What makes this property unique
**Acadia Horizon Cottage** offers a peaceful waterfront retreat just steps from Southwest Harbor. Nestled in a quiet setting, yet less than half a mile from the charming village, this cottage provides easy access to launch your personal non-motorized watercraft, or explore local galleries, restaurants, golf at the Causeway Club, and summer outdoor events—without the crowds of Bar Harbor. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises over the water, then set out to hike, bike, or kayak in Acadia National Park, all from your doorstep. And when city life calls, Bar Harbor is just a scenic 20-minute drive away.
