Ruth and I just got home from a wonderful week with Anny and Wendell on the "Quiet Side" of Mt Desert Island. Anny's Place is just a couple of miles from either Bass Harbor, or Southwest Harbor. Their home is immaculate and comfortable. They made us right at home, with occasional wine or muffins. There was even a Jacuzzi tub and a heating pad when I threw my back out! Apart from opening their home to us, Anny and Wendell were great sources of local color and knowledge. We had no problem at all with the neighbors, pets, or noise of any kind. We will definitely choose Anny's Place when returning to MDI.

The house is very nice. There are good restaurants 5min away by car, and it is located on the quiet side of the island. Anny promptly showed me the best places to visit around, and all went good.

Loved Anny's hospitality. She also gave the best tips for seeing Mount Desert Island that we would never have found on our own. She offered us some breakfast pastries and juice on her own accord. Very friendly and cool pets.

Very welcome

Ann was a lovely hostess who even allowed us the opportunity right away to enjoy a steam shower in her BEAUTIFUL bathroom. She went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable. The room was nice, clean, and private. We had a nice stay!

Room was exactly as shown on the photo. Anny gave us a very warm welcome, helped us find a nice restaurant for dinner, prepared coffee in the morning and pointed us to great spots in Acadia to explore.

Anny Was amazing. Very warm home and provided helpful information. Made accommodations for us to be comfortable. Sweet pets.

Anny was a great hostess and very thorough in showing us her island. It was a very pleasant stay despite the less than ideal weather. We did not get to see as much as we'd like due to the rain but we are definitely planning out next trip back and hopefully "our" room is still available then.

Mount Desert Island was undoubtedly the highlight of our road trip holiday in New England. The sunrise and sunset from Cadillac Mountain is truly magical. We appreciated being on the quiet side too in Southwest Harbour. The suite we stayed in was very well equipped and clean. Communication with Marty was straightforward and relaxed, a very trusting host. Thank you.

Marty was incredibly accommodating and very responsive! The accommodations were nicer than I expected!

虽然我在这里没有人住得我订了这对我的父母为他们的第35结婚纪念日,他们两人都不仅仅是漂亮的套装也是绝佳的地理位置呓语。 MDI和阿卡迪亚是他们最喜欢的缅因州西南港的区域是一个古朴的小镇距离巴尔港的人群。马蒂是很容易得到的举行和通信的乐趣。感谢马蒂,现在我们有一个地方回返回当我们访问阿卡迪亚!

该套件是一个很好的大小 - 与三个年幼的孩子的家庭,我们都非常舒适。这是关于有35分钟的车程沙滩阿卡迪亚中。东南港是安静的(而不是几乎一样巴尔港,这是一个加商业) 主床是软的。在浴室厕所位于尴尬(使上下车有些麻烦)。

Beau séjour dans un quartier calme, belle ville.

我们在西南港一个伟大的时间住在干船坞酒店。房间装饰一新,干净,有我们需要的一切。窗户也从街道阻挡了大部分的声音,所以感觉就像一个幽静的地方。从餐厅有人可用来检查我们,当我们到达如许。谢谢!

Marty and her team were wonderful hosts! We stayed in the Cadillac Suite and it was exactly what we needed. Essentially a small one bed room apartment with kitchen, dining, and small living room. Bed was very comfortable. The food at the restaurant was excellent! Very obvious it is a local favorite. Thanks!

A great find for our honeymoon. Very cute and comfortable, and within walking distance to local shops and restaurants. Marty was very a great host, would highly recommend.

We loved this space and location, and Deborah was a great hostess. We'll definitely be back!

