Southwest Harbor vacation rentals

We absolutely loved our stay at Carlow and Karen’s cozy little cabin. So many small details that did not go unnoticed and made our first family getaway so special- excellent communication, super comfortable beds and linens, a wonderful shower, small fairy lights that were so cozy at night. A beautiful yard with water views were priceless. The swing and the dock were a hit with the kids. We can’t wait to return!

This cabin was such a peaceful, beautiful escape from the world. It truly looks better than the pictures- very spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. It's equipped with everything you could need. The skylight and screened porch was magical in the rain. Eric and Diane were excellent hosts- appreciated the instructions regarding the woodstove and the recommendation for a rainy day excursion to the Schoodic peninsula :) This is the perfect place for anyone interested in exploring Acadia or Bar Harbor. Can't wait to return!!

Incredibly nice people. The owners are right next store and were working on installing a hot tub while we were there.Because of the small size, it was easy to climate control, which was very nice. Very peaceful, 7 minute drive to the grocery store and no more than a 20 minute drive from everything we did. We don't find ourselves in this part of Maine often, but my wife said we should stay here again if we ever need to be in the area, looking forward to enjoying the hot tub. As a bonus, there are two nice outdoor cats, and I bonded with Blizzard.

If I found myself back in the area I would definitely stay here again. Ivy was extremely responsive and friendly and the rental was super clean and tidy and had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bathroom had extras should you have left anything behind and the welcome basket had snacks and enough coffee/tea and creamer to get you through a few days. We were also given a ton of towels which I can't appreciate more. I've stayed at places that give you two towels for like a weeks stay. The literal only downside was the cabins are close so our neighbor came home very late two nights in a row and the headlights and doors closing woke me up but it didn't wake my husband up so it's not an issue if you're not a light sleeper. I definitely recommend Ivy's place and really appreciate the attention to cleanliness she provides.

Lovely little cottage on a quiet peaceful road. The lake is gorgeous to see through the windows or off the porch, the drive to Acadia and bar harbor is a breeze and Ellsworth Main Street has plenty to offer. Jackie and Kurt are great hosts!

Galen and Cindy were wonderful hosts! The cottage was incredibly comfortable and made my husband, daughter, and me feel right at home. The location is perfect—just about 30 minutes from Acadia National Park and close to great restaurants and shops. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! 😊

We LOVED staying in the cottage! It’s beautiful and cozy and stunning — even more amazing in person than the gorgeous photos :-) Iveta and her husband are so kind and helpful, you could not ask for more amazing hosts! Would love to stay here again.

Great spot! Highly recommend!

Worth the price.. place is perfect for family getaway! We experience the best sunset just 3mins away from the house. Host is very proactive... Thank you for the amazing stay!

We have been going to this area of Maine for over fifty years. I found this gem several years ago and haven’t stayed anywhere since. I find it to be peaceful, walkable to the center via footbridge, it’s all that we want. Kathy is a great host, quickly responds to any questions or needs you may have. We always know we will have a great experience staying here.

Seven stars out of five! We have stayed in numerous places in Maine over the years, and given a lot of five star reviews. This one surpasses them all, hence the off the charts grade. It is incredibly well provisioned, spotless, spacious, inviting, and has an enormous porch with a view so lovely it looks fake. You can't even hear your neighbors, let alone see them. We heard loons, crows, and one very belligerent owl, but not once did we hear our neighbors. The only way you will know the tenant is home, is that a car will park opposite on the side of the house from you. The fire pit makes it easy and convenient to host a fire, even if it is only for 45 minutes or so. Kayaks are provided along with life jackets. At night you can see millions of stars. Place is so peaceful and comfortable, we almost didn't make it into the park haha. We will definitely be back!

Amazing and beautiful place! Kitchen has species, butter and other nice little things! Just I just wish the residents were allowed to use the fireplace, it's real, not imitation.

A group of us stayed at Camp Lamoine and were impreased with this property! It was close to Acadia National Park and other areas we decided to go. Spectacular yard and even had a place for a campfire! Comfortable inside and would stay again. Thanks!

It was a cute little house. Very close to the Maine Savings Amphitheater for the concert we went to! I would like to mention that there are planes and helicopters that go over the house throughout the night. If you don’t mind the noise, it’s a cute little area.

Beautiful home with a large backyard and super clean. Destioney is a considerate hostess; laid out dog bowls, snacks, water and much more! I would recommend bring earplugs if you're traveling with people who snore loudly or kids as the doors are hollow. Beds are very soft.

lovely family home. Had every thing you would need. rules are explicit. it may be helpful to know that the one bathroom is on the second floor.Although family is not in the area, they were responsive in a short period of time. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We were traveling up the east coast for 8 days with many stops along the way. This stay was by far the most like “home.” We were able to fully relax and enjoy the scenery! Beautiful home and very clean.

Brian's place was awesome! We had a great time. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit by the water one night, and easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor was ideal. We already are talking about going back

The house is cozy and comfortable. Very easy to find. The host is great, very clear instructions.

My husband and I spent our babymoon at Jennifer’s place, and waking up to the stunning lake view each day was just what I needed to unwind. I asked Jennifer if there was cooking oil available, and her mom kindly brought us a bottle of olive oil before our arrival—such a thoughtful gesture! We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

Loved our stay here. One of my favorite Airbnb's we stayed at in Maine.

The lakeside cabin was just what I needed. Quiet, private, and right on the water. My dog loved running in the yard and swimming in the lake. The cabin was comfortable with all the basics, and sitting on the porch watching the water was so relaxing. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet.

We had a wonderful weekend with friends for my husband's 40th birthday. Friday afternoon was beautiful for grilling and then a fire by the lake at night. Saturday was chilly and rainy which made for a great opportunity to take full advantage of the garage with multiple rounds of poker, some ping pong, pool, and darts. We had some sun again on Sunday for some relaxing on the dock and down time enjoying the beautiful view before heading home. Everyone agreed that they'd love to return.
