Four Winds Cottage

This recently renovated cottage has a beautiful coastal vibe. Modern amenities come together with vintage accents such as shiplap, hemlock beams and original fireplace and chimney creating a quintessential Maine cottage. Large deck with outdoor dining and lounging and a large yard make it great for one or two families. The house is located two blocks from the town center so it is close to restaurants and shops.

Our stay at the Coastal Cottage was exactly what we needed as a group of 5 adults. The location was perfect for our adventures around MDI and the house was in great condition! The small touches like having beach towels, extra blankets, coffee, laundry, etc. available made our stay even better.

My friends and I were in town to run the Mount Desert Island half marathon and hike Acadia National Park. We greatly appreciated the amenities provided and cleanliness and warm feeling of the house. The sunroom was a great place to relax. This was the perfect location for us and town was very walkable. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Charming and Cozy Cottage

This house was lovely. The setting was relaxing and quiet. We were able to walk to some of the small local stores and bakeries nearby. Convienent location for accessing the national park and many local attractions. I cannot recommend this home enough. We would definitely go back!

Great House!

The experience we had with Ingrid, the owner, was exceptional! The house was exactly as stated on the rental description. Southwest Harbour has some nice options for restaurants and is close to Bar Harbor. The updates made to the house were nice and fit the style. If I was going back, I would stay here again!

Fantastic vacation house!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautifully and thoughtfully decorated home. The hosts were very communicative and immediately reached out when it looked like Hurricane Lee might affect our stay. The house had everything we needed and was conveniently located with stores, restaurants, and a great coffee spot close by. The beds were very comfortable and the house was extremely quiet with plenty of off-street parking. I would happily stay here again if we’re back in this area.
