Chickadees Nest was a comfortable place for our family to return to after exploring Acadia. We cooked many of our own meals there and found the king sized beds to be very comfortable. It gets very warm upstairs on hot July days with no a/c but the owners provide many fans to help with that and to help cover the noise from the busy road in front of the house.

Chickadee's Nest is a quaint little cottage in Southwest Harbor. It's really convenient to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Plenty of cooking utensils in kitchen to make meals. Several good restaurants are nearby. One of our favorites was Charlotte's Legendary Lobster Pound. It's a great place for a family vacation!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Chickadee's Nest. It was the PERFECT place to stay for our trip to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The house has a great location on the quieter side of the island. It is close to hiking, downtown, restaurants, the lighthouse, marina, and more. The house itself was perfect for us and is even BETTER in person than the description and pictures show. It is ADORABLE! We felt like we were staying with our family...cozy, quaint, comfortable, and just right! We were able to VERY comfortably fit our family of 6...2 adults and 4 teenagers. There was space for everyone to not have to be on top of each other. The house actually has 2 King beds, 1 Queen bed, and a Twin daybed in the loft...so it is more like having 4 bedrooms instead of 3. It was very nice to have 2.5 bathrooms, too, especially with having four boys. Two of my kiddos have dietary restrictions so we knew we would be cooking all of our meals at home. Our host was VERY helpful with providing the additional spices and cooking pieces that we needed, without hesitation. The kitchen is pretty well stocked, too, which is a big plus. It was very helpful to have a washer and dryer, too. Everything you need is provided, even dishwasher pods, washing machine pods, toilet paper, napkins, coffee filters, and paper towels. We've stayed at several houses where we had to bring all of those consumable supplies. Our host went out of her way to make us feel welcome and to help us with our needs :)

Quiet side of island! Make sure you eat at a lobster pound!!!

This house is felt like home when we first got in. The kitchen is fully functioning and well stocked of cooking tools. The grocery store is just on the other side of town, maybe a 5 minute drive, and a restaurant, The Upper Deck, with both great food and views, is right across the street. Danielle is very communicative, answering messages quickly.

We had a wonderful stay. The location of the house is perfect for an easy walk into Southwest Harbor, or a quick drive to trails and other towns on the Quietside of the island. Bar Harbor is a short drive away, or catch the Island Explorer shuttle. The main road is right outside, so there is a little bit of road noise, but it didn't bother us. Furniture inside the cabin is comfortable and we were impressed with the updated appliances in the kitchen. The perfect vacation home for a Maine trip-- no frills that you wouldn't need, and all the things you do need to have a great stay in one of the prettiest villages on the east coast.

Enjoyed our stay. Rustic home in a good location. House needs some slight updates, but we were aware ahead of our trip, so it was as expected. Met all our needs for a good family trip!

House very close to road. Around 5:15 in the morning starts with traffic noise. All showers/tubs on second floor. Walking distance to town is short. A very nice walk. Great neighbors. Owner answers emails promptly. Main compliant would be the road noise. Not all bedrooms had same concern with noise. Downstairs bedroom seemed to be better.
