Southwest Harbor, Norwood Cove & Acadia National Park at your doorstep
About this farm stay rental
Located in Southwest Harbor, this lovely farm stay for $1,730 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. The Sea Captain’s House is an excellent choice for multi family or large groups. Conveniently located in Southwest Harbor and just minutes to Acadia National Park. Easy, quick annd walkable into the village of Southwest Harbor. The fully stocked kitchen with dinnerware for 14 has all stainless steel appliances; large refrigerator, 5-stove top gas burners, convection and regular ovens, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, crock pot and stainless food prep table. Seating for 5 at the kitchen bar allows you to enjoy your company, while leaving enough space to move around the kitchen to prepare meals and cook. Bluetooth stereo system and cocktail station included. Just off the kitchen is a half bath and enclosed washer and dryer for guests to use. The main house living room has heartwarming hardwood flooring with couch seating for 12. Double patios doors overlooking the back yard lead outside to the deck and BBQ area. Shelves are stocked with games, cards, puzzles, and a 65" smart Roku TV for movie nights or rainy days. All three bedrooms in the main house are located upstairs and each one has extra blankets and pillows. The master bedroom is complete with a king size bed, ceiling fan, 65” Roku TV, and a balcony overlooking the mountains, Norwood cove, and most mornings a magnificent sunrise over the Atlantic ocean. The master bath has a corner shower, a deep claw foot bathtub and a granite vanity with plenty of storage under the single sink. Outside on the back deck is a picnic table and patio seating for 14, the back deck is the perfect place to soak up the sun, entertaining friends at sunset or stay out late to watch the stars. The quaint and covered front porch is a great place for morning coffee while observing small town life on Mount Desert Island. Accessible from the back deck and above the garage is the two bedroom, full bath and kitchen suite. Amazing sunrise views over Norwood cove from the living room and kitchen make it easy to relax. The separate suite adds a lot of privacy for multi-family groups but remains easy to facilitate everyone hanging out together for dinner or a movie night in the main house. For safety and security, I have Ring video doorbells located, outside, each, entrance to my house. Happy to share access with you during your visit. I invite my family and friends to vacation at my home and I hope all who stay, enjoy Vacationland as much as I do. I’m sending an open invitation to your family. See you in the Summah!

Absolutely perfect location in Southwest Harbor. Everything was great from check-in to check-out. Zane is super responsive, answering all questions/needs. The house is exactly as described and pictured, definitely recommend for any groups or families staying in the area!

Property was perfect for multi generation group. There was plenty of space for privacy, but communal areas fit everyone. It was right on main road leading into Southwest Harbor about 20 min from Bar Harbor and 25 into Acadia depending where you are headed. It was really nice to be away from Bar Harbor crowds and being close to Echo Lake (5 min) was perfect for our toddlers and the grandparents. Highly recommend and Zane was attentive throughout stay.

Very clean, spacious, wonderful location. We were a group of 11. Would recommend.
3.0
First, the area is very beautiful. We thought the house was a little further off the road, but it was a little too close. Road traffic was heard in the house. The house was clean, but it does show somewhere in tear. The kitchen was well stocked with needed items. The week we stayed. The weather was warmer than normal. The owner installed window air conditioners to help with the heat. He was very responsive to any requests that we had. The outdoor decks are very nice. The yard and landscaping along with the fire pit could use, a little more attention as far as the vacation goes. We had a wonderful time and a really good experience.
5.0
We had a wonderful stay in Southwest Harbor! This location was close to everything! The house met all of our needs for a group of 14 - great location, clean, lots of room and a perfect outdoor area for all of us. Zane was a wonderfil host - he communicated timely and answered all of our questions. We loved our stay and all the memories we made in Maine!!
4.0
The house was a good fit for our group of 5 children and 8 adults. You can walk easily into the village of Southwest Harbor on sidewalks. The drive to Bar Harbor and the main park entrance is about 30 minutes.
5.0
The house works very well for a group. Kitchen has what you need , the living room has comfortable seating for 8 , and the dining area can easily double as a room for games. There are steps involved for both the sleeping areas (main house and apartment ) in case that is of concern. Zane was very responsive to all our questions . A great week.
5.0
We had a terrific visit! The place was plenty comfortable for our group of 11 adults and 2 elementary school kids. The two adults who could only stay for 3 nights slept on the sofa bed, and the kids slept on the Murphy bed in the apartment for the week. All other adults had their own bedrooms. Those of us who stayed in the apartment loved the privacy of the apartment unit—and having our own kitchen. And both kitchens were well equipped, so the avid chefs in the group we were able to cook dinners easily. Finally: Zane did a great job responding to our questions and welcoming us to the property. Thanks for a terrific week!

Spacious and accommodating house that was great for our large party of 9 (4 adults, 5 kids). House was well stocked with all of the kitchen supplies you could hope for. Backyard was great for grilling and campfires (host left ample firewood for our stay). Check in/check out was incredibly easy. Great stay on the quiet side of MDI. Would stay again and recommend to anyone looking to visit Maine.

