Absolutely perfect location in Southwest Harbor. Everything was great from check-in to check-out. Zane is super responsive, answering all questions/needs. The house is exactly as described and pictured, definitely recommend for any groups or families staying in the area!
Our family had a wonderful time visiting Maine, specifically Acadia NP and Bar Harbor areas. This house is easy-to-get-to, but away from the crowds of the park and Bar Harbor, but we were able to access both with ease. Zane, our host recommended several beautiful hikes near the house that we very much enjoyed. The house was clean with plenty of beds, showers, seats (couches and table) to meet our needs. We will return!
Delightful accommodations at a delightful location.
This property has all the amenities for a wonderful vacation. Spacious and spotless, it offers all the conveniences you would want. It is located in close proximity to Acadia National Park and a number of other major attractions., including wonderful lobster. Zane Beesley is a gracious host.
Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay in Southwest Harbor! This location was close to everything! The house met all of our needs for a group of 14 - great location, clean, lots of room and a perfect outdoor area for all of us. Zane was a wonderfil host - he communicated timely and answered all of our questions. We loved our stay and all the memories we made in Maine!!
We rented the house with another family- 4 adults and 5 teenagers. There was enough space for all. House was close to everything - great restaurants and attractions. Owner was very helpful in planning our days and meals. Would
stay here again.
The house is a perfect home base for exploring the beautiful National Park park and coastline. The kitchen was fully equipped which made it easy to cook all our meals. The owner left books and games etc. to make the place feel like home.
Our family enjoyed a long weekend at Zane’s home. The house was exactly as described and pictured in the listing, clean, and well provisioned. The home is very well situated for island exploration but also super comfortable for playing games while roasting by the fire. Zane was a thoughtful host and we would definitely choose to stay again on future visits.
Property was perfect for multi generation group. There was plenty of space for privacy, but communal areas fit everyone. It was right on main road leading into Southwest Harbor about 20 min from Bar Harbor and 25 into Acadia depending where you are headed. It was really nice to be away from Bar Harbor crowds and being close to Echo Lake (5 min) was perfect for our toddlers and the grandparents. Highly recommend and Zane was attentive throughout stay.
Zane helped us immensely for local information and he was available always. Great house for multiple young families with main house and apt above garage. It was helpful to have window ac units in all bedrooms since it was a little warm during our week. Walking distance to downtown with ice cream shops and coffee houses. Because the house is on the road-there is a lot of car noise at night but always felt safe.
The house was a good fit for our group of 5 children and 8 adults. You can walk easily into the village of Southwest Harbor on sidewalks. The drive to Bar Harbor and the main park entrance is about 30 minutes.
Zane had a cute, comfortable house for myself, my husband, and a few friends to get away for the weekend. There was plenty of space to hang out, grill, and even have a small fire in the fire pit.
It also was fairly central to a lot of great hiking, so we thoroughly enjoyed Acadia National Park and the surrounding area.
Zane was incredibly communicative and hospitable. I'd recommend!
Had a great stay at Zane's house. There only ended up being two of us so it was much more house than we needed! But beautiful! We enjoyed the BBQ and outdoor firepit as well. Great location close to restaurants and Acadia but further away for less tourists.
Great location in Southwest Harbor. House is very comfortable with large seating areas and plenty of space to hang out. Located 30 mins from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Close to great food within minutes in either direction. Zane was very thoughtful, notified us when he needed to access the yard and checked-in to make sure everything was OK. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Zane.
We found the property clean and very comfortable. There was plenty of room for our family of five, including three young boys. The property owner Zane, was great to work with and offered much insight on what we were looking to do during our stay on Mt. Desert Island. The property is located on the "quite" side of the island but within easy travel to all points of interest. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.
This is a great place - Zane was very easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. The area is so much less congested than the other side of Bar Harbor - great restaurants and good hikes. My only constructive feedback is that the house could have been a little cleaner and there were a lot of red ants in the yard so you couldn’t stay out at a fire for too long. Both of those could easily be remedied. Thanks Zane
This house was very convenient to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. It had plenty of room for our party of 4 adults and 3 kids. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and there was plenty of seating. Our grandkids loved the games! The arrangement of the bedrooms with a separate entrance from outside on the back deck for the two bedrooms over the garage was unusual. Good to know for those families with many young children. I would highly recommend you bring earplugs as the traffic on Main Street was loud at night. With the A/C window units (which we were thankful for), the windows couldn't be completely closed to help lessen the road noise. The first floor doesn't have A/C but there are fans which helped with our July visit. Zane was super responsive when things needed attention. He gave us restaurant recommendations which were great!
The house was spacious yet felt connected. All of the beds were super comfy and clean, we loved lots of great spaces inside and out for big our big family to relax and enjoy being together. Kids loved yard for playing catch and ring toss, adults watched from deck. Close enough to walk into town and proximity to trailheads was great. Only downside was noise and speed of traffic on road - house is on one of the main roads into SW harbor amd quite close to street. If you have young children the property is not fenced, so just be aware you’ll need to keep a close eye on toddlers when they are outdoors. Zane super responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

First, the area is very beautiful. We thought the house was a little further off the road, but it was a little too close. Road traffic was heard in the house. The house was clean, but it does show somewhere in tear. The kitchen was well stocked with needed items. The week we stayed. The weather was warmer than normal. The owner installed window air conditioners to help with the heat. He was very responsive to any requests that we had. The outdoor decks are very nice. The yard and landscaping along with the fire pit could use, a little more attention as far as the vacation goes. We had a wonderful time and a really good experience.
The house works very well for a group. Kitchen has what you need , the living room has comfortable seating for 8 , and the dining area can easily double as a room for games. There are steps involved for both the sleeping areas (main house and apartment ) in case that is of concern. Zane was very responsive to all our questions . A great week.
