Our stay was great! We had an awesome time exploring MDI and hanging out in Southwest Harbor. Staying in SWH was nice because it felt a bit more remote than some parts of the island closer to Bar Harbor but still close enough to all the hikes that we wanted to do. The house itself is great! Plenty of space for the 7 of us and easily could have fit 2-3 more. The house has space to work and is well equipped to be able to host a nice meal. One of the highlights of SWH was Harbor Table (a restaurant in town), we highly suggest going for dinner.

We had high hope for our stay and this house was everything we hoped for. The house was just as beautiful as the photos if not more so. I guess I'd summarize by saying this was like staying in somone's home where the owners go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Whenever we had questions either Rachel or Jonathan responded promptly. The next time we come back to Southwest Harbor this will definitely be our first choice of where to stay.

We loved our stay! The house was clean, had all the amenities one could need, and the views of the water were spectacular. The remnants of Hurricane Lee impacted our arrival but we were able to work closely with Jonathan and Rachel to ensure the property was safe, accessible, and ready for use. The communication truly was above and beyond! We enjoyed stargazing from the upper deck, and being able to access Acadia/Bar Harbor less than 30 mins from this gorgeous home. I highly recommend staying here!

We had a great stay in this wonderful home on the quiet side of MDI. Views were amazing from throughout. Kitchen was well-appointed and the game room downstairs was really fun. We spent most of our days out and about, but even if rain had forced us to stay in, we would've had a great time.

Amazing views, lots of stargazing spots. Close to Acadia and Bar Harbor, with easy walk into cute downtown of Southwest Harbor. Our large group had plenty of room to spread out! Highly recommend!

We had an incredible time at the View House. From the moment we turned into the driveway—such a beautiful approach to the house—we knew we were going to love it. Everything was so comfortable and well considered. We cooked and ate at home a lot, supplemented by plenty of Beal’s lobster and one amazing meal at Peter Trout’s. The kitchen was very well equipped. The week we were there (and pretty much the entire summer leading up to it) was quite overcast and foggy. The views were still gorgeous, and when the sun came out, we were all the more thrilled! We hiked A LOT and the weather was perfect for it. Also swam several times in Echo Lake, from the Bluffs (flat—and slippery!—rocks you can dive off, and less crowded than the beach). Oh, and of course the teens loved the foosball and the boxing bag, and we ALL loved the table shuffleboard. Started every day with a tournament! Loved this house on the Quiet Side and can’t wait to return!
