Perfect Carriage House
This cottage was so beautiful! It feels like you are in the deep woods, when you are just a couple of miles from the harbor. Great spot for seeing Acadia and all the other harbors around. We enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit. Cyd and Ken were perfect hosts. We hope to return someday! Vacationing from Alabama.

Wonderful cottage- Great location- Perfect for all our vacation plans!
The cottage house is wonderful- super clean and cute, and completely equipped for all our needs. My husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary- and had a great time! We could come and go for each day's adventure in Acadia and the surrounding area. We'd love to come back in the changing seasons!

Quiet Getaway
Very clean and well kept carriage home. Hosts were very friendly and had lots of good information and suggestions of things to do on the island. House is on the south western side of Mt. Desert away from Bar Harbor so it is a great spot for someone wanting to be away from the crowds but still close by to the national park. Would highly recommend!

We loved this cozy cottage and was perfect for our anniversary! Perfect place to unwind and get away to enjoy hiking and the views of Acadia. Very well equipped and furnished, like a home away from home. Would definitely come back.

Great little cottage
Our stay was perfect. The place is nestled back in the woods a little ways, so it was nice and private. Everything looks as if it was recently updated, and there are a ton of little details that let you know the owners take pride in having people stay there. We'll definitely try and stay here again if we're ever back in the area.

This was such a great place to stay! The owners were so wonderful and showed us such amazing hospitality. They were there to answer any question we had an even had fresh flowers waiting for us when we arrived! I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Acadia area!

Cottage in the Woods
The property was very nice and cozy. The location was great, just a mile or so from Southwest Harbor restaurants, and within walking distance of a grocery store. Being on the quiet side was very nice, as the Bar Harbor side was pretty hectic during the day. Very nice place, and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Absolutely would stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here during COVID in Oct 2020 and I must say it was probably the cleanest rental I’ve been in. Hosts were great, good location, cozy and quiet spot for us to relax. Still close enough to other points of interest and hiking on MDI. Highly recommend! Would stay here again.

Awesome Carriage House
My husband and I chose the carriage house due to its proximity to Acadia. We were very pleased with the accommodations and amenities. We also met Cyd, who was so warm and welcoming. Cyd and Ken provided a list of off season restaurants, which was so helpful for the time of year we went. We would definitely stay here again if in the area!

Immaculate and cozy, this is a great home base to hit all the sights. Acadia, Bar Harbor, lighthouses, restaurants, and grocery stores are all within a very short drive. We were lucky enough to catch a deer hanging out in front of the Carriage House on our last morning.

Amazing stay in Southwest Harbor!
We just spent two weeks at Cyd and Ken’s wonderful place! They went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. Their place is beautifully decorated (including fresh flowers) and warm and cozy. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen, fireplace, comfortable furnishings and great internet access. Trails into town and to Acadia are accessible from their property - quite a treat! They are very responsive to questions/requests. A perfect vacation (thanks Cyd and Ken)!