The host canceled this reservation 90 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Deborah's carriage house is beautiful and the perfect size for two people looking to spend some time in Acadia. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking tools, and we had everything we needed to do all of our cooking. Deborah was prompt with responses, and kindly left plenty of guides and pamphlets on the area for guests' use. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Great hosts

The best part of our honeymoon was staying here at the Quietside Treetop Retreat. Upon arrival, Nola and Wayne greeted us with a welcoming smile and friendly tone of voice. Right away, I knew this was going to be a great stay. They took us up to where we were staying, showed us around the place, guided us through maps, points of interests, restaurant recommendations, and answered all the questions we had to make our time in Acadia National Park the best. To put the icing on the cake, they made our honeymoon even more special by leaving us a couple gifts to help celebrate which was super thoughtful and kind of them. Along with the gifts, they were hospitable in making us feel like we were staying at a five star bed and breakfast, having freshly folded towels, a toiletry basket in case we forgot something, and an extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and warming environment for us to stay in. Throughout our stay, Wayne and Nola were available to us to answer any questions to make our trip the best it can be. If you are traveling to Acadia NP, I most definitely recommend staying here. You will not regret it. Thank you to Nola and Wayne for such a special time. From one hospitality professional to another, you over wowed me in your hospitality.

Nola and Wayne greeted us as soon as we arrived. They did an incredible job creating a space of convenience and comfort for guests. They had toiletries in case we forgot any, saving us a trip into "town". We intentionally came in the off season to escape the day to day buzz of NYC. It was perfect having our coffee on the porch and being about 20-30 minutes from Bar Harbor, the Loop/major hiking trails was great. This truly is the quietside of MDI. They had a list of local businesses we can check out based on what we were looking for and we were glad they listed Joey's on there. Perfect local spot with a little NYC/NJ flare to grab a drink at. About a 5 minute drive. Nola and Wayne answered any questions we had and brought us over some lobster crackers from their home after picking up a fresh boiled lobster from Peekytoe Provisions. Coming out of season, a lot of businesses were closed - keep that in mind for any trips from November-Memorial Day Weekend time frame. We hope to return in the fall or springtime to get in some more hiking and tranquility. Side note: if you have Verizon, cell service is extremely limited.

The apartment is extremely clean and beautifully built. The homemade muffins were a great touch too! Thanks!

This was a get away for my wife and I for a few days and we planned on exploring MDI by car, foot, etc. The location was central to MDI, close to Southwest Harbor, and very quiet so it worked great for us. Wayne and Nola were great hosts and we really enjoyed them. It started with great communication from the time of booking, a great greeting and explanation when we arrived, willingness to help as needed (or leave us alone), and then there to see us off on the last day. I went back and read the description in the Airbnb listing after staying there and it is extremely accurate. Thank you Wayne and Nola.

We had a lovely stay at the Quietside Treetop Retreat. Wayne and Nola really made every effort possible to make our stay agreeable and make us feel welcome. I would like to mention for instance the fresh muffins cooked for us, the travel-size toiletries available in the bathroom if needed, the exhaustive maps and brochures given to us about the area, some nicely made memos about house rules or just the way every switch in the house is labelled so that it is easier to use. Communication with Wayne and Nola was always very fast and efficient. Last and not least I want to mention that the place is VERY EXTREMELY CLEAN. Overall a very excellent and quiet (as described) stay. There are plenty of lovely trails, restaurants, shops, bakeries, just a few minutes from the house.

Quietside Treetop Retreat is the perfect name for this place! Wayne and Nola were great from the beginning - I was road tripping and not sure where I would be when so I booked the morning of and they were quick to respond and let me know they could accommodate me. From there I had consistent communication throughout the day to ensure they were there when I showed up. Although it was late, they both greeted me with a smile and showed me around the place. This place was perfect and absolutely what I needed. It felt like home and the bath was exactly what I needed after my kayak adventure earlier on in the day. The place was incredibly clean and the bed was so comfortable - I slept like a baby! The next morning I got to eat the fresh blueberry muffins Nola left for me(they are amazing - and kept me fed the remainder of the day on my travels down south). Wayne was available to help me map out some stops in Acadia before I left town and made sure I knew exactly where to hit and what I couldn't miss. Although it was a short stay for me, I couldn't have had a better experience. The thing that stood out the most to me was the hospitality of these hosts and the thoughtful approach they have in all the details throughout this apartment and the stay. This place was a blessing to me and I would stay again in a heartbeat!

We had such a great time on our trip to Acadia and the treetop retreat was absolutely perfect. Nola and Whayne were extremely accommodating and provided us some local tips and maps. They can be involved as little or as much as you prefer. The quality of the apartment and furniture is great, honestly the pictures don't do it justice. Kitchen and bathroom have everything you would need or may have forgotten. We would stay here again in the future and highly recommend it to others. And yes the muffins are that great!

