Excellent location—close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. This was such a comfortable house to go back to after full days in the Park. So clean, fully stocked kitchen, laundry machines, comfortable beds and living room, nice towels…We highly recommend this place!

Everything was as promised in the property description and in notes by recent guests. The property is in a wonderful location for those interested in visiting Acadia National Park and nearby towns. It is comfortable, well maintained, well appointed, and welcoming. Our host, Amy, made it so easy for our group of four to check in and out, and to fully relax and enjoy our time together by the coast. The kitchen is set up with plenty of prep space and a full set of cookware items to support an enjoyable dining experience. We enjoyed regular sightings of deer neighbors (including 2 playful fawns), hummingbirds, and all sorts of birdlife around the home. Enjoy a short walk (and even shorter drive) to Seawall with a perfectly peaceful start or end to your day!

House was perfect! Beautifully decorated, comfortable and cozy. Wildlife everywhere - deer, turkeys, birds and ducks! Great location on the quieter side of Mount Desert Island. Very convenient to Acadia and everything else we wanted to visit in the area. We highly recommend.

Amy’s place was the perfect relaxing spot on the quiet side of Acadia. We loved the comfy beds and proximity to Wonderland Trail, Bass Lighthouse, and Charlotte’s lobster pound. Across from Charlotte’s was a perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the water, away from the Cadillac Mountain crowds.

This is such a serene property. It was clean, quiet, and so relaxing. We even got to see about 20 deer through the window. It’s not super close to a lot of restaurants but definitely a restful getaway!

This is a lovely house on a very secluded, wooded road. Clean, warm, just as advertised. We loved it. Deer everywhere and close to ocean and hiking trails. The host, Amy, was immediately responsive to messages. Maine is beautiful - we will be back. Highly recommended.

I stayed at Stepping Stone last year and decided to stay for two weeks this year. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with deer frequently visiting. It’s a very clean and comfortable home. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking or there are local places to eat out. There is a fire pit conveniently located just off the deck for roasting marshmallows. I love the Southwest Harbor location and I would definitely stay at Amy’s home again!
