Charming and Clean

We enjoyed our stay at this adorable cottage. It had everything we needed and is in a great location, especially close to the Bass Harbor lighthouse. The biggest challenge we faced was the size of the shower and bedroom... they're pretty tight for a 6'5" man. But everything was clean and accurately described. We appreciated this lovely place!

Perfect cozy place to stay while visiting Acadia. We were able to eat breakfast, pack a lunch and spend the day in the park hiking and biking.....and then return for dinner and a good night's sleep. Quiet, great location, clean, all the things you'd need in a kitchen without being cluttered. Laundry was a bonus. Clear instructions from the host, and very responsive to any questions. Highly recommend staying in Southwest Harbor - so much more quiet and relaxing, while still close to everything.

Southwest Harbor Bungalo

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location was perfect for enjoying all of the Acadia area, while being within a short walk to downtown Southwest Harbor. The Bungalow was updated, clean, and comfortable. It was also convenient to have a washer and dryer within the unit.

Immaculate, comfortable stay for two near hiking, freshwater swimming and ocean walks

Everything was as described. Tasteful, comfortable, furnishings and kitchen/dining setup. A curated set of everything you need rather than a hodgepodge of items left by previous guests. On a main road, so close to swimming, hiking, SW Harbor center and other Quietside places, while not far from the other, busier side of MDI. Very organized and responsive host, with clear instructions about everything, including WiFi . Perhaps the cleanest vacation rental I've encountered. Not secluded, but just lovely.

Relaxing getaway

While small, the size of this properly was perfect for my husband and me. We absolutely loved the "quiet side" of Southwest Harbor. It was centrally located to all the activities we wanted to do. Numerous amazing places to eat (both Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor). The owner was extremely quick respond when we had issues with the tv. I would definitely stay again.

Quiet side of the island near coffee shops, ice cream shop, and Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Clean with comfortable chairs for lounging and reading. Kitchen equipped for our needs of assembling sandwiches and storing cold drinks. Loved having access to washer and dryer. The only improvement would be a preference…firmer mattress with breathable cotton sheets.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bungalow! It was perfect for our Acadia getaway. An easy 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and even a few cute coffee shops right down the street from the property. Ingrid was also very responsive and easy to contact with questions!

Acadia or bust!

My husband and I had been wanting to explore Maine and Acadia for years and finally bit the bullet. The accommodations at The Bungalow were perfect for our needs. The area has the nickname "the quiet side of the island," which we really appreciated as well (Bar Harbor was crazy!). We basically just slept and showered at The Bungalow, but we did take advantage of being able to do a load of laundry and have a frozen pizza for dinner one night. My husband and I both slept liem rocks! The bed and bedding were both very comfortable, and the bedroom was wonderfully dark. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Bungalow again and would definitely recommend.

The Bungalow was perfect for the two of us. We appreciated staying on "the quiet side" of the island. It wasn't difficult to get to Bar Harbor, but we enjoyed visiting the Southwest Harbor shops and restaurants, too. We had breakfast at the Clark Point Cafe, which had only recently opened, and it was terrific! It was so nice to have a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. We would definitely stay there again!

Great for 2 near Acadia

My husband and I recently stayed here. It was perfect. We were very close to a few different parts of Acadia and 20 min out of Bar Harbor. It was nice and quiet at night but near everything we wanted to do during the day. The space was clean and pleasant. Having the option to do laundry after hiking a few days was a bonus. We would stay here again.
