Maria’s house is very clean and cute. The location is great as you can check out the town as well as some nice trails that are very close. Short drive to bar harbor as well. I love that they also had some games for kids and a gate upstairs for stair safety.

Overall great location and wonderful hosts. Couches are comfortable which is important after day of hiking/riding. Quiet location and you will definitely hear the coyotes serenading each evening .

We had our second stay here. It’s a perfect quiet spot for Corvette Weekend on Mount Desert Island.

Cute, quaint, and unforgettable! Maria was exceptional at communicati!

This is a beautiful house, tastefully furnished. Owner is very easy accessible and helpful.House is very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.Beds are comfortable, property was very clean and kitchen was well equipped.

The cottage was a wonderful base for our short stay on MDI. Clean, comfortable and easily accessible to all that Acadia has to offer. I would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn't need/want to be in the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor but still enjoy the area.

The house is really charming with everything you could need - including a washer & dryer. Beds were comfy, decking was great and the local deer were an added bonus. Southwest Harbor itself is fairly small though so if you're looking lots of shops, bars & restaurants then Bar Harbor is better. But we like nice, quiet places and the local walks (Ship Harbor trail & Wonderland) were stunning. A 30 mins drive takes you to Cadillac mountain and all the amazing scenery Acadia has to offer. We absolutely loved our stay in this house & Maria was really helpful & quick to respond through the whole process. Definitely recommend

Great location. Perfect for our vacation with our dog.

We really enjoyed our stay. It certainly is the quiet side of the island. The color scheme of the house was perfect in blue & aqua. Very clean, lots of windows for lighting and views. We enjoyed the living room each evening to relax and regroup. Laundry downstairs was easy to use, the grill worked well. Each morning I walked down the drive to view the dock/bay area. Such a great view each day. Beds are comfortable, lots of room. We would definitely stay here on a future visit. Thank you!

The house was charming and quaint! It was an easy walk to the water too!

Me, my husband, and my 1 year old had a great time at Maria's place in Southwest Harbor. It was the perfect spot to explore Mount Desert Island/Acadia. 1 minute drive or 15 minute walk into SW Harbor, and about a 20 min drive to Bar Harbor. The house was very clean and had everything we needed....including the added bonus of a pack and play, high chair, and a few toys for our daughter. Maria was so kind and accommodating, and easy to text with! Would definitely recommend this place and we hope to be back ourselves in the years to come!

This house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The only recommendation I have is for there to be more electrical outlets throughout the home.

We have not rented and stayed in a VRBO since before the pandemic started. This was a great return to travel. The house was wicked clean. I now travel with Clorox wipes and there was not a smidge of dust on surfaces. The minimalist, clean design style was perfect as we all have allergies. The pictures do not do it justice,. The home was the perfect size for 1 dog, my husband and myself, and is ideally located near Arcadia. Hiking every day was easy; especially when you knew you would come “home” to a comfy bed and a garden filled with flowers and the occasional wandering deer. This was the first time that we stayed in southwest harbor, but it will not be the last. If it didn’t involve a 13-hour drive for us, we would definitely try to find time to go back again this year. The neighbors and their dog Cain were friendly. Plus the views of the bay are beautiful. Thanks so much for letting us borrow your home.

Quiet, comfortable, and cozy cottage conveniently located near Acadia National Park. We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home with views of Southwest Harbor.

Easy, pleasant, clean and tidy as can be, convenient, well-located, and quiet.

We really enjoyed this charming home. Super clean, well decorated. It was a bit difficult to get hold of the owner as I booked but all 4 guests names were on the reservation. Very comfortable home and would recommend this home.

Wonderful experience! Location was great! The Donahues were wonderful hosts, and the house was just perfect.

Small, but comfortable. Great spot to use as a hub for Acadia and Southwest Harbor activities.

This lovely home had all the important amenities to make for an easy place to be. Well stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, lovely deck with a good grill, beautiful setting with views of the harbor, good wi fi, good beds, etc. The owners were extraordinarily helpful and responsive to our needs.

We had a wonderful stay in southwest harbor. The “quit side” was beautiful and the location of the house was great. Loved the area and had a great stay

The house was clean and fresh with a white, beachy vibe. Beds were comfortable and shower was hot. Beautiful view of the sunrise over the water from the comfort of the living room! Location was convenient for quiet side activities - Echo Beach, Beech Cliff trail, waterfront dining at the Upper Deck. Maria was very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this property!!

We stayed for 3 weeks in July. The house is exactly as described in the listing, right down to the actual robin building its nest in a lilac (?) by the front door. It was a perfect base for exploring all of MDI and beyond. I couldn't believe how quiet it was despite being so convenient to the main road through Southwest Harbor. The owners were very welcoming and helpful to ensure that we had a good stay.

This is a small, older home, but perfect for our family of four for a couple of nights. The owners were super sweet and had the house warm and ready for our arrival. It was very welcoming. Great views of the harbor from most of the rooms. The street and location is incredibly quiet and peaceful. Nice backyard for the dog to explore. Just a great property, and wonderful that it's pet friendly.Thanks for a wonderful stay. We'd definitely consider staying here again in future visits. This home is a fantastic value.

The house was perfect for my husband and I. Beautiful view of the orchard next door and the harbor just down the street.

We had a great time.The house had everything we needed and was really sweet and charming. close proximity to the town as well as Acadia.Quiet at night,perfect for sleeping! would definitely recommend!

This was the perfect spot for us. Very close to restaurants, grocery, etc. A little view of the big ocean.

The property was incredibly clean and well-maintained, and Maria was very easy to communicate with. The property was well-equipped for any kind of cooking or cleaning. Southwest Harbor was no more than a 3 minute drive from the front door, and Bar Harbor was probably 20-25 minutes, but the drive went by very quickly. This was the perfect place to stay to be near enough to experience everything on Mount Desert Island while still maintaining a very comfortable vacatation atmosphere. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be staying again!

We were happy with the location and accommodations. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for proximity to Acadia.

Good experience throughout the process.

Our group of 5 adults loved this cottage. It was comfortable, quiet and clean. So many small details made this house the perfect place to stay. Who would think you would need duct tape while on vacation? Well, we did and guess what, there was a roll in the kitchen! The water pressure in the shower was awesome too. The neighbors were friendly and welcoming (Polly was great). We enjoyed Southwest Harbor because it was so low key. I would definitely recommend this cottage to my friends and I would definitely stay here again.

We had rented the Robins Nest with my family and we loved the location and views from the house towards the harbor. The home is very well maintained and it has a typical New England feel of a cozy seaside home. We would consider renting it in the future again.
