Om boendet

Large house on 3 acres in woods, 5-minute walk to ocean, 5-minute walk to town

Greetings Prospective Renters -

This is our third year posting the "Knollen" on VRBO. Please see our profile of the "Knollette" on VRBO for ample reviews of the smaller home on this family land.

In 1937 our great-grandfather built the Knollen on three acres of land . At that point in the island's history, innumerable island plots were available to him, including many oceanfront properties, but he chose this spot. The location is wonderful.

The property includes a big grassy field, beautiful woods, and a much smaller cottage (the Knollette, also available for rent on VRBO). While the Knollen has not undergone any major renovations (including the kitchen and bathrooms), it's large (offering ample bedrooms), lovely, quiet, comfortable, and full of simple amenities. With extended family members living here for months at a time, we can attest to its high level of functionality, comfort, and charm. The living room can accommodate large family gatherings. Two particularly special spaces include a first-floor, screened-in porch with traditional wicker furniture and a large, second-floor "sleeping porch" - both of which offer close, peaceful connection to the surrounding woods.

The Knollen is located on a quiet, private lane. Walk 5 minutes and you will discover the causeway at Norwood Cove - a spot that offers wonderful vistas of the ocean & mountains; dramatic tidal activity; opportunities for swimming, SUPing, canoeing, kayaking; peaceful sitting spots; and spectacular night skies. Walk 5 minutes in the other direction to the center of Southwest Harbor, a small quaint town where you will find shopping, dining, art, crafts, a bike rental store, and a wonderful public library. You'll also find access to the Island Explorer, the free shuttle to all parts of MDI and Acadia National Park.

Acadia National Park is a playground for walking, hiking, biking, swimming, boating, and picnicking. Explore scenic ocean trails, carriage roads, beaches, mountains, lakes, and nearby islands. There are also opportunities to rent boats of various sizes; play tennis, pickleball, or golf; antique hunt; visit museums and art galleries; eat ample fresh seafood; and more.

Perfect family vacation

Me, my husband, our four children, my in laws and parents stayed. We had the best time. The home was beautiful. We loved having a home base to play games together, eat and read. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful vacation home.

Great Family Stay in Maine

Our immediate family stayed in this beautiful home during a larger family reunion in Southwest Harbor. The house was spacious and clean and had everything you needed to cook a small intimate dinner to a Thanksgiving feast. The kids loved the porch room where the cousins would play for hours. We saw deer, chipmunks, lots of birds. We loved the quietness of the area and the close proximity of the causeway and town Would definitely stay again

Amazing charming house in perfect location!

This house is wonderful. Beyond charming and a perfect family house for our family. We spent mornings drinking coffee sitting in the lovely screened in porch, lots of walks to the causeway to see the starfish and crabs (and stunning views) and loved coming back each day after our daily adventures. Such a great location in walking distance to several happy hour and dinner spots. It’s really a special place with so many original, super unique little details. The host was incredibly responsive and directions around the house were super easy. We were sad to leave and can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful place to stay

What a beautiful family home - so, so special. We felt very lucky to be able to stay somewhere with so much personal history. We often cooked and the kitchen had everything we needed. The sun porch was lovely for lounging and the fireplace was fantastic for chilly mornings. Our 4yo loved the books, train set, beach toys, and woodpecker doorknocker. The property and its location were fantastic - lush woodland, a big lawn for games, near a causeway for tide pool exploring, and not far from town. Adair made us feel really welcomed and was available for any inquiries. Highly recommended!

Waking up to a birdsong

It's hard to describe how perfect of a location for a family "Maine" vacation this place actually is. In the immediate vicinity there is so much. From harvesting mussels near the causeway and making an amazing dinner in the rustic but not kitchen, to the birdsongs every morning on the porch, this place has it all. With sadness we had to pull out one last time from the driveway and go home but before we did that we hiked all that we could and walked to town every chance we could. Southwest Harbor is a phenomenal location as well, it's perfectly pointed with all the things you need, but none of the traffic of Bar Harbor! Come and enjoy, you will not be disappointed!