Nous avons passé deux nuits chez Carol lors de notre séjour sur Mount Desert Island. Avant notre arrivée, nous avons eu plusieurs échanges très sympathiques avec elle. À notre arrivée, Carol nous a chaleureusement accueillis dans sa maison et nous a présenté différentes brochures afin de profiter au mieux de l'Acadia National Park. La maison se situe dans un cadre très agréable et verdoyant. Sa localisation permet d'accéder facilement aux différentes parties du parc, notamment le 27-miles loop. La chambre et la salle de bain privative sont très agréables et bien aménagées. Grâce à un rideau entre le couloir et le salon, nous nous sommes vraiment sentis dans un cadre préservant notre intimité. Les lieux sont très propres. Les deux matins, nous avons profité d'un très bon petit déjeuner proposé par Carol (excellente confiture faite maison !) Carol est une personne très sympathique qui connaît très bien l'île et qui nous a fourni de nombreux conseils notamment pour les restaurants où manger du homard. Nous recommandons vivement cette hôte.

Really enjoy our visit to Mount Desert Island and Acadia park: so much things to do!! Carol was a perfect host. She gave us many tips on what to do (it was raining on one morning and we did'nt prepare for that) Everything was very clean. Breakfast was excellent. Perfect to start a day of hiking! Carol even made muffins for us with her own rhubarb! Thanks Carol!

We enjoyed staying in Carol's place. She provided lovely breakfast, was very helpful in giving us information and tips about Acadia. She took us even to a few of her favorite places, very special. We had a great time. Thank you Carol. Heleen & Anne

Carol is definitely the most energetic and nice and thoughtful lady I ever met. I expected one room while Carol provided a separate bedroom,a separate living room,and a separate bathroom which are all clean and spacious. And she also provided us delicious breakfast at her lovely kitchen. She also respects our privacy. We can't drive so Carol not only pick up us at the airport and also drive us back to Bangor bus terminal which really helps us a lot. She is also a very good tour guide and knows everything about the island. She drives us to the most famous spot on the island even the top of Cadillac mountain where shows us the most beautiful full view of the island. She also take time to teach us Golf and take us to see the lovely park and taste delicious lobster. We really had a nice stay with Carol and I will definitely recommend her as your first choice.

We had a great stay with Carol, who is a very good host. The attention to detail was immaculate, and we really appreciated all the little things she'd done to ensure we were comfortable. We had our own little private space (bathroom, bedroom and living room), with everything very clean. The bed was one of the best we have ever slept in! Carol made us amazing breakfasts worthy of any traditional BnB, complete with homemade muffins! The location is also a great base from which to visit Acadia, away from the tourist traps of Bar Harbor, but with all the island highlights easily accessible. Southwest Habour is a charming little town with some really good restaurants - Carol can advise!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Carol Nelson's home. She contacted us in advance of our trip to welcome us and provide directions, including how to avoid some road construction near her home. When we arrived, she showed us to our accommodations, hosted us with wine and hors d'oeuvres, helped orient us to Mount Desert Island, and gave us good recommendations for restaurants and things to see and do. Our bedroom was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was right across the hall. Carol also provided us with Wi-Fi access for our laptop, which was very helpful. We had a delicious breakfast of bagels, muffins, and fruit the next morning, and Carol even gave us some fruit to take on our trip. We stayed with Carol only the one night, but we enjoyed our stay and would recommend her home to others.

We loved our stay with Carol. The bed was great and the room was quite roomy. Carol was a big help with finding the hidden local places to explore as she shared her favorite spots with us. Great value. The only disappointment we experienced at all was that the sunroom and the deck were unavailable for use. However we often had the living room all to ourselves at the end of a full day of exploring and that was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

There is nothing negative to report about our stay. Carol was most welcoming and charming, and an interesting conversationalist too. The space was roomy, and was sparkling clean and comfortable. It was like staying in a long time friend's home with all the welcoming elements. The bed was fabulous, and the bathroom and shower excellent. The house is in a wonderful SW Harbor location, and we highly recommend Carol and her lovely home for your stay in the area. We shall return.

