Houten huisjes in Southwest Harbor

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The lake and surrounding forest were beautiful, and the hot tub was perfect for the chilly spring weather. The location is great, 20 minutes to Ellsworth and 45 to Acadia or Blue Hill. Shelby was a great and communicative host!

I wish I could give this place and host more than 5 stars! Deirdre was incredibly sweet and extremely fast to respond to any questions we had. The cabin was cozy, clean, and just what we were looking for! Our trip revolved around hiking Acadia NP, and while this Airbnb was about an hour drive to the main part of the park, it was WELL worth it. It was away from the busyness and very quiet peaceful and private. Plus it’s only about 15 mins to the Schoodic peninsula! There’s a small path to some rocks you can sit on and relax by the ocean, which after a long day of hiking was perfect! Bonus- We were able to see the northern lights from there!! All in all this place was 10/10 and I highly recommend. If I ever get the chance to return to Maine, I would absolutely love to stay here again!!

Gorgeous apartment, hosts were very accommodating and responsive. The apartment was clean and organized. Scenic and quiet location with no disturbances!!

Had a wonderful stay at this modern lake house. The home was beautifully designed, and felt very private. The kitchen was gorgeous with a great stove, plenty of space, and lots of natural light from all the windows — and the dimmable lights created a cozy, welcoming ambiance in the evenings. The big beds were extremely comfortable, and there was more than enough room for everything we needed. The lake was beautiful and peaceful, and the sound of the peepers at night made it feel even more relaxing. Had a few minor things pop but the host was responsive. Overall, it was a fantastic staycation, and we would stay here again.

Check in was easy, cute secluded place but close to things to do.

Fantastic stop on our way up to Acadia. Only wish we had booked for two nights instead of one! the wood stove was super efficient on a very chilly October night. Close to the Pour Farm and Odd Alewives breweries, which were awesome. And very quick drive to Camden for food options and excellent ocean/mountain hikes. Very clean and cozy Maine camp. We hope to be back!

Such a beautiful and quaint cabin with an incredible Mountain View! Clean and up to temp hot tub, lovely fire pit and comfortable Adirondacks to relax and enjoy the tranquility. Cabin was warm and well decorated, comfortable bed with soft linens, and just the right touches in the kitchen like fresh coffee and creamers in the fridge. I was a little wary of a “outhouse“ but it was warm and super clean with plenty of hot water and plenty of towels! We will absolutely stay again!

We had a wonderful experience! We would definitely recommend to others and stay again when we are back in the MDI area! Thank you to our outstanding hosts!

We had a wonderful visit at Caitlin’s cozy cabin! Loved watching the sunrise in the morning from the front porch and winding down with a glass of wine in the evening outside. Caitlin and Jackie were both very responsive and great hosts - will be staying here again!

Great stay; were very accommodating about our repeated, rather last-minute extensions of our stay. All I would say is that if you’re visiting in winter , you’ll definitely need 4 wheel drive to get to the house! But other than that, it was perfect for our needs and we really appreciated how accommodating Hui, Roger, and Cindy were of our changing plans. Very well stocked with cleaning supplies and kitchen things as well. Tub was really nice for my little one and we enjoyed the wood stove. Also very clear instructions and ultra quick response times. Very private. I’m sure in warmer months the fire pit outside area are really nice; as wintertime guests, once we got the car in, we appreciated being able to park so close and the absence of stairs or steps to navigate and the covered porch in front of the entry for loading and unloading.

This cabin was a wonderful place to spend the week, and I couldn’t be more happy. The hosts were communicative and friendly; offering great local recommendations. My girlfriend and I would be more than happy to stay here again!

This was the exact place we were looking for. Peaceful, rustic but with all the modern amenities, and a fire place that tops it off. Definitely recommend staying here if you are looking to leave the world behind a few days.

It was a great little cabin! Very thoughtful touches and a great location for exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. We were greeted by a Bard Owl in the woods too, it was a great place to stay.

Kimberly is a wonderful host! She made sure to check in with us and see that everything was fine, and informed us well about how to get to the home as well as all the amenities available to us and other things to watch out for (such as being off the grid, etc.). I would definitely come back again!

Very nice stay! Would definitely book this again when we want to go to Acadia National Park!

Lura’s place was dreamy. Everything about it, from the campfire to the upstairs bedroom. We had also forgot to bring certain things and this house had EVERYTHING we needed. Only 20 min away from Bar harbor… 10/10

Couldn’t be happier with our stay! Michelle was a great host and the property was everything we wanted and more. We honestly found ourselves spending more time just enjoying the property and the surroundings then some of our planned activities. It was truly hard to leave and we would come back and stay in a heart beat!

The cabin was as advertised, location and accommodations. Nice and peaceful, isolated and dark at night. Bring your head lamps and flashlights and enjoy a great night’s sleep and rustic lounging around accommodations.

Loved our stay at the cabin! The home was stocked with everything you need in the kitchen, has the most beautiful scenery to wake up to (we also were able to see the Northern Lights at night!) and while the bathroom is small, it was carefully thought through and functional. It is a bit of a drive to Acadia National Park and dining options, but we didn’t mind it with the lovely fall scenery along the way. The host was very responsive and friendly, we would definitely stay here again.

Very kind and responsive host, willing to help! We had a cozy night and the location is absolutely breathtaking and so so peaceful! Will definitely be returning this summer!

Masha's oasis cabin was just what we needed this weekend. It was so peaceful and private. No lights- just stars, no wifi- just connecting with each other. Masha was such a thoughtful host as well and made sure to check in with us to make sure we didn't need anything else. The cabin is also about an hour and a half from Acadia which makes for the perfect day trip!

If you're looking for a peaceful, remote getaway, this is the place for you. Everything about the cabin is quaint and comfortable. From the comfortable furniture and screened in porch to the beautiful private beach, everything about the cabin exudes relaxation. We were extremely appreciative of the informative binder full of brochures and menus highlighting things to do on the island. "The Island Agency" coffee blend that was provided was delicious and inviting. Plenty of dishes and cookware were provided making it easy and appealing to stay home and eat in. I would 100% stay here again.

Perfect hideaway and super cozy, quiet and clean accommodation. We felt very comfortable there and a good and relaxing time.

We had a very restful three days at Rod’s lovely cabin. This is a fantastic place to stay for those seeking to experience the midcoast area for what it is (without all the tourist traps and hustle and bustle that you’ll find in Bar Harbor area). Don’t sleep on this gem!
