You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

5min. Walk to Town, 5min. drive to Acadia National Park

Tucked away on a quiet side street just minutes from Acadia National Park, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to 8 guests and is your basecamp for exploring the best of Mount Desert Island without sacrificing comfort or space. It's an easy, walkable distance to downtown Southwest Harbor, so you can stroll to shops and restaurants without needing the car. With two separate living rooms, your group can split up for a quiet movie night and a raucous game night at the same time, no compromises needed.



The first floor features a living room, dining area, and kitchen in an open-concept layout perfect for cooking and gathering together. The first floor also has a full bathroom and a queen bedroom with a step-in shower, a great option for guests with mobility needs. The oversized entryway makes the perfect drop zone for hiking gear, shoes, and jackets after a day on the trails, and first-floor laundry adds extra convenience for longer stays.



Upstairs, you'll find a second living room with a queen sleeper sofa and a desk for anyone who needs to get some work done. The second floor also has two more bedrooms: a queen bedroom and a bunk room with two twin-over-twin bunk beds. A second full bathroom completes the upper floor.



Whether you're here to hike the trails of Acadia, explore the shops and harbor of Southwest Harbor, or just relax with the people you love, this home gives your group the space — and the flexibility — to make the most of your Mount Desert Island getaway.



The entire space has ac units installed from June to mid Sept and there are ceiling fans in the bedrooms for added comfort. Each bedroom has an ac unit and there are units installed in all the shared living space giving the whole house air conditioning on hot summer days. Our fast wifi will ensure everyone is able to work and or use the Roku tvs at the same time.



The side yard has a privacy fence so you can enjoy the space comfortably. There is a propane gas grill and a patio set. The yard is not fully fenced, so furry friends must remain leashed at all times!

The home was beautiful, the outdoor space was perfect (Adirondack chairs on grass with twinkle lights). I was a bit concerned about booking home with no porch, outside area but as mentioned above, was perfect and even better! Thank you!
