Quiet Getaway
Very clean and well kept carriage home. Hosts were very friendly and had lots of good information and suggestions of things to do on the island. House is on the south western side of Mt. Desert away from Bar Harbor so it is a great spot for someone wanting to be away from the crowds but still close by to the national park. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful cottage- Great location- Perfect for all our vacation plans!
The cottage house is wonderful- super clean and cute, and completely equipped for all our needs. My husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary- and had a great time! We could come and go for each day's adventure in Acadia and the surrounding area. We'd love to come back in the changing seasons!

Amazing stay in Southwest Harbor!
We just spent two weeks at Cyd and Ken’s wonderful place! They went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. Their place is beautifully decorated (including fresh flowers) and warm and cozy. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen, fireplace, comfortable furnishings and great internet access. Trails into town and to Acadia are accessible from their property - quite a treat! They are very responsive to questions/requests. A perfect vacation (thanks Cyd and Ken)!

The Carriage House is a true gem on the “Quiet Side” in Southwest Harbor Maine! Cyd and Ken were are wonderful hosts and made us feel so welcome. Little touches like fresh flowers, wood for the fire pit, lots of books and pamphlets on Acadia…I could go on. Everything was wonderful! Thank you Cyd and Ken for helping to make our vacation extra special! 💕

Honeymoon Retreat
My new husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon as we explored Acadia National park and the Bar Harbor area. The cabin was absolutely perfect! It was very cozy and had everything we needed. Our first night we arrived late in the evening and it was pouring rain, but Cyd and Ken kept the light on for us and made sure we got settled in safely. They also gave us good directions and tips for touring Acadia NP. They were delightful hosts with a diamond of a cabin.
