About this property

Acadia Southwest Harbor House. Close to hiking trails, restaurants & shops.

Our well maintained 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house is located in the Village of Southwest Harbor on Mt. Desert Island, where local lobstermen start their day around 3 am. The house is located across from Milagro Coffee Bar and the Shoppes at Southwest Harbor. It is just minutes away from many hiking trails in Acadia National Park, restaurants, shops, swimming holes & beaches.

The location of our home makes it unique as you can literally walk across the road to get your morning coffee and baked goods, get your haircut at the local salon, grab a bottle of wine for dinner at the local liquor store and get some fresh cut flowers at the florist. The popular Charlotte Rhodes Butterfly Garden overlooking Norwood Cove is also across the street going the opposite direction and the Causeway Club Golf Course is just a 5 minute walk from the house.

By car you can be at many trails heads in Acadia National Park within minutes or at Echo Lake or Long Pond for swimming. A little further away by car are beaches and the Bass Harbor Light House.

Sleeping arrangements - each bedroom has a king size bed.

House has both heat and AC.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Robinette

Host profile image
We moved from Seattle to Maine in 1997 and ran our coffee shop "Milagro Coffee & Espresso" on Mt. Desert Island for 22 years. Not only do we love the beauty of the island but the close knit community that exists here.

Why they chose this property

We prefer the more relaxed southern side of the island as Bar Harbor has become to commercial and hectic.
