side." It was a great spot for launching each day to explore different parts of Acadia. Loved the welcome gifts, kitchen was super well stocked, and house had a comfy living room area. Beautiful location off the main roads, loved seeing the deer move through. We hope to come back!

Fantastic property in great location

My family and I spent a week in this house and we loved it. The open space inside was great for cooking and relaxing, and the space outside was great for our young kids to run around. Our hosts were gracious and were more then happy to give us advice for hiking, swimming, and places to take our dog. We would stay again for sure.

Peaceful Surroundings But Just a Short Walk To Town Center

This is a really nice house! It is comfortable, nicely decorated, and very clean. It's well supplied for your stay -- good kitchen equipment and plenty of towels. It feels secluded but is an easy walk to town center. And the wifi works like a charm at 100+ megabits!

Adorable little house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Owner was easy to communicate with. The house was as advertised. It's little rustic, and perfect for our family plus dogs. We spent the majority of our time on Mt. Desert Island out hiking, biking, & exploring. It was fantastic to have a private space to come home to! More than sufficient for our needs, reasonably priced, and would book again.
