Great location, beautiful view, nice townhome
My family of four--mom, dad and two 20-something kids--stayed in this townhome in late August 2022. It was a nice space with a view of the water above the treetops and nice balconies with chairs. Some detail....
We flew in to Boston from the mid-west and drove (6 hours including an hour stop for dinner) to get in at 8:30 pm. The manager at the front desk was VERY helpful. She gave us an overview of the property and a map of the area, noting great hikes and interesting things to see. As a runner, I asked her if there were good places to run in the area. She gave me a great tip--there's a trail behind the building to the left of this one that takes you down to downtown Southwest Harbor (.25 mile as a foresty trail, then turn right on Main St and it's another .25 mile to the area with shops and restaurants).
This townhome is roughly a 30-minute drive to Bar Harbor and the main sites of Acadia National Park (Park Loop Road, Thunder Hole, Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain, Gorham Mountain). There are also some good hiking trails very close by in Southwest Harbor. There's also a market not too far away which came in handy; restaurants in the area are much pricier than we were expecting!
This townhome is a nice space--3 levels in all. Just to clarify the description a bit...There is A/C, but it's one wall unit in the living room. There is no A/C in the upstairs BR, nor in the basement BR, and it can get quite warm and very humid and damp. Also, the upstairs BR is not an enclosed room; it's more of a loft area. If someone is in the main living area downstairs while you're trying to sleep, the light and sound will enter the BR. Ear plugs and eye shades are recommended.
Overall, we really enjoyed our first trip to Maine and our stay at this townhome! And the owner of the property was very responsive to our questions and issues. Thank you!
