About this house rental

A renovated 1880’s farmhouse in the Village of Manset, two blocks up form the shore. Stroll down to the shore and watch the activity along the working waterfront. Stop in at Peter Trouts restaurant for an afternoon cocktail or the dock for boat fresh lobster. Just down the road is the Seawall and the walking trails of Wonderland and Ship Harbor. It’s a short 20 min drive to Bar Harbor or take the free Island Explorer that stops at the Manset Town Dock. The town of Southwest Harbor is about a 3 minute drive, and has gift shops, restaurants, and a specialty food market.

The house is decorated to reflect its coastal Maine location. The first floor offers a modern kitchen with everything you need for your stay. A dining room off the kitchen has seating for six. The living room has flat screen television with chromecast to watch your Netflix or Hulu. The cottage is equipped with broadband WiFi. On the front of the house is the enclosed porch perfect for starting the day off with a cup of coffee. This floor also includes a full bathroom.

The second floor has three bedrooms. The Master has a king bed and attached bathroom with shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and third bedroom has two twin beds.

Off of the kitchen is the small back deck with a gas grill. The deck overlooks a nicely large landscaped yard, and a charming terraced patio above a patch of blueberry bushes. There is a fire pit for enjoying in the evening after your day of exploring this great island.

For those coming by boat there may be a mooring available in the harbor on request.

The house was very clean. Kitchen had enough essentials to prepare meals there. The window units kept upstairs cool for sleeping. Great fire pit area!

The house is very nice and clean. Plenty of space for our family of 5. Minor complaint would be the outside shrubs around the house were overgrown and some weeds could be pulled.

Very nice warm and welcoming house. Very clean! We had everything we needed in every room. The couches and beds are comfortable. There is even a bunch of pamphlets, books and magazines on traveling in the area. I would have preferred that the one bathroom upstairs not be ensuite to the master bedroom. But overall we are very satisfied and would come back

We had a wonderful time staying at this wonderfully renovated farmhouse. We had 3 generations staying together and we had no problems with bathrooms or any sleeping quarter issues as mentioned in other reviews. House was well maintained and we truly enjoyed the outside fire pit! Large dining and living rooms were a definite plus. We even had deer visit every morning and you could see the Milky Way from the backyard! Truly magical experience!

Nothing beats MDI and staying at Ian’s place was wonderful The location is perfect to access all the fun MDI has to offer. Eating out can be a pocket punch so the well appointed kitchen and grill are a plus Can’t wait to go back

Great size house with plenty of room for our family of 4, nice kitchen, dining room, living room, and bedrooms. No A/C, but my husband is from New England, so that was expected. Plenty of fans to cool down. Great to have a king size bed in the master. Very close to some trails and areas of Acadia, but 25 minutes to Bar Harbor. On the 2nd floor, the bathroom is in the master bedroom, which was fine for us with smaller kids, but might be an inconvenient setup for older kids or multigenerational families. There is a full bath on the first floor,

There are 3 BR, all on the second floor. There are 2 BR, one is ensuite (in the bedroom with a king). The other bathroom is down the stairs, down a hall, through the kitchen, almost out the back door. It is a full bathroom, but still, if you are in the 2nd or 3rd, having to trudge down the stairs to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night is a royal pain. What is even more galling is that an ad/house info that are incredibly detailed in every possible respect would somehow leave out this important fact. I would not stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. We spent 3 days enjoying the area; hiking in Acadia, browsing shops in Bar Harbor and eating lots of Maine lobster-(btw, Beal’s in Southwest Harbor lobster rolls 10/10). The location is nice with a spacious, tranquil yard. A few deer wandered through the yard briefly at dawn and dusk, along with many songbirds. It felt relaxing. The cottage is roomy with lots of seating, beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. We would stay again.
