"The location of this property is ideal for visiting Bass lighthouse, taking in various hikes, visiting unassuming Southwest Harbor! The property is large, with plenty of living space, inside and out. The big kitchen has a sweet breakfast nook which overlooks the deck, while the dining room would be perfect for a lobster feed. Outdoors, the jacuzzi is private, and away from the fire pit where we could star gaze, given the wide open vistas. The garage was an extra treat, as it kept us from...
