Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Southwest Harbor

Sydney’s house was perfect for our family! It was clean, with beautiful views on a quiet, private street. The house had plenty of toiletries, we didn’t need to buy any household items while there. The hot tub was clean and perfect for a breezy afternoon looking out at the water. Sydney was a great host, providing tons of recommendations on places to dine and sites to see. Perfect location to visit both the Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor! Would love to stay here again.

My family felt instantly at home in Mark’s cozy cottage. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the water and our quiet and peaceful mornings spent by the fire (Mark thoughtfully kept us stocked with wood). If you’re looking to visit MDI it was an easy 30min drive. We cannot wait to return in the future!

It is very difficult to expand upon what we have said in the past. Which is why we always book properties with Clara. (We have already booked for Thanksgiving!) The house and property are beautiful. The house is very well appointed, extremely well kept and squeaky clean. And it is so well centered on MDI. Clara is a wonderful and responsive host. We highly recommend everything.

We thought this was the perfect spot for a visit to Acadia National Park. The house was very nice, very clean, and very peaceful. It was situated in a convenient place, near both the town of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It’s a peaceful setting, with a great swimming pond just at the end of the driveway. We had two families (4 adults and two kids) and the size was perfect. Would definitely recommend!

The house and the location were lovely. The owners are so kind and responsive. We were only 15 mins from Bar Harbor and about 15-20 from Acadia. We had a wonderful stay!

We loved the house. The location was just enough off the main roads to be quiet, but still convenient. Carol was kind enough to recommend some excellent dining options. The kitchen & baths were very well stocked and equipped. We especially enjoyed the fireplace on the spacious screened porch. Our only complaint, and not a big one, is that the boiler is quite loud. We all agreed that we would definitely like to stay at the house again.

Bendigo and Jenni were great hosts from the start. They communicated before we arrived and checked in with us regularly throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their house is beautiful and looks just like the photos. Every room was meticulously clean and so lovely. The location is very private and peaceful. After a day of hiking and sightseeing it felt like coming home each evening. We would definitely book again with Bendigo and Jenni on our future trips to MDI.

We had a wonderful week stay celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Samuel and Isabel and were wonderful hosts! The icing on the cake was being greeted by their sweet labs, Enzo and Stella. Our two year old daughter always had a smile on her face every time she got to see them. She poured all her love (and many hugs) to the two of them. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Mount Desert area look no further! Their guest home was beautiful, quiet, and serene. We hope to come back next year!

The apartment was fantastic! It had everything we needed, and no clutter! Beautiful furnishings, modern, simple and comfortable. Surprised by the unexpected gorgeous view of the Narrows bridge at night - what a great seating alcove to enjoy it! Easily walkable to the waterfront and restaurants. We have come to depend on Warren's on the Waterfront and Bucksport House of Pizza over the past few years of visiting - this trip did not disappoint, the pizza and sandwiches are still top notch! We were here this time for our son's graduation from MMA, and although we rented a larger home for the younger guests and West Coast visitors, we chose this one for us, as a place to get away from the chaos of the larger home. It was simply perfect. Kudos to your housekeeping, the apartment was spotless and so welcoming - especially after a 13 hour drive from Maryland. Even though our son has graduated, we will be back. We just love the area. Thank You!!!

Kevin and Donna’s place was very clean and comfortable. It is just a short drive from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia national park. Watching the geese and ducks in the beautiful backyard each morning was a bonus. Kevin and Donna are responsive and friendly.

Jennifer is an amazing host. Our family enjoyed the stay and felt just like at home. The place was better than it was described in the ad. We reached very late at night, yet it was super easy to locate and enter. I had to leave a belonging in the town for repair, and Jennifer was so kind to agree to ship it to me once its done. I would highly recommend Jennifer as a host. Our family looks forward to being back in Surry and staying at Jennifer's place for our next vacation.

David was super helpful and accommodating leading up to the trip when our group had a health scare. The location of the house is peaceful and an easy drive to the sights. The interior design is a little dated, but we had everything we needed. The two twin bed are in a loft the is up a pretty high ladder and is totally open. Since there are windows without shades and the kitchen is open concept anyone staying up there should bring ear plugs and eye mask if you’re a light sleeper.

This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time at Mel's place! The room & area was exactly as described - very peaceful and quiet. The working fireplace in our room definitely added to the charm, and we appreciated having a kitchen area to make coffee in the mornings. Mel was also very communicative; our flight was delayed getting in, and he left clear instructions for check-in. Overall, we had an amazing visit and will definitely be back!

The place is very nice and private. Quiet neighborhood, yet close to the downtown area in Camden. Walking distance to the trail to Mt Battie. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Jason was very friendly and had clear instructions on how to use everything. We really enjoyed our stay.

So peaceful but off season. So not sure how it would be with lots of traffic and people. But the private deck and entrance was wonderful. The water view couldn’t have been more up close and personal with the beautiful harbor. The place was clean and cozy. Perfect lighting. Didn’t watch tv once. A convenient common room for extra supplies or a cup of coffee. Staff was very friendly when we were checking out. No front desk attendant and none needed. They answer messages quickly!
