Harbor View is located just minutes outside of downtown Southwest Harbor on a hill overlooking the beautiful port that gives the town it’s name. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the spacious porch while watching local lobster-fishermen leave the harbor beneath a Maine sunrise or maybe a refreshing cold beverage while admiring the view of the Cranberry Islands. Harbor View can hold eleven guests comfortably, making it perfect for a multiple family getaway, and several TVs and living areas make for wonderful nights together enjoying games and movies. The incredible location of Harbor View in what is known as “The Quietside” of Mount Desert Island is possibly the largest advantage of the property. Southwest Harbor used to be a small fishing village and retains a vibrant small-town fishing community. A five minute walk to downtown Southwest Harbor allows you to spend time exploring local restaurants and shops. The Quietside is packed with some of Acadia National Park’s most beautiful hiking trails and views, including the famous Bass Harbor Lighthouse, and the gorgeous lakes of Long Pond and Echo Lake, which are perfect for swimming during warm summer months. Harbor View is just a fifteen minute drive from downtown Bar Harbor and the countless restaurants that the town holds while also allowing you to avoid the overwhelming cruise ship traffic and packed atmosphere of Bar Harbor in the summer months. Southwest Harbor provides its own opportunities for both private boat rentals and fishing tours on the untouched waters in the Gulf of Maine. The core of the house itself was built in the 1920s and retains the historic style while more recent additions including a full second floor and kitchen seamlessly blend modern living with historic building design. The first floor contains a kitchen, equipped with all necessary appliances, a living room and two bedrooms, one with a twin and bunkbeds and one with a double. The living room displays wonderful panoramic views of the Harbor through windows that illuminate the entire downstairs in natural light. The upstairs has a living area of its own equipped with a TV and sleeper sofa. Two more bedrooms allow for more comfortable sleeping room and the views from the master are unbeatable anywhere else in the house. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105620000/105616200/105616190/b1fa7082.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### “ACADIA NATIONAL PARK” Bernard Maine “QUEITSIDE” Near Harbor “Pet Friendly” Tremont - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 31 reviews CA $370 CA $1,243 total includes taxes & fees Dec 31 - Jan 1, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-31&endDate=2026-01-01&selected=105616190&PinnedHotelID=105616190&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/57000000/56890000/56890000/56889905/da18659c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Indoor Pool Near Acadia National Park 25 mins from Bar Harbor Tremont - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 43 reviews CA $628 CA $1,130 total includes taxes & fees Dec 9 - Dec 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-09&endDate=2025-12-10&selected=56889905&PinnedHotelID=56889905&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18990000/18980100/18980025/3e3c8309.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean view 4 br, huge deck with grill, walk to town, pet friendly locally owned Southwest Harbor - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 85 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-18&endDate=2025-12-19&selected=18980025&PinnedHotelID=18980025&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77820000/77811700/77811649/96113f3b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront home with deck, patio, grill, firepit, Ping-Pong, & WiFi Somesville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 8.8 Excellent 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-18&endDate=2025-12-19&selected=77811649&PinnedHotelID=77811649&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120270000/120263000/120262959/923c4c4b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family home on private dead end road five minute walk to Acadia National Park Tremont - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.0 Very good 1 review CA $424 CA $827 total includes taxes & fees Dec 9 - Dec 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-09&endDate=2025-12-10&selected=120262959&PinnedHotelID=120262959&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/62000000/61200000/61199800/61199707/11d0d671.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Home in the Heart of Acadia National Park Bar Harbor - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 43 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-18&endDate=2025-12-19&selected=61199707&PinnedHotelID=61199707&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38130000/38124200/38124160/baf6d190.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Large, late 1800s home.

The warmth of the decor and the big windows add to the beauty. The location is fabulous. It’s in a smaller town without lots of tourists, but allows for easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The people in the town are super friendly. We played pickleball at the local community center and really enjoyed meeting others there.

It provided everything we needed. It was very spacious and had a great layout. Two living areas w/ TVs, one upstairs and one downstairs. House was super clean and very well kept. Good sized kitchen. The huge wrap-around deck provided awesome views of Southwest harbor, and the Acadia mountains. The house location was convenient to all of the attractions. Hiking up Beehive mountain – amazing views at the top! Highly recommended (and you don’t have to do the challenging route to get to the top). Kayaking on Long Pond, Sunrise at Cadillac Mountain, beaching and hiking at Sands Beach, Biking the carriage roads through Acadia, watching the waves crash at Thunder Hole. This house provided easy access to all of these wonderful activities. There were many great restaurants in the area as well. Alternatively, the large and efficient commercial grill and amazing sunset views from the deck provided for wonderful stay-at-home dinners. We definitely will be back! ##### John C.

Jun 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### May 2019 Visit to MDI and Acadia Wow, our family of 7 were so happy with our stay. We were the first visitors at this home, so we didn’t know for sure what we were getting before we arrived. But we felt welcomed and assured by Shelley’s messages leading up to our trip. When we arrived we found the home even better than the pictures. We quickly settled in and felt so happy with our choice from the first minutes. The home had everything we needed for a week in Maine. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, dinnerware, cups, and silverware, etc. The beds were comfortable. My wife and I enjoyed the roomy upstairs front bedroom and we shared the 2nd floor bath with our son and his wife. It was very nice to have a full sitting area and desks on the 2nd floor. On the main floor we enjoyed the spacious family room and dining room. The family room has an entire wall of windows that lets ample light in all day. The furniture provided comfy sitting area for our whole family. Our younger children stayed in the two main floor bedrooms and were very happy there. Outside there is a nice deck with a great view of the harbor, outside lounge area, a dining table, more chairs, and a grill. In the back is a nice little place to have a campfire. Parking is easy and there’s a nice little walkway to the home. The town of Southwest Harbor is lovely. The people are so nice, and there are lots of restaurants, shops, and coffee places within an easy walk from the house. They call Southwest Harbor the “quiet side” of MDI, and now I understand why. It is a great place to stay to see all of Acadia. Also, Bass Harbor is close by for dinner with less than a 10 minute drive. But the best reason to stay here is the hospitality of Shelley. We could tell that she put a lot of love in decorating and furnishing the house. Also, she is a lifelong resident of the area and knows so many helpful tips. We cannot over emphasize how much we enjoyed our stay. We hope to be back soon! ##### Ed J. Stayed 6 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kannah B.
