About this property

The Stanley home is a comfortable 2 bedroom family home nestled at the top of the hill at the end of a dead end road. The property includes a large back deck with patio set and grill for barbeque on summer nights. With an attached fenced in play yard for your pet and a large unfenced area out back for children to play, this is the perfect property for a family getaway.

You can choose to enjoy the quiet, nature filled back yard by the orchard or simply walk out the front door for ocean views. Just down the hill is a popular spot for photographers to capture the sunrise over the harbor. This home is a short 1/2 mile walk to restaurants and shopping in Southwest Harbor and provides easy access to hiking trails and Acadia National Park. In the summer and fall this rental is walking distance to weekly farmers markets and art vendors.

A few notes about the set up of the house:
1. Both bedrooms are on the second floor. The bathroom is on the first floor.
2. There is a bar style table in the kitchen that seats four people elbow to elbow. There is a more traditional dining set up on the back deck.

Great getaway on the quiet side

We stayed here while visiting Acadia. The house was clean, comfortable, and perfect to bring along your dog! The view of southwest harbor was beautiful and so peaceful. We enjoyed being able to come back and rest after adventures in the park!

perfect stay

Ashley's home was absolutely perfect for us! It was sparkling clean, well equipped and pet friendly. The dog run outside was so convenient for early morning and bedtime potty trips. Everything we reached for was right there, and the view of the harbor was spectacular. The apple orchard filled with handsome bucks was an endlessly entertaining bonus!

Getaway to Maine

We came to Maine with our two dogs to hike in Acadia National Park. Ashley’s place ( the Stanley House) was perfect for us and our dogs. It was in a calm and peaceful location in Southwest Harbor ( on the quiet side of MDI). The dogs loved the outdoor run. We loved the view of the orchard from the back deck. Inside, everything was super clean and well stocked. This felt like home away from home. We also appreciated Ashley’s great communication and updates post Hurricane Lee ( we arrived just after the storm passed). Her suggestions for places to find great food were spot-on! We hope to return to Maine again, and we would love to return to the Stanley House.
