Notes: The cottage is most suitable for one to two adults, the perfect romantic getaway, yet near the hustle and bustle of village life. All at a daily price for less than local hotels and motels. There is a space for grilling with chairs for relaxing and for watching the stars. The site is on a hillside near the harbor in the village of Southwest Harbor, ME. Private parking for one vehicle. No trailers or motor homes please, as there is not enough room for parking such a vehicle! For golfing guests we have an electric walking cart available (Kangaroo) which carries one bag. See notes on golf course in SWHBR, perfect for an afternoon's round. *Note for Artists: We are minutes from the Acadia Workshop Center, located in Bernard, Me where weekly plain air artist groups gather for instruction from nationally known Art Instructors.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Southwest Harbor, Maine

Regarding Pets: After much consideration, we have decided not to allow pets in our property. Most pets are well behaved, we know, and certainly, many people love to travel with their pets. However, in our experience both personally, and in business, the incidence of allergic reaction to dander is prevalent. So for those with allergies we have established a permanent policy of NO Pets Allowed. Please understand our position, and know we do personally love pets. Our property is NO SMOKING, as well.

Rules of the house:: Good quality linens and towels are provided. Please leave all used linens in a bag by the door for the housekeeper upon your departure, and make sure the cottage is left in the same condition in which you found it. Deposit will be returned as soon as we are advised by the housekeepers that the cottage is in good order. If something is inadvertently broken, please advise us right away. In 2009 our housekeeping charge of $50 will be deducted from the security deposit after departure in place of the original add-on with the reservation. Refund of security deposit will be $250 if there is no damage or extra cleaning required.

Occupancy:: The property is best suited for two adults. No one under the age of 21 is allowed to rent without a parent on premises. Although we want everyone to enjoy themselves, this is a small neighborhood where everyone sleeps with the windows open, so partying and/or playing of loud music or TV after a reasonable hour is not appreciated. Our neighbors are kind and friendly people whose quiet enjoyment of their property we respect. We hope you have a great vacation with us, and will want to return.

Other Activities: Acadia National Park, Hiking, kayaking, photography, painting, shopping, dining

Charming, comfortable, convenient

Petali Vermont
Review Submitted: October 6, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
I felt the thoughtful presence behind the welcoming table set for a meal, the charming, well-maintained furnishings, the spacious sleeping accommodations with a sitting area, and respect for the guests. The location was convenient for all sorts of activities, from exploring the outdoors to shopping in a village and being near restaurants. I apprecieated the nearby food market and specialty market, which had excellent produce, meats, and cheeses. The owners were excellent hosts.

The only things I missed were a lamp for reading near the wing chair, and, in the kitchen, a 2-quart pot and a larger skillet.
Owner's Response: It was our pleasure having these folks as our cottage guests!
We are happy to know they were pleased with their accommodations, and we really appreciate the suggestions for a reading lamp and larger cooking pots and pans. We are making sure those very thoughtful items are added for the convenience of future guests.

Nice Quiet-side Home away from Home

Pasco Germantown, MD
Review Submitted: July 15, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
My wife and I stayed in the Artist's Cottage for a week in July '08. The cottage was cozy, clean, and comfortable, and the 1st morning's scones were delicious. We felt at home as soon as we got in. The neighborhood is quiet, but convenient to all parts of Mount Desert Island, and within a short walk to downtown Southwest Harbor for a nice dinner or shopping. I would recommend this property to any couple that wants a quiet place to stay while exploring Acadia NP and Mount Desert Island. (Definitely too small for anymore than 2 people.)

We spoke to some other folks who were staying in Bar Harbor, and they were jealous of our quiet accommodations on the West Side of the island. Can't wait to return.
Owner's Response: We are thrilled that Beth and Pasco enjoyed our Artist's Cottage here in Southwest Harbor for their vacation on Mt. Desert Island. They were so nice, very quiet and ever so appreciative of even the smallest thing we did for them. We only wish they could have stayed longer! They were considerate of our property, and left it in exceptionally fine condition upon their departure. These kind of folks make hosting a guesthouse a real pleasure, and we do appreciate their kind comments.We definitely hope they will return! .
