About this apartment rental

Bird's Nest is an elevated efficiency apartment with sweeping views of Somes Sound, the ocean, the mountains of Acadia National Park, and the lighthouse on Bear Island. At the end of a long winding private driveway Bird's Nest provides a quiet get away for a couple. There is a small efficiency kitchen and a sunny second floor deck to enjoy the view while having a peaceful breakfast or evening meal.
Bird's Nest provides a great base from which to explore the trails, mountains, lakes, ponds of the less visited parts of Acadia National Park. Many of the park trail heads and the fresh water beach with great swimming at Echo Lake are less than 2 miles away. We have our own private wooded trail that is a short hike to downtown Southwest Harbor where you can board the free Island Explorer bus and reach the busier side of Mount Desert Island including Bar Harbor and the more visited parts of Acadia such as Thunder Hole and Sand Beach. You can even take a longer ride to the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia.
Our trail provides easy access to the small shops and amenities offered in Southwest Harbor. These include dining experiences from cafes and ice cream shops to fine dining.

Small but nice. Beware tall people, slanted ceiling. My husband says men should be comfortable sitting down in the bathroom due to the slanted ceiling. Nice view from the deck. Trail to town was like a little hike - look for the orange blazes on the trees that mark the trail. Local guide books were handy. There was a drip coffee maker with filters too.

The Bird's Nest was better than I expected--cuter and newer than the photos seemed. The walls are shiplap, the decor adorable in blues and whites, the furniture and bed comfortable, the deck a partly-obstructed (by the main house) but truly gorgeous view of the harbor. The place is small (but larger than I thought it would be) but headroom is only an issue in the short hallway connecting the living space to the bedroom (and I'm 5'9" and felt it wasn't difficult at all, even for a tall person). Such a beautiful place! I couldn't get over the unique touches for travelers--cubbies and drawers for storage, a suitcase rack, places to hang clothes and towels, A/C and a fan, local information, lamps, games, books, kitchenware, outlet and end tables by the bed. Absolutely lovely; I didn't want to leave. Coffee lovers should note: there is a drip maker and a French press (so bring coarse grinds if, like me, you want the better cup of coffee...or have Little Notch bakery grind you a bag, as I did). The photos don't do this place justice. Perfect for a quiet getaway!

The Bird's Nest was tops! Beautiful setting and everything you need. Susan was very communicative and even made a few minor repairs even though we did not ask that they be done during our stay. We hope to return.

The property was well appointed with everything you need if you choose to cook in the kitchen. The space is utilized really well for its small size. My favorite part was sitting on the deck and looking at the beautiful view of the ocean. It is notable that the big house in front of this property is a rental, as well and may have a housefull of people, as was the case when I stayed there.