Our party of 9 was so happy with this house! Perfectly located on Main street in southwest harbor, made it easy to access not only Bar Harbor and Acadia NP, but also downtown SW harbor plus the other small towns on the island. Zane was super easy to communicate with and checking in/out was a breeze! Would definitely stay here again if we choose to return to MDI for a future vacation!

Great house on Quiet Side of Acadia - for large family
Great house, host was very communicative. Only 5 bedrooms so extra guests had to sleep on Murphy bed and pull out sofa. Which normally would have been ok but we had a hot week and those rooms were hot at night! Otherwise great house and location.

4.0
Convenient and Spacious!
The house was spacious yet felt connected. All of the beds were super comfy and clean, we loved lots of great spaces inside and out for big our big family to relax and enjoy being together. Kids loved yard for playing catch and ring toss, adults watched from deck. Close enough to walk into town and proximity to trailheads was great. Only downside was noise and speed of traffic on road - house is on one of the main roads into SW harbor amd quite close to street. If you have young children the property is not fenced, so just be aware you’ll need to keep a close eye on toddlers when they are outdoors. Zane super responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay in SW Harbor
Zane's home was a lovely stay for our family during a few nights in Southwest Harbor. It's spacious, clean and comfortable. Zane was also a very helpful and communicative host, and was quick to help us on small minor issues we experienced. I would absolutely stay here again.
5.0
What a wonderful time!
We had 14 family members ranging from 5 to 71 all staying together. It was such a wonderful house for all. Zane was an exceptional host. He checked on us from time to time to make sure everything was good but was never intrusive. He was very helpful and kind. There were games, books and travel info in the house for all ages. Acadia Park was close and you could walk to SW Harbor ! The house itself slept everyone comfortably. The kitchen was well-stocked. I can’t say enough about it! We will certainly return soon!

Great house for groups!
We had a great stay at Zane's house. It offered our group of 6 tons of space, multiple bathrooms, and a large living room and kitchen for hanging out and cooking. The location was good, with an easy, short walk into Southwest Harbor, great hiking nearby, and driving everywhere else we wanted to go was easy. Zane was an excellent host. He offered up tips throughout the week on really good hikes, and he came through with a last minute ride too and from Bar Harbor when all of the local taxi services were booked or not running. We were super grateful.
My only complaints would be that the street it was on was a bit busy, so the traffic noise was sometimes noticeable if that is something that bothers you. And the master bedroom could use a curtain or blinds on the door out to the balcony. If you need complete darkness to sleep, bring an eye mask. But, overall we had a really fun stay and would recommend Zane's wonderful home.

We had a great vacation in Acadia and enjoyed both Acadia and Bar Harbor. The small town of SW Harbor was great with a couple of good restaurants. The house was well stocked. The house is located on Main street so there are constantly cars traveling out front. Thanks for a good time...

Great Location
This is a great place - Zane was very easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. The area is so much less congested than the other side of Bar Harbor - great restaurants and good hikes. My only constructive feedback is that the house could have been a little cleaner and there were a lot of red ants in the yard so you couldn’t stay out at a fire for too long. Both of those could easily be remedied. Thanks Zane

Downeast Fun
Great location in Southwest Harbor. House is very comfortable with large seating areas and plenty of space to hang out. Located 30 mins from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Close to great food within minutes in either direction. Zane was very thoughtful, notified us when he needed to access the yard and checked-in to make sure everything was OK. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Zane.

Memorable Family Trip
My husband and I brought our 14 year old niece and 16 year old nephew to Acadia for 5 nights. There were two other family members who were a "definite maybe" but had to bail on the trip so we didn't have need for the garage apartment. My husband and I don't have kids and we are accustomed to quiet, privacy, and LOTS of elbow room. Zane's house was perfect for us! We made several meals together in the well stocked kitchen, played a fun game at the dining room table, went on an awesome kayak tour with Maine State Kayak (which is only a 2 minute walk from the house), and we hiked in the park every day. The house was close enough to everything but also away from the hustle and bustle which was ideal for us. Zane is an outstanding host and we couldn't have asked for better communication. Thanks so much Zane!

Fantastic house for large family/groups!
There was a total of 10 of us for this stay (4 adults and 6 kids). The set up was great for our group. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs with 2 pull out couches downstairs in the living room. In addition, there is a separate apartment over the garage with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and additional murphy bed in the living room. Needless to say, that we had plenty of room! The kitchen in the main house was spacious and well stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc.
The location of the house was also excellent! You are only about 15 minutes from the main entrance to Acadia, many restaurants and a grocery store are within a mile or two.
This place is not cheap, but well worth it for the size and location. We would definitely stay again!!

We had a terrific stay at this beautiful home. It is in a great location for walking into town as well as getting around easily to Acadia, Bar Harbor and all around MDI. The house was exactly as pictured and described and was the perfect place for a family vacation. Zane is a fantastic and responsive host who not only answered any questions we had but also shared some great advice for a local hidden gem to visit.

A group of 8 of us (all adults + 1 dog) stayed at Zane’s property in Southwest Harbor and we absolutely loved it! Would have stayed longer if we could. Great location, very clean, and Zane was very communicative the whole time we were there. Highly recommend for big groups traveling to Acadia area or Bar Harbor (both are about a 30 minute drive from the house)
