We had a wonderful stay! The property had everything we needed and more. Everything felt like new and was very clean. The outdoor seating area was especially lovely and perfect for relaxing. A few items were not operational, but they did not impact our stay at all. Overall, a great experience – we would happily stay here again.

Check in was very easy. The house was beautiful and had plenty of room for us. We didn’t realize until the second day that the Bass Harbor Head lighthouse was right down the road. We had to check it out the morning we checked out. Checking out was also easy.

The location on the “quiet side” was great. There’s a corner store within walking distance. The nearby town of Southwest Harbor has a few shops and restaurants. Definitely recommend Beal’s Lobster Pier for an unforgettable experience. Echo Lake is a short drive away, and a great place for a swim. The kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of towels, pillows, etc. The house was cozy and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming Maine getaway

I have always wanted to visit this part of the US and it was everything that I hoped it would be. This property has been thoughtfully and lovingly decorated and stocked with everything you would need. Communication with the owner was quick and appreciated. If you are seeking to stay outside of the touristy Bar Harbor yet close to all options, this location is perfect.