Die Up-See-Daisy Suite ist ideal für Reisende, Acadia National Park und Bar Harbor nahe zu sein. Vier von uns schlief bequem zwischen dem Schlafzimmer und Futon, und die Küche war gut ausgestattet mit allem, was wir brauchten alle unsere Mahlzeiten zu Hause zu kochen. Wir wachten früh am Morgen den Sonnenaufgang auf Cadillac Mountain und fanden schöne Wanderwege alle über den Park zu fangen. Wir gingen sogar auf die Straße zu einer kleinen Bucht hinunter und sah, Fischotter in ihrem wilden Lebensraum! Ich würde auf jeden Fall Jeff und Bett Platz empfehlen, und ich plane, mich eines Tages zurückzukehren.

It was absolutely spotless! Location was great for hiking around Ship Harbor and Wonderwall. Really pretty part of the island and Bar Harbor was only about 30 mins away. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was very well stocked.

I sent my parents here on an anniversary weekend trip. They absolutely loved it! They said the apartment was beautiful, spacious and comfortable and had everything they needed. They (and I) highly recommend Jeff and Bett's place :)

Jeff et Bett sont des gens adorables et nous ont donné beaucoup d'intimité. L'appartement est vraiment super, spacieuses, bien équipées et avec beaucoup de détails bien pensés. Jeff et Bett nous ont donné de belles suggestions pour les choses à faire dans le quartier. Nous recommandons cette très belle airbnb.

Jeff was a nice, very communicative host. The place was very cozy and clean.

This place was fantastic! What a treat being in the backyard of Acadia. Big and clean apartment with an extremely comfortable bed. Hosts were very prompt to reply and gave clear instructions. Highly recommend, we would definitely stay again if visiting Acadia.

Best choice!! Well located, extremely clean, well decorated, and very comfortable. Highly recommended!!

Vidunderlige lille lejlighed til et tilflugtssted. Langt nok væk fra craziness af Bas Harbor, men stadig tæt nok til at besøge på daglig basis. Smuk beliggenhed og ejendommens ejere cound ikke være pænere!

Definitely felt welcome! Neat/clean room. Great homemade breakfast!

Loved the inn, Dora and Southwest Harbor. Would return in a heartbeat! Plenty of "extra mile" touches throughout the entire stay. Thanks so much!

Great B @ B with a fantastic breakfast. Location is perfect for visiting Acadia National Park & surrounding coastal cities. Close to great restaurants. Host was very gracious & was able to direct us all tourist spots & restaurants.

Ok, let me just start out by saying there is a reason that Inn at Southwest gets 5 stars and they are the number one B&B in Southwest Harbor...Dora and Daniel are beyond the perfect hosts and the Inn is gorgeous. Dora was there to welcome us, provide fresh home baked cookies and show us around; Daniel was providing the best breakfasts I've ever had at a B&B. The best. I mean, who serves two course breakfasts? Poached pears with real vanilla beans in the sauce or grilled peaches with homemade whipped cream? And followed by, yet again, homemade sausage and blueberry lemon-cream cheese pancakes. Well, Daniel and Dora do! This is my first time visiting MDI and we picked the right side of the island by staying in Southwest Harbor. We'll be back to the quiet side and to the Inn at Southwest. Thank you Dora and Daniel for your hospitality and making our stay so memorable. You're the best!!

Dora graciously accommodated my late arrival; including the availability of home baked cookies, teas and cold drinks that are actually left for guests each day. The house is immaculate and beautifully designed 1800s home, bedroom spacious and comfortable. I loved being able to sit on the porch and around the fire at night. What distinguishes the Inn is Dora's charm and Daniel's exquisite food preparation which is worthy of any 5 star restaurant! The convenience of the location to visit Acadia and to be away from congested Bar Harbor itself while enjoying all that Southwest has to offer including better lobster, bakery and coffee shops! The resources available at the inn were great as I was a first time visitor to MDI.The bike riding loop from Bass Harbor around and up to Town Hill and back to South west made for a scenic 35 mile bike ride thanks to the kind assistance from wonderful bike shop across from the inn. I highly recommend a stay.

