Beautiful little spot with a relaxing scenic vibe. Property was easliy accessible and in the middle of the whole Acadia experience. We highly recommend considering this property for anyone spending time in the National Park, Bar Harbor and/or any other of the Mount Desert Island area.

Our stay was outstanding. There were 2 couples so it was the perfect size. Camille and Marc were freindly and accommodating. The views were amazing and the apartment was private and cozy. The small downtown area in Southwest Harbor was quaint and about 20 minutes to Bar Harbor so away from the crowds but close enough to pop in. Highly recommended!

This property was perfect for our stay on Mount Desert Island. We loved the view. The property was well maintained and beautiful. We love staying on the quieter side of the island, and this location was perfect. We got to enjoy going to Acadia and stopping in Bar Harbor while being able to come back to a quiet area with a beautiful view to relax. Camille let us know everything we needed for check in and check out. The property had everything we needed.
