Please feel free to message us with any questions. We also live nearby if anything is needed.

As guests, you will have the whole house to yourselves. Southwest Harbor is one of the most beautiful towns in Maine and is located right in the heart of Acadia National Park. Watch beautiful sunrises or sunsets over the ocean, hike world-class trails, visit a sand beach, kayak on a tree-lined lake, eat at a classic Maine lobster shack - there are so many amazing adventures on Mount Desert Island!

Summer only: The house is within walking distance of the Island Explorer bus system's route 7 (Southwest Harbor). The Manset town dock stop in Southwest Harbor is half a mile away and is the closest bus stop. This is an island-wide, free bus system that carries passengers and bikes to various destinations. The bus will stop at any safe location along its route across all of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island.

The house is easy access to the following as well: just over one mile from downtown Southwest Harbor, less than one mile from Cable Crossing Road, less than two miles to Seawall Picnic Area and Beach, three miles to the oceanfront, family friendly hikes of Wonderland and Ship Harbor, and approximately four miles to Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Additionally, the house is a 20 minute drive through the heart of Acadia National Park to downtown Bar Harbor.

There is a locked off storage shed with a separate locked entrance on the left side of the house. This is the only space not for guest usage.

And again, please use caution on the steep staircase going to or from the loft bedroom.

Thank you!
