About this property

New listing! New updared pictures! Stunning, Historic Captain Mayo House, SWH!

  • What an opportunity to spend your family vacation in a vintage historic inn turned single family home. Built between 1857-61 by a local captain, Jacob Shop Mayo. He built this home for his family on this location so that he could oversee his ships in the harbor. Located just a few minutes walk into the village of Southwest Harbor on the "Quietside" of Mount Desert Island. This home has many historic features but has been nicely updated to accommodate a larger family or group. Each of it's five bedrooms has it's own bathroom, and many feature sitting areas and outdoor access to either decks or the garden area. Dining and living area can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. Kitchen has 2 dishwashers, ranges, & refrigerators to make meal times a breeze! This historic home has many outdoor areas to enjoy as well. The shared garden area will also have Adirondack chairs and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Charm is this house's middle name, your family will love to come back again and again to this little piece of heaven that we call Southwest Harbor! Please be patient with photos, we will update as we're able to get them... former family is in the process of moving on to new adventures!
