About this condo rental

Nestled in Southwest Harbor, this lovely condo for $176 per night is a great choice for your next break. Bird's Nest is an elevated efficiency apartment with sweeping views of Somes Sound, the ocean, the mountains of Acadia National Park, and the lighthouse on Bear Island. At the end of a long winding private driveway Bird's Nest provides a quiet get away for a couple. There is a small efficiency kitchen and a sunny second floor deck to enjoy the view while having a peaceful breakfast or evening meal. Bird's Nest provides a great base from which to explore the trails, mountains, lakes, ponds of the less visited parts of Acadia National Park. Many of the park trail heads and the fresh water beach with great swimming at Echo Lake are less than 2 miles away. We have our own private wooded trail that is a short hike to downtown Southwest Harbor where you can board the free Island Explorer bus and reach the busier side of Mount Desert Island including Bar Harbor and the more visited parts of Acadia such as Thunder Hole and Sand Beach. You can even take a longer ride to the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia. Our trail provides easy access to the small shops and amenities offered in Southwest Harbor. These include dining experiences from cafes and ice cream shops to fine dining.

The Bird's Nest was tops! Beautiful setting and everything you need. Susan was very communicative and even made a few minor repairs even though we did not ask that they be done during our stay. We hope to return.

The property was well appointed with everything you need if you choose to cook in the kitchen. The space is utilized really well for its small size. My favorite part was sitting on the deck and looking at the beautiful view of the ocean. It is notable that the big house in front of this property is a rental, as well and may have a housefull of people, as was the case when I stayed there.

Although the unit is small, it is well laid-out and is suitable for individuals who occupy limited space. It’s close to hiking trails on the quiet side, and just a short walk into downtown Southwest Harbor via the private trail from the property. The deck with a nice view allowed us to be outdoors during our relaxing times. So, we didn’t actually spend much time inside. The owners were great to deal with – very responsive. We will definitely consider for any future trips to the area.

Thank you Susan and Andrew for sharing your property with us! We very much enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and beautiful views during our stay, and were happy we chose to stay on the “Quieter” side of the island. Even though the property is small, it is so cleverly arranged to make the most of every inch. Our favorite adventures were hiking nearby Beech Summit and Parkman mountain (we enjoyed less people but just as fantastic views), and walking along Ocean Path to the gorgeous overlooks. The best meal we had was the lobster ravioli at Eat-a-Pita in Southwest Harbor — so so good!!!! We also enjoyed breakfasts and coffee from nearby Milagro cafe. It was the perfect mountain getaway and one we will remember forever. Thank you again!