Thank you for staying in this wonderfull places! It was awesome and very beautyfull! Dora & Daniel are very frendly and helpfull. The breakfast was awesome too and fresh. We would definitely come back!

Dora and Daniel were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed our stay, the delicious breakfast and meeting other wonderful guests. We highly recommend staying there!

The Inn at Southwest exceeded our expectations in just about every way. The inn itself is a very well-preserved mansion with intricate attentions to detail, such as classic literature on the bookshelves, crochet sets for the lawn, complimentary walking sticks for hiking, and tastefully selected relaxing music lightly playing in the parlor. The rooms each have their own personalities, and were all large, comfortable, well-decorated, quiet, and relaxing (we stayed in two of them). The location is central to everything in Southwest Harbor, and you can easily walk to all downtown restaurants and shops. At night, there is a communal outdoor fireplace with chairs where we enjoyed sitting and getting to know the other guests of the inn. The real stars of the show, however (besides the inn itself), are Dora and Daniel. Dora took all steps to ensure that our stay was peaceful and easy. Daniel's multi-course breakfasts (included with the price of the room) are the stuff of dreams. On one day, we were treated to fresh local berries in a limoncello syrup with fresh mint and lemon sorbet, followed by eggs Florentine with a poblano-pepper-and-potato hash and crispy kale, accompanied by freshly baked cinnamon bread. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. We eagerly look forward to our next opportunity to stay at the Inn with Dora and Daniel!

Alison et Steve étaient très accommodant et fait certain qu'ils étaient là pour notre arrivée. Les choses étaient propres, organisées, et de bon goût. Le cadre est un quartier calme du côté calme de l'île, et le Golf Lane est à quelques minutes à pied du centre de Southwest Harbor. Southwest Harbor est loin d'être aussi occupé que Bar Harbor, mais a encore un certain nombre de grands endroits pour la nourriture et le shopping cadeau. L'accès à Internet a bien fonctionné. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'un endroit calme pour rester avec des hôtes, nous vous recommandons Golf Lane.

Alison et Steve sont étonnants! Ils sont très accueillants et très bien informé sur la région. Nous avons suivi beaucoup de leurs conseils et avons pas été déçus. Ils se sont assurés que nous étions à l'aise dans la maison. La chambre et salle de bains étaient propres, agréables et confortables. La maison elle-même est dans une ruelle tranquille. Le quartier est très calme avec absolument aucune perturbation. Le trajet de la maison à Bar Harbor est à peu près une demi-heure. Il est un beau disque donc ne nous dérangeait pas du tout. Dans l'ensemble une expérience cinq étoiles.

Les hôtes ont rendu très facile de localiser la propriété qui est un nichés magnifiquement dans un cadre calme. La propriété était très intéressante et la maison était très confortable et des équipements étaient super. Notre chambre et salle de bain était propre et bien aménagées et très calme.

We have enjoyed our stay with Alison and Steve very much; getting 3 signs with your name pointing you in the right direction of the house for the last mile or so is really great and makes you feel welcome! It was our first experience with only renting a room+ bathroom and I can tell you it was very nice as with Alison and Steve we could use the main living room as well and easily were able to share the kitchen next to our room and bathroom (which were great already). All the tips we got from both Alison and Steve during (the not so "small" ) breakfast for things to do in and around acadia park were perfectly suited to what we were looking for; so I can highly recommend anyone to stay with Alison and Steve as they are both welcoming and knowlegeable about the Acadia park trails and nice restaurants in the area.

Alison and Steve's place was perfect for us and we highly recommend it to anybody interested in visiting Acadia. The location is great, the room is beautiful with a very comfortable bed, and most importantly, Alison was extremely kind and generous. Alison was especially helpful and generous with her time in helping us plan every day of our vacation.

Allison et Steve étaient des hôtes: très accueillant et nous faire sentir à l'aise dans leur magnifique maison. Notre chambre, lit et salle de bain étaient très propres et confortables. Nous avons eu usage de leur cuisine, réfrigérateur, salle à manger et de vivre chaque fois que nous voulions. Nous je suis tombé pour arriver juste après Steve a fait quelques tartes aux pommes exceptionnelles qu'ils ont généreusement partagé avec nous. Leur maison est proche du centre de Southwest Harbor qui est beaucoup moins touristique que Bar Harbor et une belle petite ville. Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour et nous espérons revenir. Merci, Allison et Steve!

