About this property
Charming 3-bedroom house in lovely Southwest Harbor with AC, WiFi
Formerly known as the Wayside Inn this bright and spacious 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath house has been recently renovated and boosts new stylish furnishings , a large wraparound porch…a great place to have your morning coffee or evening drink.
The house was built in the late 1800s and was previously owned by a retired lighthouse keeper. It is located directly across from the Charlotte Rhodes Butterfly Garden as well as Milagro Coffee Bar and the Shoppes at Southwest Harbor.
The house rents by the week from Sunday to Sunday during July & August. Other times of the year we have a 4 night minimum. Bookings of 7 nights or longer will receive an automatic discount of 20%.
We are within walking distance to the downtown Southwest Harbor shops & restaurants as well as the Causeway Club (golf, tennis, squash, pickle ball). We are minutes away from many Acadia National Park hiking trails. The Bass Harbor Light House and Seawall are about a 10 minute drive and Bar Harbor Village about a 20 minute drive.
If downtown noises bother you (cars, delivery trucks, lobster trucks, boats being towed) you will want to book something outside of the Village as this house is located on Main Street.
Please, note the stairs going up to the second floor are steep and could be a safety issue for families with toddlers.

About the host
Your host

We moved from Seattle to Maine in 1997 and ran our coffee shop "Milagro Coffee & Espresso" on Mt. Desert Island for 22 years. Not only do we love the beauty of the island but the close knit community that exists here.
Why they chose this property
We prefer the more relaxed southern side of the island as Bar Harbor has become to commercial and hectic.
What makes this property unique
This used to be the Wayside Inn built around 1890. It was previous owned by a lighthouse keeper and his wife. It is close to many amenities as well as Acadia National Park hiking trails.
