This cute and comfortable apartment is perfect for two people. It is clean, nicely furnished and well stocked. The location is wonderful--a quick walk to restaurants and town --as well as being in beautiful Southwest Harbor and near some spectacular views. A great find!!!
We used the property as a base for hiking in Acadia and it was perfect. Southwest Harbor is a lovely little town - much quieter than Bar Harbor but with easy access to everything. The kitchen was great - much better fitted out than a lot of places, with lots of pots and pans and everything you might need. We'd definitely stay here again. Also the manager was extremely responsive.
Nice little apartment in Southwest Harbor that makes a great location to explore Acadia NP and short drive to Bar Harbor. Would definitely book again if we return.
We felt very cozy in this apartment. One thing that should be pointed out is that it is 17 steps up a very steep set of stairs that are so narrow you have to walk up and down with sideways feet. Other than that it was comfortable and all worked well.
This is a great base from which to explore all of Acadia NP and Mount Desert Island. Southwest Harbor is small but charming—unlike busy Bar Harbor, which is still only ~20 minutes away. The suite is perfect for a couple, and quite comfortable. Only issue is that the road is a bit busier than we expected, but during the day when you’re out having fun it’s not a concern, and at night we just shut the windows, turned on the fan and AC, and slept quite comfortably. All in all, definite recommend.
A great apartment to stay in during our visit to Acadia. Nicely painted and decorated. Plenty of room. Nice, comfortable bed. Great little deck for relaxing after a long hike.
Very comfy bed, nice living area. Very small table, but we made it work for meals. Be prepared to climb quite a number of very steep exterior stairs to get in & out of the unit. Didn’t put garbage outside as the barrels were o reflowing & crows were scattering trash.
Overall, a quaint place to stay if you want to enjoy the quieter side of Acadia. You do still have road noise - so make sure to check if windows are open. Also, I did not realize that no tables / foldable tv trays were no available. So, it did make it more challenging. Another thing is I am used to some amount of coffee being provided besides the coffee maker. The location is very good and you can walk to some local restaurants and shops that very good and fun to go to.
This place is in an excellent location, close to so many things to do but out of the hubbub of busy Bar Harbor. This upstairs apartment is cute and with a little attention could be perfect. It had nearly everything we needed (and Susan quickly arranged to have missing pillows delivered). Upon our arrival, the space smelled musty due to it being a warm day and all the windows closed and a/c turned off. A good airing out before guests arrive would help. The sofa bed mattress was really lumpy, but tbh, I’ve never found a sofa bed that was comfy. The sheets on the main bed also smelled musty. The towel rack in the bathroom was pulled out of the wall. Also, it would be helpful if the parking spaces were marked (#1,#2,#3) because there are three separate units sharing the three parking spaces. A couple of times the guests staying in the back unit parked behind our car making it difficult to get out of our space. None of these issues were insurmountable, and for the price, this place worked well for us. My daughter and I had a lovely stay in Southwest Harbor.