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour avec Alison et Steve. Ils nous ont traités comme la famille et nous ont donné des conseils précieux sur la randonnée, le vélo et le kayak que les habitants sachent. Nous avons apprécié nos conversations et les repas ensemble. Les logements n'auraient pu être mieux.

The hosts were very accommodating and were happy to provide information on Acadia hiking trails to newcomers. The room was quiet, spacious, and clean, though it can get a little cold at night in the fall. The location is not very straightforward to get to, but the hosts were very helpful with directions.

We had a great time at Julie's Little House on Seawall! This was our first visit to Maine and the accommodations were just what we were looking for. The neighborhood was quiet yet the national park hikes we did were not far away. We enjoyed cooking fresh seafood for ourselves in the well equipped kitchen. The juice and coffee were appreciated on our first morning, as we got in quite late at night and stores were closed. The binder of information that Julie provided on area attractions was helpful, especially the detailed hiking guide! Our only regret is that our vacation went by too quickly! Thank you Julie for providing a perfect place to stay.

We met Julie on our final day as we were preparing to leave her delightful house. She was a great host in that she stayed right on top of our communications and had absolutely everything prepared for our arrival, including basic provisions (in the refrigerator) for the next morning's breakfast. The house is on the "quiet" side of Acadia National Park, but it was an easy drive to anywhere on the island...and there are maps/signage everywhere. The road on which Julie's house sits was a bit busy during the day, but quiet at night. This lack of headlights helped in viewing the beautiful star-filled sky! We would not hesitate to return. Thank you, Julie.

Not quiet. The cottage is cute, well appointed, super clean, and accurately portrayed in the pictures. It is situated right on Seawall, which is a busy street in the summer. I had asked the host if I should be concerned about noise and she said she hadn't had any complaints. It's true that even the most recent reviews don't mention the cars that go by steadily during the day. The nights were quiet, which was appreciated.

' Review Julie's little house is bigger on the inside! We fell in love with the place from the moment we arrived. It served as our home base as we explored Acadia and its surrounds. The fully appointed kitchen was a real treat as was the calming, spa-like atmosphere that Julie created. The location provided for easy navigation to nearby hikes, beach, Bar Harbor and Cadillac mountain. And, the night sky was absolutely brilliant with stars! Julie is a great host and Jim and I highly recommend her "house" to other visitors.

Julie's house was an excellent home base for exploring Acadia. We loved staying on the "quiet side of the island" far away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Incredible hiking trails, two great lobster pounds, and multiple scenic shore walks are all a quick drive from her cottage. The kitchen was well appointed and we really appreciated the welcoming gift of fruit, juice, and coffee. In short, Julie's house is the perfect home base for exploring Acadia and the island.

Julie's little house is perfect for an outdoorsy stay in Acadia National Park. Cozy and nicely decorated with plenty of space for 3 or 4. Worry not, her listing is very accurate!

Julie spared no detail in making us feel super welcome and at home in her Little House- this was the perfect romantic retreat for us! The Little House is immaculately clean, and the location is fantastic. We love to cook and grill, and Julie has provided a terrific grill and tools for it, and after visiting Beech Hill Farm for amazing organic produce and dairy, we would meet Ray the Fishman (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays he parks a truck loaded with coolers on 102 just East of Seawall...) and make some amazing food! Julie even provided a little cooler for us for a day out on the water. Communication with Julie was always easy and quick, and when she couldn't be there she had Tom taking care of the Little House and checking in on our needs (thanks, Tom!) Southwest Harbor and "the quiet side of the island" is where it's at for MDI- so many great little finds- trails right off the road at Acadia Mountain/Echo Lake are perfect light hikes, Thurston's Lobster Pound is one of the best spots on the whole island! We can't wait for our next trip to Southwest Harbor and Julie's Little House!

Very cute cottage with nice amenities including an easy to use grill and information about Acadia national park. Shower/bath was very nice.
