Escape to this peaceful home away from home nestled near the shores of Somes Sound, where you'll greet each morning with an unforgettable sunrise over the ocean inlet, Sargent Mountain, and Acadia National Park. This tranquil home enjoys a wonderful location near Echo Lake and the boundaries of Acadia (just over a mile), kayak rentals in the charming town of Southwest Harbor (four and a half miles), and the bustling restaurants and shops of Bar Harbor (11 miles). Other great attractions include Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf, Bar Harbor Whale Watch, Acadian Boat Tours, Wild Gardens Of Acadia, and Lamoine State Park.
Upon entering this well-appointed abode, discover a welcoming living area furnished with your comfort in mind. Spread out comfortably on the sofa and watch a fun show or movie, or challenge your friends to an entertaining game using the Playstation 3 console available. The full kitchen has all the major appliances and utensils needed to prepare delicious homemade meals and treats for the crew, including a dishwasher for easy post-meal clean ups. The home was built in 1900 and well-maintained and loved by its owners. However, as was common in that era, the interior stairs which lead to all bedrooms on the second floor are steep and can be a challenge to some age groups. If accessibility is a concern this may not be the home away from home you are looking for.
Outdoor you may enjoy the picnic table where you can enjoy meals alfresco and a firepit surrounded by comfy chairs, the perfect setting for storytelling after then sun has set.

Cute place to stay
Really cute home. Cozy foe out family of 4. Not far from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We saw a couple of deer outside the house on our first morning there. The stairs are steep and all sleeping accommodations are on the second floor, so keep that in mind when booking for anyone with limited mobility. The coffee maker didn't work which was a bummer for someone who needs thier am caffeine.

Enjoyed our Stay!
The property met our needs very nicely. We wanted a place close to Acadia and Bar Harbor so we could drive back and forth easily. We made use of the laundry and kitchen and found both to be nicely equipped. It was very convenient to have two bathrooms!
We enjoyed sitting outside in the lawn chairs during a sunny afternoon and one evening around the firepit.

Great location, comfortable place
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was on the quieter side of the island but it was easy to get everywhere. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Very nice home
Nicely decorated, cute little home in southwest harbor. It has everything we needed. Very clean. Squeaky floors upstairs, but it didn't bother us. 20 minute drive to bar harbor, which is where all the actions at. Staying here, away from the crowds was nice. Great pizza at west eden, just a short drive away. Weather didn't allow us to grill out and eat outside, but we definitely would have if we we could have. This is a great place to stay.

Great Stay
It was very welcoming home that had a large dining table to play games and eat as a family. All the light switches were labeled which made it really easy to know what you were turning on. Unfortunately, we didn't get to enjoy the great outdoor seating and fire pit.
The bath rooms were large with plenty of storage. There were plenty of towels and places to hang those towels. It was nice having the washer and dryer especially after hiking in Acadia.
It was a short drive to Bar Harbor, Acadia and Southwest Harbor. We did the sunrise at Cadillac Mountain so the short drive was very much appreciated.
Our only challenge was that our elderly parents had trouble with the stairs and our tall nephew had to duck when coming down the stairs. It was a very comfortable stay that we will enjoy again. We didn't get to spend a lot of time in this area.
