About this area
Mt. Desert Island’s second largest village, Southwest Harbor, features a charming Main Street with an appealing assortment of shops and restaurants. The neighboring village of Manset, which is along the southern shore of the harbor, tends to be rural in nature but features a number of excellent restaurants and boatyards, including Hinckley Yacht Yard and Morris Yachts, both of which boast an international reputation. If Bar Harbor is the ‘gateway’ to Acadia, Southwest Harbor is the gateway to Acadia’s westside trails and attractions, including Seawall, Ship’s Harbor, and Echo Lake, all between five and eight minutes from the village center.

Perfect home for our family vacation! The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. An unexpected bonus was that we could walk to the Flying Mountain Trail (our favorite!) and to a lovely stone beach on the way to town. We spent every night around the campfire cooking s’mores and watching the Perseids Meteor Showers. The agents at Knowles were easy to work with and quick to respond. Would definitely recommend.
My family and I drove up the street and driveway to Carrolls Hill House and were grinning ear to ear! It was more akin to pulling into a campground than your typical home. The house is essentially set in a beautiful “campsite” surrounded by tall pines, moss covered granite and the sounds of nature to still your soul. The house itself was clean and well kept. We loved the exposed wood ceiling which gave it a cabin-like feel. We also enjoyed the windows and sliding doors to catch the island breeze. Many hotdogs and smores were cooked over the fire pit. We had a clear night to see the Milky Way and a few meteors zipping by. Knowles was great to work with. They were super friendly and made the process really easy. Would definitely stay here again!
We had such a great week here! The house was comfortable, very clean, and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked and made meal prep easy. The master bedroom was so spacious and the kids loved having the upstairs to themselves. We enjoyed the firepit at night and the grill too. We loved the location on the quiet side. A grocery store was super close and Southwest Harbor has lots of restaurant choices. It was so close to great hiking and Bar Harbor was only 25 minutes away. Knowles Co was super to work with and sent park and reservation information. They were very responsive to emails as well. Would definitely stay through them again if we are lucky enough to return to Acadia!
