A lovely place to stay! Conveniently located within walking distance to coffee and shops in Southwest Harbor, and a bed so comfy I took note of the mattress as we were packing up.

The Bungalow was a great place to stay for our visit to Acadia. It was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed, and two deer greeted us when we came back for the day.
The property was perfect for our stay! Comfy, cozy, clean and convenient to access so many beautiful places on MDI. We wish we could have stayed longer!
The property was very clean and comfortable and the location was amazing! We really enjoyed staying on the quieter side of the island and had a wonderful time.
We loved the bungalow and staying on the quiet side in general! Such a great area with good hikes, food, and shopping all nearby. The Bungalow had everything we needed!
Clean, cozy, conveniently located near the heart of Southwest Harbor. Walkable to center of town and just a few minutes drive to trails, mini golf, grocery store, and a lake for swimming.
Our stay was so great! The property is even cuter than pictured, perfect for a two person getaway. We were able to access everything we needed in the park and have a quieter retreat from bustling bar harbor. We would absolutely stay here again!
The bungalow was a great way to see all Acadia has to offer while staying separate from the business of Bar Harbor. The unit is cozy and has plenty of stocked appliances. Southwest Harbor is a hidden gem and still close to any sights you have on your agenda.
Location was perfect for access to Acadia National Park. Super quiet in Southwest Harbor. Would love to stay there again. Great restaurants and bars nearby. Highly recommend!
The bungalow was a lovely home away from home with just enough of everything to make our stay on MDI very comfortable. Communication with host was stellar and made check in and out a breeze. Highly recommended!
The place though small worked for the two of us. It was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. We were able to walk to eat as the restaurants wer about half a mile from the home.
Everything was clean and easily accessible. The kitchen supplied just about everything we needed for our 4 night stay. We just needed to purchase perishables. The location was perfect, close to Acadia National Park but on the quieter side. We even saw 3 deer right on the property!
We enjoyed our stay in this clean and quaint unit. The bungalow met all of our needs and provided a central location to visit all areas of Mt Desert Island.
