About this property

Gladeview: A Craftsman Retreat

A private drive up 'Pork Chop Lane' from the main road paves your way back to this serene retreat in nature. Feast on lobster, crab, and blueberry pie to your hearts content in this sun-drenched, handcrafted cloister nestled in Southwest Harbor overlooking the Bass Harbor everglade.

Upon entrance, the chef's kitchen/dining room/living room area ramble along an open floor plan, all canopied by a sweeping cathedral ceiling. A spectacular wall-of-windows encase atrium doors leading out onto a 10' deep wraparound promenade deck offering an expansive southern exposure vista of untouched wildlife. With pine-crafted woodwork throughout, the main floor includes 2 large bedrooms on juxtaposing sides of the house with queen beds in each. They are separated by a full bath and stairwell to the lower level. The lavatory offers a soaking tub with separate tiled shower.

The lower level offers a family room , an exercise room, a laundry room and an additional set of atrium doors leading out to an additional patio area.

October getaway

The house is in a beautiful section of Southwest Harbor, it is on a private little dirt road with only 3 houses on it, beautiful marsh on the deck side of property. We were able to be secluded but be 5 minutes from town as well. We all had a great stay.

Convenient & Quiet Location

Beautiful home in a quiet and convenient location. It was a short distance from hikes, Bar Harbor and the Park Loop Road. Plenty of restaurants close by. We loved sitting on the large deck and playing games at the large table. The home was very clean and well stocked with what we needed. We loved that we could bring our dogs with us on our Maine trip. We would stay here again on another trip to Maine.

Great stay, perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay at Theresa’s place. The house is super clean and comfortable and the setting is tranquil. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet side of MDI. Everything we need is nearby without the crowds. Lots of activities as well such as hiking, kayaking and taking a dip at echo lake. The Arcadia national park is a pleasant 20 min drive away. We wish to be back!

Year 4 was great. Looking forward to year 5

Theresa has a wonderful property with all the amenities that make it a comfortable stay for our family. It now feels like our home away from home when we arrive each summer. It’s clean, thoughtfully appointed, and the windows in the main living space make you feel like you are sitting in the middle of the woods. We love the back deck and spend hours out there looking for birds and enjoying the Maine summer. We can’t wait to return next year.

This is our second consecutive year at Theresa’s home and we are booking for next year. This home is wonderfully appointed, and in a nice location. Everything you would need is provided. I selfishly hate to admit what a beautiful home and lovely host Theresa is. She is easy to contact and addresses questions immediately. We feel home when we get there. Thank you for another great year!

Peaceful retreat after a day on the Trails

This is a beautiful house on a beautiful, peaceful property within a few miles from the center of Southwest Harbor. Best meal was at Beal’s, and enjoyed ice cream at the Salt Box. Close to Wonderland Trail and Ship Harbor Trail, which made for good walks with our dog each morning. The house is clearly well cared for, with a lovely deck where we could enjoy our morning coffee. Easy communication with the host, too. The house is about 20 minutes from Bar Harbor, with easy access to all the Acadia Trails, including Cadillac Mtn. And Jordan Pond House. Would stay here again!

Ideal location on the quiet side of Acadia.

We explored much of Acadia and always had a comfortable well equipped place to return to. Gladeview was very nice and we had all we needed. We highly recommend this place to families or friends who want the balance of exploration and a quiet place to relax and enjoy the beauty all around.

Great place near Acadia

The house was clean, well stocked, organized and very inviting. It had a nice open concept layout. The beds were very comfortable. Location was perfect for visiting and riding bikes within Acadia. Many great places to eat close by. The home was quiet and secluded. The porch was huge. We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the red squirrels, the chickadees, and the blue herons in the Glade. We will definitely be back.

Gladeview continues to knock it out of the park

This was our 3rd summer at Gladeview with Theresa. We had another lovely stay and her home was the perfect setup for us. If you like lots of bright, natural light, this is the place for you. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s immaculately clean and has all the things you need to settle in and feel like you’re at home while on vacation. Thanks for continuing to provide us with a beautiful home for our summer trip to MDI.

Take a walk on the quiet side

We enjoyed our stay at Gladeview. It was a short drive away from the busy world of Bar Harbor, but all of Mt. Desert Island and ANP were easily accessible. A trail was in walking distance, and I found a few more a short drive away via the AllTrails app. I really liked Ship Harbor Trail. Beautiful! The house had a fully stocked kitchen and we loved the deck with the hammock. Theresa was communicative and helpful.

Great house & location but too many little things = 4 stars

Great house in a great location on the "quiet side" of MDI. There is a free shuttle bus stop, mini-golf & plenty of restaurants to choose from without having to drive up to Bar Harbor. When at the house, most of our time was spent upstairs or on the deck, but the basement is a great spot to beat the heat of the afternoon sun & it has the most comfortable seating options. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The little things - all small "inconveniences" but when added up, I took a star off the overall rating. 1. Smoke detector - arrived Sat.; detector out of reach started beeping Sun.; contacted Theresa & Sandy came quick & replaced battery; same detector started beeping again Mon; contacted T & S came quick & just removed the whole thing as there is another detector outside the smaller bedroom. That detector started beeping on Tues. We just pulled the battery on that one & did not contact Theresa until end of week. 2. Mosquito monthly spraying took place while there. T let me know & said we didn't need to be there, but 1/2 our group was there with their car which got covered with pesticide - enough that they felt the need to pay for a car wash. Would have been nice for sprayer to let them know to move car. 3. Check out time:11am on VRBO - cleaning people showed up just after 10 & when I mentioned #4 while they were waiting for us to finish, the woman had an annoyed tone. 4. None of the pillows on the bed apparently were the ones we were supposed to sleep on.

Home away from home

Located in a beautiful setting that was peaceful and private. We enjoyed the large deck to be outside for meals, reading and stargazing. The kitchen was well supplied for preparing meals. Daylight comes in trough the expanse of windows making a pleasant space. Of course the great deep tub and great shower were nice to have. When the heat wasn’t coming up, Teresa had someone come and take care of that. We so enjoyed our stay.

Great House and Great Host

From the very beginning, Theresa was easy to communicate with, always prompt to respond to messages. The house is clean, well maintained and stocked with everything we needed for a week long stay. I would highly recommend Theresa’s house to any one visiting MDI, we enjoyed being close to Bar Harbor and ANP. If staying with your dog, as we did, there is a 2 mile path just steps away that is very popular with the locals that we discovered the last day of our trip. I wish we had found it earlier.
