About this house rental

Nestled in Southwest Harbor, this attractive house for $836 per night is a great choice for your next break. DIGBY LODGE and separate listing DIGBY STUDIO(HA 714406) are nestled within Acadia National Park with a 15-minute drive to Bar Harbor--you have direct access to Park trails, and Norumbega Mountain is directly across the reservoir (no swimming allowed). The trail around the pond is a leisurely thirty minute walk. The house faces west, and the sunsets are lovely. There is an expansive deck where you can read, rest or just watch and listen to very active loons and bald eagles. Built in 1895, it is a Victorian that has a formal dining room and three working fireplaces. The kitchen has a six burner dual-fuel convection range. The dishwasher is in the pantry. There are two full baths upstairs; one with a wood rail antique copper tub, and the other with a modern steam shower. The basement contains two washers dryer sets presently set to wash colors and whites separately. Amenities include two Samsung flat screen TVs . The living room also has Apple TV. There is good WiFi and a wireless printer. Cell phone service is generally excellent. There are canoes available. All occupants are required to have a personal flotation device ("pfd" i.e. a life jacket). Paddles and lifejackets can be found in the boathouse in the closet and drawers. There is an owner's cottage where we stay, and "Digby Studio" (Home Away listing HA 714406) that sleeps 2 in the back. We are surrounded by Acadia National Park and do not have any neighbors. This is seclusion at its best. Finally, know that we wipe everything down with Clorox, and we have installed hand sanitizer dispensers.. Also, should you desire a 24 hour time between cleaning and check-in, we will gladly accommodate you.

We stayed at Digby Lodge from Monday September 4 through 11, 2023. We had a fabulous time! The location was amazing. We were able to jump on the carriage trail right from the house. We were able to hike the trails around the Lower Hadlock Pond right from the house also. We were only 20 minutes from Bar Harbor, only 5 minutes from Northeast Harbor and 30 minutes from Southwest Harbor. The hosts Gabby and Frank are amazing, really endearing! They live right next door, but gave us privacy. They quickly resolved any issues we encountered. They provided wonderful books and ideas for exploring the area. We would stay with them in a minute. The house is very historic and gorgeous, very peaceful and serene. The bathrooms and kitchen were renovated, beautiful granite and upgrades.

This is a beautiful home in a very special place. The pond provides a peaceful, lovely view and a magical morning walk! We loved every minute we spent in Digby Lodge on Lower Hadlock Pond.

We had a wonderful stay - enjoying the beautiful home, wonderful views, peaceful setting and lovely hiking trails right out the front door. What made our stay extra special was the little attention to details - including very comfy beds, laundry baskets in each of the closets and thoughtful stocking of the medicine cabinet (ie.g. bandaids which were handy for a little scratch). Thank you Gabby and Frank for sharing such a special home and making us feel so welcome. (Fun note - our sons discovered many Pokémon GO stops near the house.)

My wife and I and our dog loved the house (spacious, cozy, clean, great porch). Great location embedded in Acadia with direct access to the teals and carriage roads. Very private being the only property on lower Hadlock pond

First, the house is lovely. Old Vic, replete with antiques and family ancestor portraits, the place has great charm. Not to mention its best feature: a big, deep porch looking right out over Lower Hadlock Pond. And the Park's trails start at your property line, as well as there being an entrance to the Park's carriage paths across the road. Talk about an ideal location! Finally, Frank and Gabby are delightful and interesting people, and I look forward to getting to know them better on future visits. If I had to find a grump, its the double bed in the master. Coming from a king, a double does make it harder to toss and turn as my wife and I tend to do. But so much more about Digby Lodge makes that one thing insignificant. We would love to come back.

The house was just lovely! The online photos do not do it justice. I would be very happy to revisit. Other reviewers have listed the many benefits - they are correct. We did have a few glitches, but Gabby was more than responsive. Unfortunately, the service providers were not. The biggest issue was with the internet. We were able to get by using mobile data and by creating hotspots via our Verizon network. It did cost a bit, but was well worth it given all else that the house had to offer.
