Great stay for our family to explore Acadia. Southwest Harbor has a lot to explore and the drive to Bar Harbor was about 20 minutes. The house is in a wooded, quiet area with a nice fire pit to sit around and enjoy the evenings.

Great trip and great VRBO. We are from hot south and were surprised with the air conditioning situation during a Maine heatwave. Our first night was not comfortable as it took the entire night to cool down the bedrooms.

Lovely house in the Southeast Harbor

Stayed here for a weekend of climbing in Acadia and had a fantastic time. The house was great and well equipped and the hot tub was the best way to relax after a day on the rocks.
