This unit is perfectly situated in Southwest Harbor. It is part of an Inn so your unit is attached to a home that also houses other units with other customers staying. If this is not your thing, be aware of this. We found it to be a perfect getaway for just the two of us. Our unit had a mini kitchen, dinette, couch/living area, master bedroom and bathroom. It was very clean and everything we needed was provided.
I even needed a bigger fry pan to cook breakfast and the Patti and her husband were gracious to provide us a mixing bowl,
lobster crackers and a skillet pan. Only suggestion would be to provide a cleaning spray and rag, such as 409 or an green cleaning product to clean up when using the kitchen. I'm sure if asked Patti would have provided something to tidy up the kitchen but we made due with paper towels and dawn soap provided. The unit has screened windows and sides so you can be comfortable when breezy. It does have two window ac units but we did not need them.
The grounds are beautiful and Patti has beautiful flora which also attracts the fauna I might add as we saw deer while staying. Patti's instructions for our arrival were detailed and clear. As are the instructions for the stay at the Inn. air is not a modern home but it is tidy and updated but kept within the period and style of the home, which was a perfect setting for Maine, It was reminiscent of Old Americana or a French Country Inn. Since it is a home and older, the walls can transmit noise so you have to be mindful of that and the grounds which Patti take great care to keep beautiful. So if you have kids be aware playing on the ground is not allowed. It is within walking distance to the entire town of Southwest Harbor which we explored walking in a day, from here we were were 25 min from Acadia and Bar Harbor and wishing driving distance to most of the Harbors and Villages near us. Southwest Harbor is a hidden gem with many restaurants but you also get quiet and not the busy touristy feel of Bar Harbor.
We will definitely return.
Must see sunset at Bass Harbor Light Head
Must get fresh steamed lobsters at Otter Creek Market, Blueberry Pie and Ice cream from Quietside cafe - their lobster rolls are also the least expensive and delish. Sawyers Specialties for wine! We love dining at Abel's Lobster with a water view setting.
