This cabin is not fancy but well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen has like-new appliances and all the necessary utensils. There is a large flat screen TV and reliable WI-FI. The beds are comfortable, and I enjoyed sitting outside on the small front deck. There is no air conditioning but the cool weather makes this unnecessary. Pleasant neighborhood location near the harbor and close to the center of town, I would definitely stay here again. ##### Keith K. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy R.

Decided to take a quick Acadia trip (our happy place) with my 19 & 22 year-old daughters before the younger one heads back to college. We love staying on the quieter side of the island, and since we needed to travel with our dogs, this cottage was the perfect find. Marilynn is incredibly responsive - she answered questions almost before I asked them, lol. The cottage was sparkling clean, the beds really comfortable, and the deck was a beautiful spot for some pre-dinner apps & drinks. Easy walk into town and helpful suggestions in the welcome binder. I only wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Amy R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Diane D. Oct 25, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Over rated The location of this Southwest Harbor cottage was convenient to Acadia, some restaurants, and minimal shopping. Views of the harbor were limited by waterfront homes. The cottage could use some updates, including better lighting, the furniture was not comfortable, and minimal supplies were provided. In general, the site was rough, overpriced and had a musty smell. ##### Diane D. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hope A.

A half hour to Bar Harbor. Mid-October means much of the Southwest Harbor town is shutting down though, so don't expect breakfast out options. Nice location for the marathon. Clean simple cottage with space heaters as primary heat source. We had mild weather so not an issue. We made breakfast in one morning and had all of the needed kitchen appliances, pans, top of table items. Plenty of linens and comfy, quiet bedrooms. ##### Hope A.
