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.

Great house. It had everything we were looking for. The kitchen was well stocked. The three bedrooms and bed arrangements provides for a lot of flexibility. The beds slept very comfortably. The living and dining area are open to each other and provided for evening get togethers. The washer and dryer was very convenient and located in an office area equipped with a desk, monitor and printer. The deck with its fire pit and table and chairs were great for the cool evenings. Conveniently located from downtown Southwest harbor and a quick drive to Bar Harbor and all parts of Acadia. When we return to Acadia, we will definitely hope this house is available. It is an amazing value on the island.
Golden Cove Cottage was as promised. Everything about this house is clean, new and just works perfectly. The interior is immaculate. This is also a convenient location providing a short walk to SW Harbor and the Island Explorer bus stops, and a short drive to many west side trails. Even the drive to Bar Harbor and the Loop is only about 20 minutes. So, I highly recommended the Golden Cove Cottage. Thank you!! We loved it.
The house looks pretty ordinary from the front but inside it is very nice. The pictures are accurate. My family loved the electric reclining sofas when relaxing in the evening. Nice kitchen for cooking in great location for SW Harbor but a bit of a drive to get to main destinations on MDI. About 20 minutes to Bar Harbor and 30 minutes to Sand Beach. As noted in the details bring a lighter if you want to use the fire pit. Originally found this on Vrbo, but did some research and found through Knowles which saved some $ booking direct through Knowles. Worked with Nikki at Knowles who was super nice and helpful.
Everything about this home was exactly what we had hoped it would be. It was neat, clean and nicely decorated. The living room is spacious and the bedrooms very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked including lobster pots that got lots of use! The owner even left blueberry jam and soda for us to enjoy. We also enjoyed the gas fire pit on the back deck! Great location with easy access to all of Acadia National Park. We have already suggested it to several friends! Many thanks!
The house was wonderful, only difficulty was getting the fireplace pilot on but it was taken care of as soon as possible. The management company response time was very quick and we much appreciated the time taken to keep in touch and resolve the fireplace issue. We look forward to visiting again one day! Beautiful home and in a great location! Walking back into the home after a day out and about felt wonderful.