Like staying with family

This large rambling house is very much like staying with relatives with lots of family pictures on the walls. It reminds me of grandma's house with all the original furniture, pots and pans, and warm wool blankets. The coffee maker is large "Mr Coffee" style and some filters were provided. The wifi was fast and easy for me to work online. The TV is in a small separate room from the large family room and only has 2 chairs. The large family room has lots of books. It was quite cool during our stay and the downstairs furnace was appreciated. There are small portable heaters for the bedrooms upstairs. The two showers are "box" style and the large bathroom with the tub is relaxing. The house is tucked back into the woods so is quite. There is a wheeled cart to help carry your luggage to the house on the gravel path. Recycling is encouraged. The owners were very responsive to questions and any issues that arose. Lots of birds in the trees and even a turkey and deer in the yard. Very close to Beal's lobster restaurant with great lobster and sweet corn on the cob. We didn't use the fireplace but there was wood provided.

Peaceful Perfection minutes to All things Acadia/Bar Harbor

In my opinion, I would much rather stay at this secluded home vs. dealing with the chaos of Bar Harbor and Acadia area! It was great! We got the best of both worlds. Traveling with a large group so there were limited options - and this home accommodated us perfectly. 3 full baths including a tub for the kids... plus additional half bath. My kids loved sleeping in the upstairs sleeping porch waking up to treetop views! We made several home cooked meals and had all we needed to do so! Also enjoyed nearby eateries... Upper Deck was a favorite and so close! The uniqueness of this VRBO stay was displayed by the family's love for this home sprinkled throughout. Photos on the walls, a notebook with their personal fav hikes and tips on what to do. Kids loved the causeway and we visited several times. We loved Flying Mountain!!! Highly recommend! We dipped into their board games too. Last but not least, since we traveled in the fall we got to use the floor furnace and the fireplace. So cozy!!! Wish we could have stayed longer...

Perfect

We had a great stay at the Knollen. It was large enough for our group, kitchen was well stocked, outdoor screen porch was a favorite hangout. We were able to walk to town (easy 10 minutes) and to Beal's. We made it to the Causeway to see the supermoon and the bioluminescence. We've been going to SWH on and off for 35-40 years and this is one of our favorite places we've stayed. Thank you!

Memory Maker!

Both this home and property are beautiful. If you want to spend your vacation making special memories with your family, this is the place. We enjoyed walking to the causeway several times each day, the visiting deer, playing lawn games, hunting for wild blueberries, visiting Acadia, making meals as a family... Our kids (ages 3-8) loved the sleeping porch - so many beloved books, LEGOs, a desk...just a really beautiful room that made them feel adventurous. The green space contrasts well with the surrounding woods. You feel like you're away from everyone yet really you're down the street from a cute downtown area! Loved hearing the church bells. Would definitely stay here again. The only negative was the unexpected heatwave that really made the upstairs hot. Would have loved portable fans. But truly, it wasn't that bad. I'm in my 30s and it made me feel like a kid again enjoying my summer with my grandparents. Adair was great with communication - very helpful and quick to respond.

Om värden

Adair Fox är värd

Our family has enjoyed MDI since 1937 when great-grandparents built the Knollen, a large wooden house on the property. Since then, it has been a treasured gathering place for our large, multi-generational family. During the summer, family members often live in the Knollen while renters enjoy the smaller house (the Knollette). During non-summer seasons, we live in Denver, Washington D.C. and Copenhagen. Those of us who have flexibility in our schedules are increasingly enjoying visits during the fall, winter, and spring, too.

Varför värden valde detta boende

The Knollen is a great space for a small family reunion. The grassy field is perfect for family games. The kitchen is not updated but it's highly functional and amenable to cooking for large groups; it has two refrigerators; abundant cookware & serving materials; and a dishwasher. The dining room table can be extended for larger groups. The living room is big and comfortable -while there are other special spaces to enjoy and spill into (a screened-in porch, a sleeping porch, a small tv room, extra bedrooms). Since the Knollen is just a short walk to Norwood Cove, downtown Southwest Harbor, and a free shuttle bus to various parts of the island, it's possible to explore spots near & far without use of a car - a boon for many.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

At the base of South Causeway Lane is Norwood Cove and its little footbridge (the causeway). This cove offers expansive vistas of Somes Sound and sweet spots for daydreaming, reading, sketching, painting, canoeing, kayaking, SUPing, fishing, and picknicking. Around high tide, adventuresome folks jump off the bridge and body surf under the bridge. At low tide we enjoy exploring shells, stones, and shoreline marine life. Meanwhile, our peaceful property is a lovely place for playing on the field, exploring the woods, making fairy houses, and observing deer.
