It was perfect for my daughter and I. So cozy and had everything we needed. Having a washer dryer was awesome and we were able to cook our own dinners every night. Also, we were able to watch World Cup games which was a great way to wind down at night.

We enjoyed our stay in The Bungalow! It was close to Acadia and to some great little restaurants, and away from the crowdedness of Bar Harbor. The space was very clean and Ingrid provided lots of helpful information about the area before our arrival.

The Bungalow was a sweet little gem in Southwest Harbor! The cottage was clean, had a super comfortable bed and felt secluded from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. The location provided easy access to Acadia and nearby attractions. If we are fortunate enough to return to the area, we would absolutely stay at The Bungalow again!

This was a wonderful property to stay at if you plan on visiting Southwest Harbor. My wife and I were looking for a quiet property on the "Quiet Side of the Island" and we found this gem that fit our trip perfectly. We wanted a property that we could unwind at night after long days of visiting Acadia, eating lobster and taking plenty of pictures. The property was welcoming and cozy. We really enjoyed having a full kitchen to make our breakfast and dinner meats at. We would definitely consider staying here again next time we come out this way.

We loved staying at the Bungalow for 3 days recently. It was clean and very comfortable. A highlight was a washer/dryer unit, so convenient. The bungalow is set back and in a good location to a grocery store and some restaurants. We hope it is available the next time we go to Mount Desert Island.

Everything was clean and easily accessible. The kitchen supplied just about everything we needed for our 4 night stay. We just needed to purchase perishables. The location was perfect, close to Acadia National Park but on the quieter side. We even saw 3 deer right on the property!

We loved the location and having a washer and dryer with soap provided! The Bungalow was very clean and the reason I gave it a 4 rather than a 5 is because the furniture was stained, the couch was bumpy from the springs and the bedspread didn’t smell fresh. The place itself was quite cool with the old wood mixed in the structure. The kitchen is beautifully redone and is well stocked. The bed was comfy although it is a very tight room for space. The bathroom was very clean and spacious. We would stay here again if in the area.

The bungalow was a great way to see all Acadia has to offer while staying separate from the business of Bar Harbor. The unit is cozy and has plenty of stocked appliances. Southwest Harbor is a hidden gem and still close to any sights you have on your agenda.
