About this property
Maine Forest Home · Downtown SW Harbor 3 Minute Drive · Near Acadia Trails
- Surrounded by 8 acres of private pine forest, bordering Acadia National Park, with Ship Harbor Trail and Wonderland Trail just 6 minutes from the front door — this is the quiet side of Mount Desert Island at its finest.
A brand-new outdoor living area makes coming home just as good as the adventure. New in Spring 2026: The Outdoor Living Area A large wood deck, paver patio, cedar pergola with outdoor dining for 8, gas grill, and solar lighting that makes the whole space magical after dark. The western exposure delivers Maine's famous cotton candy sunsets from your backyard. After a day on Acadia's trails grill dinner and dine under the pergola.
The home is two stories, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, sleeps 8 — plus a full pull-out sleeper in the family room for the option of addition two additional guests to sleep 10 total.
Downstairs: queen bedroom with accessible bathroom (tiled shower, double vanity). Upstairs: two bedrooms (queen, and a twin/double/twin trundle combo) and a tub bathroom — perfect for bathing little ones. Room-darkening curtains and window AC in every room.
The kitchen is fully equipped — gas range, oversized fridge, dishwasher. Dining table seats 6 and expands to 8.
For Families Stroller, pack & play, high chair, Magna tiles, board games, and children's books are all provided. Our grandkids built a "ground house" out back that yours can discover. With 8 private acres, children have real
room to roam — no road noise, no neighbors in earshot.
The Location Southwest Harbor is the quiet side of Mount Desert Island — less crowded, more authentic, and with its own remarkable Acadia access. Ship Harbor and Wonderland Trails are 6 minutes from the door. Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse is minutes away. The village of Southwest Harbor — great restaurants, a working
waterfront — is 1.5 miles. The main park (Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain, Sand Beach) is a 30- 35 minute drive.
October foliage and uncrowded trails make this one of the best shoulder-season destinations on the island.
Our prices include all fees.
No hidden fees.
