Great for quiet side
The location on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island was exactly what we were looking for—peaceful, scenic, and away from the crowds, yet still an easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

A cosy stay in the best location!
We had a wonderful stay, check-in and check out was simple. The house was so cozy and a great location to get around the island. Close to some of the easier hikes and not far to drive to Bar Harbor. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Great stay
We had a great stay here. Jen was extremely communicative and the property was just as listed. We had a comfortable stay here as a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 child). Short walk to SWH center and close drive to most places in the park we wanted to visit. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great house and location. Jen was a very helpful and accommodating host. The on-line guide to area attractions, shops and restaurants was absolutely amazing- the best I have ever seen. Highly recommended.

Quietside Cottage was in a great location, just a short walk to Southwest Harbor (shops and restaurants). The home was fine (sunporch great), but needs some maintenance to make it great. Communication with the manager was very good and their digital guide best I have seen.

This compact and well-equipped house is conveniently located on a quiet neighborhood street within walking distance of downtown Southwest Harbor. The bedrooms are small, but adequate and the beds very comfortable. There were plenty of extra towels and linens, and the kitchen had many basic supplies, such as spices, paper, towels, dishwasher detergent, etc. Our group of four adults, a toddler, and a dog was able to spread out in the comfortably living room and made use of the deck and sun porch as well. We had a couple of inconveniences related to a broken washing machine and running two ACs simultaneously on an uncharacteristically hot day. But our host, Jen, was impressively responsive to all messages and did her best to resolve the problems, which was complicated by the Fourth of July weekend. In the end, we were only moderately inconvenienced for a short period of time. All in all, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the house and the neighborhood. Recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Quietside Cottage. We loved the quiet street for our kids to walk and ride bikes on; we loved proximity to town to be able to walk to ice cream, coffee, and restaurants. We loved proximity to hiking in Acadia, and swimming at Echo lake. We loved proximity to the SW bus stop to be able to get to Bar Harbor without a car. In terms of the house itself, the three season room was our favorite place to be - very comfortable for our kids and for us. The bedrooms were small but comfortable, with much-needed AC units throughout. We loved having laundry machines as our little kids generate laundry fast!Our toddler really loved the big bathtub and enjoyed his nightly splashes.Only note to add, for parents of little kids - there is an open area of the staircase so that was a potential hazard that we were able to navigate with careful one-to-one supervision while on the stairs. Would encourage adding that to the listing description, or a photo of it for full disclosure ahead of time.

The shower is awful, hope you aren’t tall!The kitchen is far from fully stocked or usable to cook meals in.The floors are uneven and sloped around the closet and fridge making you feel like you’re falling. The windows in the kitchen don’t open.The staircase is treacherous. Why is there not a railing on both sides of a semi- circular step?There looks like a lot of unfinished work or sloppy work trying to get the place ready for season.I’m not a snob and think we were getting a palace but this was really a disappointment. It felt like a step up from camping, which is not what renting a house is suppose to be. It was also in a location that was not great. The house behind you that completely overlooks you is never shown in photos. The deck and the grill were dirty!
