Great place!

We really enjoyed staying in this house on the "quiet side." It was a great spot for launching each day to explore different parts of Acadia. Loved the welcome gifts, kitchen was super well stocked, and house had a comfy living room area. Beautiful location off the main roads, loved seeing the deer move through. We hope to come back!

Cool spot for a vavation

Enjoyed our stay here. Clean and had everything we needed. My family really enjoyed how quiet it was around and the outside space. Location was really close to places to eat, hike, whatever but quiet enougb to be private. Host was responsive and easy to deal with as well. Great stay!

Adorable little house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Owner was easy to communicate with. The house was as advertised. It's little rustic, and perfect for our family plus dogs. We spent the majority of our time on Mt. Desert Island out hiking, biking, & exploring. It was fantastic to have a private space to come home to! More than sufficient for our needs, reasonably priced, and would book again.

Wonderful Family Stay!

We traveled from VA with our 2 kids and pup and stayed a week in this cozy and very well- equipped home. The garden is just beautiful and the location on the quiet side is private but also still very close to so many hikes and the little village of Southwest Harbor. We hope to be back!

Perfect little quiet spot!

Stayed at the Greenhouse for 5 days, what a peacefully quiet spot! Location is great with a little coffee shop right down at the corner. The house was clean and comfortable and provided everything needed for a nice vacation to explore Acadia. Would recommend and certainly stay again!

Wonderful getaway

Its amazing to arrive at your home away from home and discover it's even better than you expected. The beautiful yard and private location on the "quiet side" of the island are perfect when you want to escape the crowds.

Perfect week

This was our first trip to Mt Desert Island and the Barn was the perfect home base for our family. We loved staying on the quiet side- it was a nice respite from the crowds, and Southwest Harbor had great options for places to eat. The house was cozy and clean, the kitchen well-stocked. We have two active young boys and they loved having a spacious yard to play in when we were not out exploring. We hope to return!

Quaint and Quiet

The Green House is perfect for a a stay in Southwest Harbor. It is close to town and has easy access to Acadia National Park. We enjoyed our patio for coffee in the morning and watching the deer stroll by. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans along with baking pans. Elena our host had a welcome basket with local coffee and homemade blueberry jam which we enjoyed very much. If you’re looking for nature and quiet this is the place for you.

Fantastic property in great location

My family and I spent a week in this house and we loved it. The open space inside was great for cooking and relaxing, and the space outside was great for our young kids to run around. Our hosts were gracious and were more then happy to give us advice for hiking, swimming, and places to take our dog. We would stay again for sure.

Peaceful Surroundings But Just a Short Walk To Town Center

This is a really nice house! It is comfortable, nicely decorated, and very clean. It's well supplied for your stay -- good kitchen equipment and plenty of towels. It feels secluded but is an easy walk to town center. And the wifi works like a charm at 100+ megabits!

We were very comfortable with our dog at this property. Saw a deer out in the yard one day and stargazing was exceptional. The Greenhouse was equipped with all you will need in a kitchen for your stay.

Acadia National Park visit

My husband and I were hiking in Acadia and were looking for a cute, quiet place to stay. This place was perfect. Elena had the sweetest gift basket waiting there to welcome us. She had a ton of great recommendations about the area that we used. The place had everything we could have needed. It was rainy while we were there so we did the two puzzles she had available which was very fun. There is also a cute patio area with chairs where I sat and read my book and enjoyed the sunshine. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Cottage - Perfect Location

Lovely, open-concept cottage with all the luxuries of home. High quality linens, brand new grill, beautiful bathroom, lots of seating, both inside & out. Peaceful surroundings with picture perfect gardens. You will find the owners to be attentive and unobtrusive. Just a few moments to "Quietside" Trails and downtown SW Harbor Center. Lovely!

A lovely base for our Acadia excursions!

The Greenhouse was a wonderful place for our family of three (plus our dog) to relax and feel at home while we visited Acadia for the first time. We really appreciated this clean and pleasant spot on the quiet side of MDI. It was great to have laundry facilities and a full kitchen on site. Our only concern was that we had a tough time finding the local swimming spots that were recommended. In any case, we hope to come back to this magical locale next year!
