Incredible. Stay in great location. I prefer the southwest Harbour to Bar Harbor, as it is more local and off the beaten path away from the crowds.

Pleasant stay in SouthWest Harbor , Maine!

Very clean and pleasant with beautiful pictures and arrangements with care and thought. Very near to the main village center with some good options for meals or coffee/ice cream. Convenient for activities in SouthWest Harbor or for a short drive to Bar Harbor. Hosts were very polite and responsive for any questions and made our stay pleasant & hassle free.

We had an amazing stay! Check-in was a breeze, and Ed was great with communication. Friendly, responsive, and helpful. The place was spotless and cozy, with plenty of fresh linens and towels provided. Parking in the back. The bed was so comfortable, I honestly didn’t want to leave! The location was perfect. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and coffee. It felt like a true home away from home. Thank you, Ed, for such a welcoming experience. We’ll definitely be back!

One bedroom apartment with a full kitchen. Everything appeared to be new, clean and in good condition. Plenty of extra blankets and pillows, and the kitchen is well equipped. A Keurig and K-cups are provided.Good location on the "quiet side" of the island. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance, and some nice hikes within 5-10 minutes driving.The bedroom is on the front side of the building, so there is some traffic noise. I'm a light sleeper and it wasn't a problem for me.We were happy staying here.

We had a wonderful stay in the Manset Room at Harbor Heights in Southwest Harbor. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and features a well-equipped kitchen, which we used for breakfast and lunch. Both the bedroom and the futon in the living room worked well for our family—ideal for a couple with a child.The location is perfect—just a short walk to the picturesque village. We enjoyed coffee, popovers, and live music at The Common Good, a nonprofit supporting the community food bank. Dinner at Beal’s Lobster Pier was a highlight, followed by evening strolls for ice cream. We even took a yoga class at the community center. Ed, the host and a local high school teacher, was friendly, easy to reach, and provided a helpful guidebook with hiking tips and beautiful photos of the island.We loved exploring Acadia’s quiet side, with a ferry trip to Swan’s Island, swimming and kayaking at Long Pond, and visiting Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Renting bikes for the day from Southwest Cycle was another great experience.Highly recommend for anyone seeking a relaxing and memorable Acadia getaway. (Our photo is watching a boy fish off the pier near Beal's).
