Absolutely Stunning!
Excellent 10 stars! The unit is just as it's listed. Comfortable beds, bedding, and bath towels. All the nice touches; couch, chairs, deck furniture, extra outlets, etc. etc. we could go on and on about how special this place was! Every detail down to the minute with the traveler in mind! After hiking, nice to pamper yourself with excellent comfort and awesome details! Having the trailhead down the road is spectacular! There was even a dog bowl for our pup! He loved the place too! Thank you for sharing your place with us! Very Appreciative!

Great place, totally brand new. Cozy, lovely and well appointed. Easy check in and out, great communication from the owner. It’s location is perfect to get out and enjoy Acadia then come home and relax. We will definitely be coming back next time we’re in Bar Harbor area.

Perfect location and great place to stay
I am happy that we stayed here during our time in Acadia. The location was convenient to a grocery store, restaurants and some of the best trails. It wasn’t as busy as the other side of the island which was a huge positive. The property itself was clean, beautiful and comfortable. It had everything we needed. The only minor thing I have to say is that I wish there was east one other mirror other than the one in the bathroom. Overall everything was awesome.

Perfect get away
We had a great stay! When searching for accommodations, we were unsure about SW Bar Harbor but those uncertainties were quickly erased! SW Bar Harbor is quaint, has a lovely town center, and a lot less crowded. Nearby trails and the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse was nearby too! Eric, the host, communicated frequently and so it was easy to check in, find the house, and enjoy. The house is well built, nice furnishings and comfortable. Nested in the woods but so easy to get to. I give this property the highest marks! Jeff

Great location for Acadia Nat’l Park area
The home was such a comfortable home with a deck to enjoy the fresh air and to see the night sky. Close cafes and lots of lobster choices in the area. The owner was very helpful with directions for hiking in the area. It was new construction and fully-equipped. Can’t wait to come back again and stay longer!

Great trip and experience
This was our first time using VRBO. Traveled with my father and son. This rental was great and allowed us to relax and spread out. Very quiet street, clean and well kept house. Very close to southwest harbor and a short ride to park loop and attractions. It was nice to be on the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island. Would stay here again. Easy to get into house and owner answered any questions quickly.

Perfect home for our needs
New home in a quiet location within walking distance of Acadia National Park trails. Short drive to the center of Southwest Harbor and a public golf course. Nice new appliances and very clean. There is no air conditioning, but it was not necessary with the cool Maine air. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with.

Everything You Need and Your Dog Too!
This is a lovely new house, in a beautiful setting, right in the vicinity of everywhere you'd want to go in Acadia and Bar Harbor and it's very dog friendly too! This house is set in a pine forest with fledgling gardens, a corn hole court and and nice seating area. The kitchen and pantry are well stocked--better than anyplace I have stayed before, making it easy to settle in for some fun. There is a huge deck that our dog loved to be on to bask in the sun. The property is very thoughtfully designed with motion-sensitive lighting in the closets, pantry and exterior, lots of windows, effective ceiling fans in every room and easy shared laundry facilities. The furnishings, large dining set and beds are comfortable with soft linens and the bathroom has plenty of towels and other necessities. Lastly, the house is 2 minutes from the shops and restaurants in Southwest Harbor, 15-20 minutes to the heart of Acadia and a bit further to Bar Harbor. The owner is pleasant to communicate with and set everything up to be easy. Should we return to Acadia we will stay here again!

Acadia trip
Stayed at this home with my 2 kids (12 and 15). The house was perfect for us: clean, comfortable, well-stocked with everything we could need, and in a quiet neighborhood. Deck is beautiful and great for relaxing in the evening. We went to Acadia and hiked every day. The house was very conveniently located for this. It’s about 20 minutes to Hulls Cove visitors center where we parked every day and took the Island Explorer bus to various trailheads. Host was great with communication before visit and responds quickly. Highly recommend, would definitely stay here again

We had a great time at this property. The apartment was clean, and stocked with a fridge, laundry, extra fans if we got hot, and extra blankets if we were cold. It was remote and quiet which is what we were looking for. We had a rainy day in and the place was cozy and the dining table was perfect to do a puzzle! Definitely recommend staying here.

Brand spanking new and equipped with everything
We were so comfortable at Eric's beautiful property, which was brand new, sparkling clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could think of -- from electric fans in the bedrooms, to a water filter in the fridge, to a dog bowl (though the place was so spotless you'd never know dogs sometimes stay there). All the switches were carefully labeled and the access instructions were clear and simple. We also appreciated all the helpful info about Acadia and the area. All around it made for a very pleasant and carefree stay.

Secluded property in a quiet neighborhood. Quick drive to nearby Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The apartment was spotlessly clean. Great for a couple, but easily accommodates a group of 4. The property owner is a great communicator and easy to get ahold of. We will definitely be seeking out this property if we are ever in the area again.

New, clean, well appointed property on the quite side of the island. Great place to come back to after a long day of hiking. Shops and restaurants of Southwest Harbor, grocery store and lots of lobster pounds within a few minutes drive. A really nice trail less than half a mile down the road. Couldn't ask for a better place for a week at Acadia.

Our family of four stayed for three nights this past week as we visited Acadia NP. Eric was fantastic to communicate with! The house is a hidden gem and in a perfect location just north of the town of Southwest Harbor. We could not believe how quiet it was even with the windows open at night.

Great Find in Southwest Harbor
This was a great find in Southwest Harbor! Everything in the house was brand new and spotless. We really appreciated the little details that other rental properties tend to overlook (like a hook for your towel next to the shower, outlets by the bed to charge your phone, luggage racks, etc.). The location was perfect! A short walk (~10 minutes) or drive (~2 minutes) to the Flying Mountain and Valley Cove trails which connect to a number of other great hikes. You are also a short drive to the main shops and restaurants in SWH (be sure to check out Hearth and Habor, Salt Shop, and Peter Trout's). Bar Habor is ~20 minutes away. We loved how secluded the spot was and we really enjoyed being among the trees when sitting on the deck. Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to experience the best parts of Southwest Harbor!
