The studio is designed to be comfortable, functional, and relaxing—perfect for a weekend getaway or an extended visit to Acadia.

Outdoor Living

Enjoy your own outdoor seating area and private fire pit. We also provide an electric Blackstone flat-top grill, perfect for cooking breakfast or preparing a simple dinner after a day of exploring.

Important Information

Because we want every guest to have the right expectations, please note:

The studio is attached to our family home, and we have two young boys. You’ll occasionally hear children playing outside and see normal family activity in the yard, particularly during the daytime. Evenings are generally quiet.

The bathroom uses a macerating plumbing system, so you’ll hear the pump briefly when flushing the toilet or using the shower. The kitchenette includes a sink; the bathroom currently does not have a sink, though one is planned for a future renovation.

We’re continuing to improve portions of the landscaping around the property. Your private fire pit and seating area are complete and fully available, while some surrounding areas remain natural as we continue making improvements.

Location

Quietside Studio is conveniently located:

* About 5 minutes from Southwest Harbor
* Approximately 10–15 minutes from several Acadia National Park entrances
* Close to hiking trails, carriage roads, restaurants, boat tours, and scenic coastal drives

Whether you’re visiting to hike Acadia, explore charming coastal villages, enjoy local restaurants, or simply relax by the fire after a day outdoors, Quietside Studio offers a peaceful, comfortable place to call home during your stay.
