Beautiful, private, dog-friendly space!
If you’re looking for a pet-friendly stay near Acadia National Park, look no further! We enjoyed being away from the bustle of Bar Harbor with room for our fur baby to be outside while relaxing after sunset. We found the adorably decorated apartment clean and comfortable. Laundromat, restaurants, and grocery stores all nearby. Wonderful!

Just do it
We loved staying here and will definitely do so again the next time we are on MDI. The studio apartment was bright, cheery, and very clean. The queen bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the shower was great. For those with dogs, this is the place to stay. Just open the door and let your dog out for walks the lengthy mowed paths. Just do it.

Loved out stay!
Perfect little retreat when exploring Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor. Spent most of our time in Bar Harbor which was a 20-25 min drive depending on where we were going for the day. The studio was located on the first floor of the barn, and it was absolutely adorable. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our family. For anyone that has a larger family, this would be a great option (along with the other section of the barn) if some family members needed their own space. My only comment, which is completely a personal preference, is that the bed was very soft. We personally like a firmer mattress, but this would not stop us from renting again.

Amazing property!!
We loved this property so much! The inside was perfect for the two of us and our dog. It was very comfortable and spacious with a full kitchen. The yard was amazing to walk the dog and just so peaceful to sit out and look at. The location was very convenient to walk 5 minutes on sidewalks to Main Street with delicious coffee and breakfast and dinner spots. It was also only 10-20 minutes to Acadia hiking trails and Bar Harbor. The host was very friendly! We would highly recommend this rental and would love to come back and stay again!

Great location and hosts!
We had a great experience at the barn studio! The location was great. It was a super easy walk to down town Soutwest Harbor. The property is very dog friendly and set back from the road, so we didn't have any concerns with our pup off leash. The only issue we had was the mattress was not comfortable because it was quite sunken in. Dawn and her family were an approachable friendly face and available for any questions, but not at all intrusive. The binder in the studio was also a great resource for advice and ideas of what to do in the area and on MDI. Thank you!

Great Quietside Stay
We really enjoyed our week long stay in this well furnished new apartment. It has a terrific location as we were only a few minutes stroll from the center of town with shops and restaurants. The quiet neighborhood and minimal traffic are such a contrast from the craziness of Bar Harbor. We were only about a half mile from Beals Lobster Pound as well. The apartment is exceptionally clean with a full kitchen, nice bathroom, and very comfortable bed. There were even 2 flat screen TVs, though we did not use them at all. The Wifi was fine for us (we just browse the web and don't stream anything). The hosts were very welcoming and the property is huge. Our dog enjoyed walking through the paths that were mowed all around the several acres of yard.

Adorable space
We loved having a clean relaxing space to come back to every night after a long day of hiking. We were also amazed at the noise control as we heard absolutely nothing from the upstairs apartment. The hosts were so kind and responsive. We would definitely stay again if we ever get the chance to return.

Beautiful property in a quiet location
This property was wonderful in so many ways! The owners have made easy walking mowed paths on their property which is a dog owners delight for early morning or before bedtime pup walks and exploration. The outside sitting area is beautiful and inviting. The size of the Barn Studio was perfect for 2 adults and a dog. We entertained our local friends one night. We had everything we needed for cooking and dining in. We were excited to find quality knives, silverware and plates. The owners were very responsive to all correspondence and wanted our stay to be perfect. It's a lovely place to stay with your four legged family member!

Second stay at this lovely apartment located within walking distance to restaurants and shops on Main St. Southwest Harbor. Also close to shuttle service to the park and Bar Harbor.

Great location!
The property was ideal for myself and my husband and was very well equipped. We really enjoyed the private seating area overlooking the main gardens. We were glad that we were staying on the “quiet side” as we were visiting during peak summer season but it was an easy and quick drive to the main national park, Bar Harbor and the rest of the island. The unit is also an easy short walk to the shops, cafes & restaurants in Southwest Harbor and a 5min drive to the local supermarket & coin-op laundromat. The host provided a lot of useful information & was available by text if we needed anything. We had a great week.

Amazing Location & Perfect Spot
We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for our MDI vacation. Right in the heart of downtown SW harbor we were able to walk to all the town has to offer. Dawn’s property is absolutely breathtaking and she is such a lovely host. The cabin although smaller has the perfect layout to fit 4 and a dog comfortably! Clearly so much thought went into the design.

Charming space to stay while exploring Acadia
Dawn is an excellent hostess and the studio apartment is lovely! The apartment is located in Southwest Harbor, and is within walking distance of the main street which has great shops and restaurants. This part of Mount Desert Island is less crowded and overwhelming, yet still conveniently close to all parts of Acadia national park. One of our favorite hikes during our visit, Acadia Mountain Trail, is less than 10 minutes from the apartment. The apartment was very clean and well stocked with everything you need. The grounds around the apartment are lovely too!

We were overall very happy with the property. The location was awesome. We had everything we needed. Our only complaint would be the mattress was extremely uncomfortable. There wasn't much to it and every time you moved your partner would feel it and wake up. The same with the couch. It was very hard and uncomfortable.

Lovely Place with Great Access to Acadia
The apartment was clean, nicely designed, private and easy to enjoy. Dawn was readily available if anything came up, but she also gave us the privacy we needed to unwind from our hectic jobs and get in some awesome outdoor experiences. The apartment was right near the heart of Southwest Harbor, which brings you close enough to Acadia without all the hussle and tourists of Bar Harbor. Definitely would recommend it for a couple as a romantic getaway, or for a small family (the couch has a pullout bed).
