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!

Wonderful Stay!
Dawn’s place was absolutely lovely! Located in small town of Southwest Harbor it’s very walkable to lunch and dinner places as well as shops. Also very easy to drive to local hikes, Acadia NP, and Bar Harbor. The place itself was clean, tidy, and perfectly situated for my wife and me, along with our dog. Planning to visit 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!

Wonderful location; really well done space!
My dog and I had a great week with Wes and Dawn. Walked into town almost every day and found a close path (down the street) that opened up to the Ocean for my pup to swim. Such a comfortable place after many days of long hikes and so nice and quiet to sleep with the windows open with a great breeze.

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.

Peaceful and beautiful southwest harbor property
We love southwest Harbor and this property is in a great location within walking distance to town. The space is very cleverly laid out so that you only see a beautiful field and it feels very private. Everything is new and clean. Dawn was very responsive and attentive. Great place!

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. Very clean and comfortable. Lots of outside space for our pup. Dawn and Wes are they if you need them but give you privacy too.

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).

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.

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!

Beautiful studio, excellent location
Dawn’s place was perfect for our family of 4 + our pup. Her studio is beautiful & cozy. The location was great- close to Acadia & a short drive to Bar Harbor. Dawn supplied everything you would need, which made packing lighter. The bedding & towels were so comfortable! Plus, she had lots of information available to help plan your days. The backyard fire pit was a nice plus & her property is beautiful. I would highly recommend & would definitely stay again!
