We absolutely loved our stay at this property in Acadia, Southwest Harbor. The location was perfect, peaceful, and scenic, yet close to everything we wanted to explore in the park. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped, making it easy to relax after long days of sightseeing. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear that the house provided a comfortable 'home base' for your Acadia adventures. Tremont is such a special, peaceful corner of the island, and we’re so glad you were able to enjoy the scenery and relaxation it offers. We would love to host you again the next time you head our way.
Warm regards

Our stay was fantastic—spotlessly clean with a fully equipped kitchen and a quiet neighborhood. The location was perfect for our hiking trip

We spent the week at the house celebrating my son's graduation and thoroughly enjoyed the space. The house felt brand new and very clean and had great gathering spaces to play games and spend time together with close enough access to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

We couldn’t be happier with how the stay went. The house is newly renovated, spacious, with a very large and impressive family room and large well appointed kitchen. It’s in a very nice quiet area but still with easy access to Acadia national Park and Bar Harbor. Bedrooms are very pleasant with nice bathrooms, there’s a nice screened in porch and back deck. Overall a great place and we’d be very happy to come back!

Hi John,

Kind regards,

This property was absolutely perfect. We used it as our home base for exploring Acadia. We were able to come "home" and unwind. Much less commotion on the Quietside. We cooked dinner one night in the wonderfully outfitted kitchen. And thr dark skies were amazing. We'd sit out on the spacious deck with all the lights off and just gaze at all thr stores. I used the opportunity to do some dark sky photography. I highly, highly recommend this house. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to stay there.
For anyone looking to stay in a genuinely fantastic home on the quiet side, look no further. We felt incredibly lucky to have found & booked this property. The house was extremely clean, functional and super comfortable (all of the seating was so comfy - esp after a day of hiking!). The kitchen is wonderful and was thoroughly enjoyed by those of us who love to cook and/or keep the chef company. The great room provided the perfect spot for dining in and/or movie nights on the big screen TV. We also appreciated the additional comfort provided by thoughtful additions such as the ceiling fans & blackout shades in the bedrooms.Our doodle also absolutely loved the house and its dog run!We truly loved staying at this house and also really appreciate how communicative The Knowles Company was, providing all of the information we needed before ever being asked.
We had an amazing stay in Summer Winds for our trip to Mount Desert Island. This property is drop dead gorgeous, with high end amenities and plenty of room to spread out. My mom appreciated that the bedrooms were on the ground floor, and we all enjoyed the barn/great room for watching wildlife and enjoying the monster TV! Our little dog Ginger enjoyed the freedom of the dog run, and we were all impressed with the high end kitchen fully loaded with everything you need to create a gorgeous meal.
Communication with the owners and the property manager was smooth and efficient. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this beautiful property!

The property is newly renovated, as such its very upgraded in many ways and true to its premise very modern with the convenience of an added ice maker machine. The problem is with vrbo app. The first time i booked it got rejected because of limitation on my debit card, the second time I was charged @$50.00 more from the vrbo charge. I called a vrbo support person and gave all the info and i don't remember getting a feedback from the vrbo company.
