Lovely little spot

This rental had everything we needed for a relaxing stay in SW Harbor. Our dog loved the open areas to roam and we enjoyed watching the wildlife in the morning as we drank our coffee.

Great location

The Barn Studio was very neat and clean, and just the right size for the 2 of us. The location was quiet, and it was just a short walk to the downtown area with restaurants and shops. We had a great time on Mt. Desert Island and highly recommend Dawn's place.

Cozy and Pet-Friendly Getaway in Southwest Harbor

Our stay at The Barn Studio was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and easy to check into. It’s a great option if you're looking for a quieter alternative to Bar Harbor. The space is very dog-friendly, and there was plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors after a day exploring Acadia National Park. We highly recommend dining at Harbor Table—the food was delicious and atmosphere was excellent!

A respite on the Quiet Side

If you enjoy Acadia but not all of the bustle, this is the perfect spot. It is ideally suited, being walking distance to the town of Southwest Harbor, and Island Explorer bus stop, and is a short drive to some of the best trailheads. The house is on a quiet side street, is super clean, and has a lovely yard. Great for birdwatching too!

Wonderful Stay!

Dawn’s place was absolutely lovely! Located in small town of Southwest Harbor it’s very walkable to lunch and dinner places as well as shops. Also very easy to drive to local hikes, Acadia NP, and Bar Harbor. The place itself was clean, tidy, and perfectly situated for my wife and me, along with our dog. Planning to visit again!

Beautiful, private, dog-friendly space!

If you’re looking for a pet-friendly stay near Acadia National Park, look no further! We enjoyed being away from the bustle of Bar Harbor with room for our fur baby to be outside while relaxing after sunset. We found the adorably decorated apartment clean and comfortable. Laundromat, restaurants, and grocery stores all nearby. Wonderful!

Adorable space

We loved having a clean relaxing space to come back to every night after a long day of hiking. We were also amazed at the noise control as we heard absolutely nothing from the upstairs apartment. The hosts were so kind and responsive. We would definitely stay again if we ever get the chance to return.

Wonderful location; really well done space!

My dog and I had a great week with Wes and Dawn. Walked into town almost every day and found a close path (down the street) that opened up to the Ocean for my pup to swim. Such a comfortable place after many days of long hikes and so nice and quiet to sleep with the windows open with a great breeze.

Amazing Location & Perfect Spot

We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for our MDI vacation. Right in the heart of downtown SW harbor we were able to walk to all the town has to offer. Dawn’s property is absolutely breathtaking and she is such a lovely host. The cabin although smaller has the perfect layout to fit 4 and a dog comfortably! Clearly so much thought went into the design.
