About this property

Family Home Overlooking the Harbor Easily Walkable to Town

The Stanley home is a comfortable 2 bedroom family home nestled at the top of the hill at the end of a dead end road. The property includes a large back deck with patio set and grill for barbeque on summer nights. With an attached fenced in play yard for your pet and a large unfenced area out back for children to play, this is the perfect property for a family getaway.

You can choose to enjoy the quiet, nature filled back yard by the orchard or simply walk out the front door for ocean views. Just down the hill is a popular spot for photographers to capture the sunrise over the harbor. This home is a short 1/2 mile walk to restaurants and shopping in Southwest Harbor and provides easy access to hiking trails and Acadia National Park. In the summer and fall this rental is walking distance to weekly farmers markets and art vendors.

A few notes about the set up of the house:
1. Both bedrooms are on the second floor. The bathroom is on the first floor.
2. There is a bar style table in the kitchen that seats four people elbow to elbow. There is a more traditional dining set up on the back deck.

Perfect Place for families with dogs

Excellent base from which to explore the entire island. We are always finding new hikes/adventures every time we visit. The dogs feel comfortable here as well. Great fenced in back yard is a big plus for them!

Super house and location

4 senior adults and two standard poodles. We all really enjoyed our stay (four nights). Place is super clean and well equipped. We would have enjoyed an indoor table and chairs as the evenings were cooler in October. We ate in the evenings at the bar in the kitchen. Great map of the park on the wall that we enjoyed discussing our plans for the next day!

Southwest Harbor on the Bay

Nice two bedroom house. Full size Washer/ Dryer. Host provided laundry soap, dish soap, shampoo, body wash. The towels were nice also. Full kitchen with all needed utensils, basic spices, and a nice dishwasher. House was on the end of the street with no outlet so literally zero traffic. Short walk to the harbor and town. Really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing house near Acadia!

Perfect place to stay to see all the sights of Acadia and not far from Bar Harbor but none of the crowds! The house is extremely clean and a wonderful place to explore the island from. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful Place!

Beautiful home that was just right for my two adult children and me. Great location and was set up beautifully for our dog that traveled with us. We enjoyed Southwest Harbor and easily made the trip into Acadia National Park each day we were there.

Perfect Spot

This property was exactly how it was described and allowed us and our pup to be very comfortable. The fenced in area was perfect with a dog. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook (we ate out for each meal). We loved seeing a buck and his deer friends eating apples in the orchid each day. The location is on a quiet street with the harbor in sight at the bottom of the hill. Southwest harbor provides some gems for restaurants and little shops. We loved exploring the quiet side of the island, away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Check in couldn’t have been easier and the host communication was helpful and timely. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful house in a lovely area

This house was exactly what we were looking for. A perfect little house for us to stay with a great enclosed area for the dogs. Neighborhood was quiet yet still close to all of the places we wanted to visit. I would totally recommend this property to those with or without dogs. My girlfriend is allergic to dogs and can usually still have some symptoms when we stay at pet friendly places, but the house was so clean that there were no traces of dogs who have visited.

Great house for the family

We've stayed here a few times with our kids and dogs, and they all look forward to coming back again. Great location on the quiet side of the island, nice view of the harbor down the road, and a fenced in backyard for the dogs and kids to play in. An outstanding place to relax!

Quiet, scenic, and close to Southwest Harbor

Our family of 5 (the small kids) stayed 6 nights here. It was great. We like quiet locations like southwest harbor opposed to busy tourist places (like bar harbor). We planned out each day with an event and then came back to this place to rest. It was comfortable to cook, read, we ate on the back deck a lot. The host recommended the best places to get lobster by the pound and we saw fireworks from just down Robinson lane. By far, the best place we could have stayed at. Highly recommend, worth the price.

Total comfort

We loved our stay! Close to hiking trails and swimming at Echo Lake, but away from the noise and crowds of Bar Harbor. Within minutes of everything you could need such as shops and restaurants, and stocked with plenty of towels, linens and supplies. We are rather choosy and found it to be perfect for what turned out to be an ideal vacation.

Great stay with our dog!

We enjoyed our time at this house in Southwest Harbor. The location is perfect for some of the great, less popular hikes in Acadia. It was the perfect place to accommodate our dog as well. Having an enclosed fence was very convenient. The bathrooms and bedrooms are on different floors, but not a dealbreaker. Ashley was super friendly and helpful. We hope to come back again!

perfect stay

Ashley's home was absolutely perfect for us! It was sparkling clean, well equipped and pet friendly. The dog run outside was so convenient for early morning and bedtime potty trips. Everything we reached for was right there, and the view of the harbor was spectacular. The apple orchard filled with handsome bucks was an endlessly entertaining bonus!

Getaway to Maine

We came to Maine with our two dogs to hike in Acadia National Park. Ashley’s place ( the Stanley House) was perfect for us and our dogs. It was in a calm and peaceful location in Southwest Harbor ( on the quiet side of MDI). The dogs loved the outdoor run. We loved the view of the orchard from the back deck. Inside, everything was super clean and well stocked. This felt like home away from home. We also appreciated Ashley’s great communication and updates post Hurricane Lee ( we arrived just after the storm passed). Her suggestions for places to find great food were spot-on! We hope to return to Maine again, and we would love to return to the Stanley House.

Perfect week at Acadia

We had such a lovely time in Acadia, and this property was the perfect launching point for our time on MDI. From the deck out back to the light-filled kitchen, we used all of the space on this great property. We had wonderful communication with the owner and everything went smoothly. What a great place!

Southwest Harbor Vacation

Stayed late July with my wife, two older teen children, and German shepherd dog. Beautiful and quiet location, yet close enough to all the attractions of Acadia. House was clean especially considering it is dog friendly. Enjoyed dining Al-fresco on the front porch and back deck. Saw many deer-including a Buck, out munching on apples in the orchard. Great stargazing at night too. Would definitely recommend!
