A wonderful stay

The property and view are amazing. Exactly as listed and clean. I would still be there if I didn’t have to go back home. Words can’t describe how great waking up to harbor with the sunrise every morning actually is until you see it. Can’t thank the owner enough for providing such a great location.

Excellent Experience

House was very clean and well provisioned. Comfortable beds and the view was great. 20 to 30 minutes to the Acadia park and nearby town had enough nice places to eat and good grocery store. We really enjoyed our visit!

Amazing Stay!

This is an awesome place to stay if visiting southwest harbor! It is out of the hustle and bustle of bar harbor, but only a short drive to hikes, Acadia, and the bar harbor town as well. It’s so nice to wake up and be able to enjoy the water views and sun rising of the water on the patio. We really enjoyed the stay and the host made it easy and great! The two downsides were having to vacuum b

Great little-big cottage!

Loved the craftsmanship of the cottage and the views were beautiful. Very spacious and had everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen and huge bathroom would maybe add some towel rings for hand towels in main bath. Loved Southwest Harbor and location was walkable to downtown and many restaurants. 20ish min drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Christie was awesome and even got lobster cooked to delivered to our place. Thanks for the stay in your beautiful cottage would love to come back!

Charming Cottage - Anniversary Retreat

Acadia has so much to offer and this home brings just as much with the updated living, amazing sunrises from your bed, beach access, and more. Having town in walking distance was a great bonus to walk over for breakfast or later in the evening for drinks. Our host was great with easy communication and clear instructions for check in and out! The only improvement suggestion is a coat hanger or rack when you walk in the home :)

The Lupine Cottage was lovely, right on the water, and in a fabulous location. The quiet side of Mount Desert Island is fantastic, particularly Southwest Harbor. We would definitely stay again!

A wonderful stay

Our family absolutely enjoyed our stay in this house while visiting Acadia National Park! It is very updated, very clean and super well stocked. The weather was not ideal during our stay, but we still enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the harbor in the rain and fog, very relaxing. Very close to the village of SWH, a grocery store and a few nice restaurants. Communication with the host was quick and smooth. Highly recommend.

WHAT A GEM!

We had an excellent vacation in this quiet and relaxing VRBO! The view from the master bedroom is fabulous and from the upper deck as well! The owner is easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything necessary for our stay! It has all the comforts of home and such unique and beautiful accessories throughout the entire house. It’s tucked back from all the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. We highly recommend this rental and hope to return one day soon!!

Another great stay!

This is our 4th year staying at this property in Southwest Harbor and as always, it was clean, comfortable and a great home away from home on vacation. Christie really keeps the house and amenities nicely updated, and this year we especially enjoyed the fire pit and the grilling area. The view from the house is amazing, and the walkable location to downtown is so convenient. This year, we also had friends stay at the cottage on the property and everyone had a great time. 5 stars are not enough for this property!

Wonderful!

We loved this rental! The pictures truly don’t do it justice. We could walk to town and catch the shuttle to the rest of the park. So nice to be on the quiet side. Christine was an excellent and communicative host. She made everything so easy so all we had to do was enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much for a terrific stay!

Magical Family Adventure

We had such a magical vacation with our 5 year old. The house is located in a great spot. Walkable to some restaurants, bakery and shops. And close to Wonderland and Ships Harbor which are so fun to explore with kids. Close enough to bar harbor and Acadia carriage roads to make a morning or afternoon adventure. We had fun going to Beech Hill Farm and grabbing some produce for dinner on the deck with view of the harbor. The House has a rocky beach out front which was fun to explore at low tide. Overall this was the perfect family vacation. The house is very well equipped, clean and communication with the host was very helpful and responsive. Hope to come back next summer!
