Had a lovely stay at the Manset Studio! It is the perfect space for two when visiting Acadia. We truly felt welcomed by Mary while maintaining our privacy. The apartment had everything we needed form a kitchen full of dishes and cookware to every map and guidebook we needed during our stay. We were even able to watch a meteor shower from the balcony.

Wonderful

We had a wonderful visit to the quietside in Southwest Harbor. The studio was very comfortable, quiet and we really appreciated the little extra "goodies" that Mary and Tom provided on our arrival. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again.

My husband and I really enjoyed our week at Manset Studio. It was a charming and comfortable apartment with lovely views of trees and a field, very tranquil and private. We found the location just a few minutes south of Southwest Harbor to be a good base for our explorations of MDI. The bed and futon sofa were both very comfy, and the kitchen and bath had everything we needed! Mary and Tom, our warm and friendly hosts, provided lots of helpful brochures as well as suggestions. The pine paneling throughout the apartment added to the feeling of tranquility. We would happily stay there again, and probably will!

Owner's Response:

Wonderful that you had a relaxing ,comfortable stay!Warmly,Mary and Tom

Having family with grandchildren on MDI, it is often a challenge to find a place to stay in the off season. Manset Studio is a wonderful find for our family! Mary's hospitality was evident from the moment of arrival, with a handwritten note, a basket of fresh fruit, homemade jam, and snack bars. The studio is aesthetically pleasing with its light wood floors, walls and ceiling. Comfortable living area with access to small deck with meadow views, great lighting for reading or knitting, TV, games, puzzles, magazines, a comfy futon sofa and armchair share half of the space with a fully-equipped kitchen that reminded me of a sailboat galley, with its efficient use of space. There was even milk and juice in fridge, coffee beans, tea, cocoa and all the fixings for lobster meal or picnic. Beautiful botanical paintings on mugs and plates. The front half of the studio contains the most cozy comfortable bed built into its own nook. Staying in January, the flannel sheets, down comforters, and throws, along with excellent reading lights made me want to burrow in till spring! A wall shelf filled with a variety of books sits waiting, a big window catches the sun, there is a small desk and chair equipped with radio/streaming. Adjacent is the spacious bathroom with great lighting, shower with excellent water pressure. This studio met all of my needs for an extended stay. Excellent heat in winter, ceiling fan for summer months with cross ventilation. Private drive for parking very convenient. Mary's discreet accessibility made me feel welcomed, and I knew I could seek her wisdom for local resources. This hideaway studio is a gem! Thank you for all you did to make my stay so welcoming and comfortable, Mary!
