The image below gives you an overall view of our campus. Cottages are scattered around the property and offer privacy as well as a variety of layouts. The Main Building features rooms with a view while the South Units are all on the ground level and have two beds. The efficiencies are the best of both worlds, combining the space and amenities of the cottages with locations in the primary buildings.
Southwest Harbor, on the western side of Mount Desert Island, is part of an area known as the "quiet side." Located only minutes from Acadia National Park, our motel and cottages provide the perfect accommodations for your home base.

Several of our units are pet friendly. Because we love traveling with our pets and understand the challenges, we only charge a nominal fee for your furry friends. It's hard to see all of the sights in this area in just a day or two, so for those longer stays, make sure you book a unit with a kitchen that has all the tools you need to create basic meals.

We stayed here a few nights ago. Didn’t sleep AT ALL. The heater banged and shook every 30 minutes at an unbelievable volume. There was no one there to talk to. We left early in the morning not having slept and it ruined our trip to Acadia. Would have asked for a refund if you could get a hold of anyone. There was also a floodlight shining directly into the room.

We lucked out and got a place here last minute to come to town for a summer of COVID mini wedding. We had our little dog with us and this place was perfect! We stayed in the south building and the rooms were newly and tastefully renovated in 2020. They had perfect little decks outside to hang out with the dog and eat breakfast in the morning or lunch in the afternoon. It’s a quick walk into Southwest Harbor. Firm but comfortable mattress and brand new pillows, towels, etc. Coffee, ice, hair dryer, iron, mini fridge, ocean view, they had everything we needed!
