Great location. Loved the dark nights, yet easy walk into downtown Southwest Harbor. The cottage was nice, with all of the basic necessities. Enjoyed views of deer trekking across the property daily, and even a fox or two.

The Knowlette is ideally located within walking distance of Southwest restaurants and shops. The Causeway at the end of the lane makes for a great morning or evening stroll to observe the dramatic tidechanges.

I loved this 2 bedroom 'contemporary cabin' the bedrooms were roomy with good closet space. The large main room has tons of windows and was well laid out and comfortable. Everything worked! The kitchen space was lovely - it's a real kitchen with real kitchen stuff. Location is perfect - walk to town, or Beals lobster pier, walk to the causeway, you could even take the causeway and walk all the way to the IGA for grocery shopping if your inclined! And all the rest of Acadia is a short drive away. Super peaceful and quiet as well.

We had such a lovely time at this cabin. Couldn’t ask for a better location, secluded street but close enough to walk to many things in town. We saw deer every morning and every evening in the field beside the house. The cabin itself is fully equipped with anything you could need. Beds are comfortable and the fire pit is such a nice added bonus. Will definitely be booking again.

Lovely property and amazing hosts. It was like walking into your grandparents house (according to my teenage kids) .. we had no complaints! There was nothing we felt was missing for a spectacular stay. The house is a short walk into town and an easy drive to anywhere on the island. The locals we met were all friendly and welcoming. We picked Maine on a whim and could not have had a better vacation! We hope to come back and bring our family!

We chose this property because of the promise of a secluded cabin with walking access to downtown Southharbor. This was a very apt description. Walking to downtown was very doable plus there was a lovely walk down to the ocean. The accommodations were very comfortable with a kitchen with gas stove and most spices. We often will purchase fresh seafood and vegetables to make, so the kitchen was very conducive to this practice. The only downside (no fault of the hosts) was that the road near Seawall was closed. We enjoy Ships Harbor trail and Wonderland for bird watching. Closure of the road made this a bit more of a drive. We would definitely stay in this VRBO again and can highly recommend it.
