We stayed with our two boys, 12 and 9, and had a great time hiking, biking and kayaking. It was nice to have kayaks at the house with mounting bars to put on our car. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed, including a large washer and dryer, life jackets, maps and guides, a library of books, games and fun decorating touches. We enjoyed eating outside, sitting by the fire and having corn hole tournaments. Carra and Sean were great hosts and very helpful. We definitely recommend staying at this home!

We loved our stay at the Southwest Harbor Hideaway! We were a family of 8 and there was plenty of room for everyone! We loved the Maine puzzle, corn hole, the huge fire pit! The cottage is very well decorated and made us lifetime Mainiacs feel at home!

This house was a fantastic place for our family to stay. It has endless details that make it fun, convenient and comfortable….all the things that you want when staying in the woods with young children. The hosts were absolutely wonderful…extremely communicative and helpful. Leading up to our trip they sent incredible amounts of information about activities, restaurants, hiking trails, etc that were great for guiding us along. They even let us know when the registration date for Cadillac Mountain would be. The house is thoroughly cleaned, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the layout and decor is so fun! The backyard (surrounded by a forest of pine trees) has a huge dining table, fire pit, and a bags game set up. It was perfect for relaxing after a day exploring in Acadia. We didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks or bicycles, unfortunately, but everything you need is provided (life vests, helmets, etc). It truly feels like your own home. Sean and Carra seem to have thought of everything. I could go on and on about this place. It really complemented our time spent in Bar Harbor and Acadia perfectly.
