Great house, great location!!

Arlyss Orinda, CA
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Just back from a week in Southwest Harbor - we have spent many years there with family - this year rented the Rice cottage with us and our daughter, son-in-law and a 4 mo baby - worked out so beautifully!! The house is well protected from the street, but about 1 minute from the center of town, shops, coffee, etc. The master suite/apartment (new addition) is lovely and the other two bedrooms and bath in the old cottage are quite separate upstairs - so great for our group. The old cottage is decorated beautifully (lots of antiques - probably not great for lots of active kids as some are fragile) and the house has a wonderful openess with a huge lawn in the back. The old cottage has some angled flooring due to age and settling, etc, but gives a real "Old Maine feeling" while the new addition and updated kitchen make the house very au currant. Kitchen is well stocked, and nicely appointed. Really nice owners to work with, and, again - a wonderful location - close to trails, lobster pounds, town, etc.

From one who knows the accomodations in Southwest Harbor quite well, this is a great find!! Thanks you Cummins and Diane!
