Charming and Cozy Cottage

This house was lovely. The setting was relaxing and quiet. We were able to walk to some of the small local stores and bakeries nearby. Convienent location for accessing the national park and many local attractions. I cannot recommend this home enough. We would definitely go back!

Great House!

The experience we had with Ingrid, the owner, was exceptional! The house was exactly as stated on the rental description. Southwest Harbour has some nice options for restaurants and is close to Bar Harbor. The updates made to the house were nice and fit the style. If I was going back, I would stay here again!

Fantastic vacation house!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautifully and thoughtfully decorated home. The hosts were very communicative and immediately reached out when it looked like Hurricane Lee might affect our stay. The house had everything we needed and was conveniently located with stores, restaurants, and a great coffee spot close by. The beds were very comfortable and the house was extremely quiet with plenty of off-street parking. I would happily stay here again if we’re back in this area.

Four Winds Cottage Southwest Harbor, Maine

Absolutely loved this 'quiet' side of Bar Harbor. Beautiful home, perfect for our family of 5 adults and 2 toddlers. Loved the porch fire pit a few nights, comfy beds, LOVED the lay out of this home, My only comment would be that the traffic on Main Street was a bit busier than I would have liked. I suspect the area has grown. We would definitely come back. Thank you Ingrid and those contributing to the prep for our stay!

My friends and I were in town to run the Mount Desert Island half marathon and hike Acadia National Park. We greatly appreciated the amenities provided and cleanliness and warm feeling of the house. The sunroom was a great place to relax. This was the perfect location for us and town was very walkable. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Our stay at the Coastal Cottage was exactly what we needed as a group of 5 adults. The location was perfect for our adventures around MDI and the house was in great condition! The small touches like having beach towels, extra blankets, coffee, laundry, etc. available made our stay even better.

Wonderful hospitality and property

I coordinated a group of photographers for a 4 day shoot in Acadia National park. I originally booked a property in another town but the host's terrible communication skill made me decide to cancel and look elsewhere. Fortunately I found this property and Ingrid. What a difference! Ingrid truly understands hospitality. Every question was answered with an hour. She provided area information about the park and local restaurants. She provided very complete instructions for check-in and what was provided on property. The property is right on Main St. in Southwest which is on the quiet side of the island. The property was absolulely immaculate, hospital clean. We had 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a well stocked kitchen all the essential tools. There is plenty of room to gather between kitchen, dining room, living room and TV room but also some separation to hang in smaller areas. The deck is large comfortable. The house is decorated very nicely with coastal art and artifacts. After the false start with the first property, Ingrid's professional demeanor and attention to detail to make sure we had a good stay was greatly appreciated. Having spent 18 years in the hospitality industry, both Ingrid and the property would get an 11 in the 1 to 10 rating scale. I highly recommend this property and host. Southwest Harbor is a great base of operation for an Acadia visit if you are looking for fewer people and a small town feel.

Very clean, lovely cosy home

This home is very clean. We enjoyed our stay and love how cozy the place is. The kitchen is well equipped which was very helpful since we were there during off season and lots of restaurants were already closed.

The house was perfect

We had multiple generations! Mostly family aged 6 weeks to 81 years old. Also had a couple who are best friends. We enjoyed our time together. The parents of the 6 week old already miss the fun and the built in babysitters
