About this property
Rustic Farmhouse (4-Bedroom Home) - Pets Allowed by RedAwning
Welcome to our charming century-old farmhouse, situated on a 5-acre property
that was once the site of a working farm. Today, it offers a serene retreat
that has an expansive lawn (perfect for outdoor activities) leading to a
verdant field of wildflowers.
Retaining its original character with vintage furnishings and a welcoming
atmosphere, the primary bedroom and kitchen have a stunning view of the field
and nineteenth-century barn. A covered porch invites you to relax and enjoy
the company of friends and family. It is an ideal place for nature lovers and
those seeking tranquility.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, the farmhouse is centrally located in
Southwest Harbor. A brief walk gets you to the village center in one
direction and an active harbor filled with lobster boats in another. A scenic
walk takes you to a corner of Acadia National Park: all other destinations on
the island are minutes away.
Whether you're seeking a getaway or a family retreat, our farmhouse is the
perfect spot!

Our primary goal was to see Acadia national park! This house was in a great central location to multiple attractions and only a short drive to Acadia! The house was very clean and well prepared for us! Host was easy to contact and responded timely! Would definitely stay here again!

Stay
The house and location were beautiful! My one and only reason for not leaving a five star review was that the shower did not work when we got there. The house only had one bathroom so having no shower was an incredible inconvenience. We had to shower at a friend’s house thankfully. We were compensated 261.00 dollars, which I appreciate, but truly this never should have been the scenario. Made me wonder if the tub had actually been cleaned because you would have thought the cleaner would have noticed this when cleaning it after the last tenants. Otherwise, we loved the house, the location and how well equipped the house was.
If you want a classic Maine summer cottage experience, this is it. Walkable to everything SW Harbor has to offer. Lots of outdoor space for Dog Argos as well!
I will not recommend this place, too expensive for an old house.. the doors are hard to closed, no door locks on the bedrooms!! No TV! No parking! And the bathtub is covered with shower curtain.. not good if you are claustrophobic! We thought it’s only 300 plus dollars for a night.. We ended up paying for 600 a night!
