We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was wonderful, and the property's location and amenities were excellent. Weâd definitely return in the future!
We had a great time staying here! As others have shared, Southwest Harbor is on the quieter side of the island AND we had a full Acadia experience. There was plenty to do in/around that area and Bar Harbor was about 25ish minutes away. Eric was very communicative -- the check-in process was easy and the place is as pictured and described - very clean and comfortable. Would I stay here again? Yes - I have zero hesitation in recommending this place.
Great stay in a lovely property! Close to all the things you want to be close too during your visit to Acadia. Eric was a wonderful host. Helpful and very communicative. I would highly recommend staying at this property.
My husband and I stayed at this property with our dog in late June. It was clean and comfortable and exactly what we expected. The location was convenient to many Acadia trails as well as downtown Southwest Harbor. Although there was nobody in the studio apartment below us, the layout was such that it would not have bothered us if there were. Eric did a great job communicating with us and ensuring we had what we needed, and we especially appreciated his flexibility in shifting the dates of our stay at the last minute due to illness.
We enjoyed our stay as a family of four with two adult children and our dog. Itâs close to area hikes and restaurants. We kayaked one day at Long Pond. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped.
This was our first trip to Maine and weâll definitely be back. This apartment was perfect for our stay near Acadia. Everything was clean & well maintained. The owner was very responsive and happy to advise us on favorite restaurants, hikes, etc. It was amazing to be able to have the windows open in the evenings and for the temps to be brisk! I also appreciated having air conditioning available on the days that were warmer. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again!
Comfortable, clean and quiet. Well stocked with all our needs and excellent communication from Eric the owner. Easy drive from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Would not hesitate to stay again if in the area!
Enjoyed our stay. Perfectly located to the park. The apartment had everything we needed. Was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely book here again.
This was the second time we stay at this spot, this time in the upstairs unit. It was the perfect proximity to the Acaida Birding Festival headquarters and all our favorite spots in SWH. Will totally stay here again!Thanks!Meredith
My family of 4 had such a great time in this home in Southwest Harbor. I am so thankful for this peaceful retreat away from the crowds and stress of Bar Harbor. The house was lovely, quiet, and cozy. It was so clean and well-constructed. We have stayed in rental properties about twice a year for the last 12 years, and this one was my favorite. The owners are meticulous with their information and instructions which I really appreciated. They took as much time to prepare the home and visitors as I did to plan my vacation. I will recommend this home to everyone I meet who would like to visit Acadia!
We loved our stay here! The location is great for the southwest harbor and a quick drive into the rest of Acadia and bar harbor. Eric was incredibly responsive before and during the stay. A small issue arose during the stay, but Eric made sure to make sure it was remediated immediately.
Property was greatâclean, fresh, new. Located about 25 minutes from Acadia NP, close to Southwest Harbor.
Property was well-equipped. Beds were comfortable.
Overall very pleasant
I love the location of this rental. It is close enough to Acadia, Bar Harbor and anything else you may need, while also being secluded. Being a newer construction, everything is nice and new inside. Also loved each lightswitch being labeled, made knowing what each switch did so much easier. Only suggestion would be to have extra blankets available as there were none anywhere. Host was super easy to communicate with and we will definitely keep this rental in mind for future trips to Maine.
This property was away from busy Bar Harbor, but close to Bass Harbor, Seal Harbor, and many other Acadia attractions. Great hiking trails are located close by, some in walking distance. We truly enjoyed our short stay here.
My wife and I stayed here for three days during a New England road trip. Eric was awesome. Provided excellent recommendations. The VRBO was clean and in a great location with hiking trails one min away. Wouldn't need to think twice about staying here again. Highly recommend.
This was a great little 2 bedroom, 2nd floor apartment. It is new and clean. The location is great. On the "quiet side" of MDI but only 20-30 minutes from ANP visitor center and loop road and Bar Harbor. 3 minutes to Beal's, must try lobster roll! Eric was a great communicator.
The apartment does share a common entry with downstairs studio apartment. And the deck is over the downstairs patio. However, there were only guests there 1 of our 4 nights. Just know there is the potential to be sharing yard/cornhole/grill with someone else.
They have everything including scent free laundry detergent. A little thing but we have some sensitivities and no strong odors on the sheets made it nice for sleeping.
Would love a fire pit, but I undestand the danger/liability.
Overall, it was a great stay!
Perfect place from which to explore MDI and Acadia National Park!
Eric's house is a perfect place from which to explore Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. We loved being on the "quiet side" of the island, which is close enough to all of the sites and hikes we were interested in, while being a bit removed from the crowds around Park Loop Road, etc...The unit is thoughtfully designed, and had everything we needed. We especially loved spending time on the deck. Eric is a great host, is incredibly prompt in responding, and proactively communicates in a way that was greatly appreciated. We're eager to return!
Pros: Clean and everything is new. Beds comfortable and I enjoyed having multiple pillows. Owner is a great communicator and I appreciate getting check-in details early.
Cons: No air conditioning, although it is listed has having it. So hot and humid when we were there, hard to sleep, the house was in the high 80s by late afternoon
There were 2 adults, 2 children ages 9 & 8, and 2 small dogs that stayed comfortably in this beautiful well appointed apartment. Thereâs a great big deck to relax and soak up the beautiful Maine weather as well. Eric was in constant communication. Check in was a breeze. The place was clean and had no animal odor. Loved having a washer and dryer in the house as well.
The house is located within walking distance to Flying Mountain Trail and other trails if you like to hike. Echo lake is close by as well. Itâs close to Beals Lobster too. We were there almost every night for dinner.
Highly recommend staying here. Would definitely stay here again.
My family had a wonderful stay here. It was very clean and close to our hiking and sightseeing destinations. Eric was very responsive and kind. We highly recommend this vacation spot!
