About this property
The "Barn Loft"
The "Barn Loft" designed by owner/builder was completed in the fall of 2023. Located adjacent to the owner's residence in town Southwest Harbor this property is off the street and surrounded by 5 acres of fields, trees, and views of Acadia's western mountains providing the perfect country escape feeling. Second floor, completely furnished, spacious open concept living area with full kitchen, dining, 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Master bedroom with king bed and en suite, guest bedroom with 2 double beds. Maximum occupancy for 6. Cable, WIFI, heat pump, and deck seating. Grill and fire pit on the deck. It should be noted that due to the second floor location, this property would not be suitable for anyone who cannot manage a lengthy staircase, or for small children as the staircase is open (no door, no gate). The heat pump provides heat and air conditioning and is located in the open living area. Bedrooms do not have air conditioning units however, they do each have fans and thermal blinds. Sorry no pets, and no smoking. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants, marina, bus route, and minutes away from Acadia National Park, biking, hiking, swimming, fishing, and boating. This property truly is the perfect escape. About the host - Wes is a 6th generation Southwest Harbor native whose passion is spending time outside. He and his wife Dawn decided to start their dream project, so, they began with building the barn in 2020. They are very excited to offer the "Barn Loft". The couple's love of the outdoors is the inspiration of their project. They want to provide a relaxing place for vacationers to escape and enjoy the beauty of the quiet side of the island and all that Acadia National Park has to offer.

Loft was great. Plenty of room. The living room and kitchen were well stocked. Bedrooms were big and nice to have two bathrooms. Very private location at Southwest Harbor.
This is an amazing property. The entrance stair is steep and wide. It wouldn't be good for little kids (no baby gate possible) or anyone with a mobility issues. The deck is amazing. One of my goals for the vacation was star gazing at Acadia, and I just stayed at the house and used the deck. I even saw a shooting star! Everything was clean and I would book it again!
This property was perfect for our weekend getaway to ANP. It was very clean and quiet. We especially enjoyed the fire pit on the deck in the cool evenings after long days of hiking. We’ll be back again!
Everything about the stay was great. The loft was clean, the rooms comfortable, and the kitchen had all the essentials for daily meals. The location was quiet but only a short walk to main street or down to the dock. We enjoyed the view and watching the wildlife from the deck. Overall a wonderful place!
Our family had a great stay at the Barn Loft. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and in a beautiful area! Close enough to Acadia to enjoy all the park has to offer but without all the congestion. We would certainly stay here again!
The place was amazing. Accommodations were clean and close to a lot of attractions. Host were very nice and helpful. Highly recommend the Barn Loft for your stay.
This was a perfect spot for our family of four. We loved being on the quieter side of the island and enjoyed the nearby hikes (Flying Mountain, Acadia Mountain, Beech Cliff, Ship Harbor and Wonderland). The house was immaculate and comfortable. We especially loved the outdoor seating and fire.
The barn loft was great for us! Very comfortable and well supplied. We stayed here to visit Acadia and the location worked well for us. The owner did such a good job creating this space.Southwest Harbor was a good choice since its near ethe park but quiter than Bar Harbor. I would highly recommend the barn loft!
This is a great place: clean, comfortable, and the kitchen is well-stocked. We enjoyed sitting by the fire table on the deck in the evening and watching deer in the yard. Southwest Harbor has restaurants but is quieter than Bar Harbor which we liked. It is close to Acadia and Bar Harbor.
Everything about this rental was wonderful. The newly-renovated space--so open and comfortable. We loved being able to walk to restaurants and across the "causeway" to a great hike in Acadia at Flying Mountain. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time at the Barn Loft. It was very clean and new. Great location and about 20 mins to Acadia National Park. Hosts were great and we will be recommending this place to friends.
This was the perfect place to stay for our groups MDI marathon weekend. We were super close to the finish line in Southwest Harbor, which is more peaceful than Bar Harbor. Both BH and SWH have plenty of great restaurants and Bar Harbor is only a 15 minute beautiful drive.
Roomy and beautifully done! The hosts were spot on and friendly . Nice kitchen, deck and clean . Short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor . The little Southwest Harbor town itself around the corner and had a few restaurants and shops to offer . Highly recommend
My daughters and I stayed here for 5 nights and it was better then we could have imagined. So cozy, this place is a jewel. I can’t encourage viewers enough to snatch up this great location!
This was the perfect location for the 2nd half of our Maine trip. With 2 beds/2baths, there was plenty of room for us to stretch out. P)]We could 】〕【⁹【9⁹⁹ to downtown SW Harbor where there were fun shops and restaurants. It was a lovely 1/2 hour drive to Acadia. We'd happily stay again!
Such a beautiful newly remodeled location! Had a lovely deck in the back with a nice view. Everything was clean and neat. An excellent central point for all of our activities on the island. Host was nearby and responded promptly to messages. Would definitely recommend and I hope to stay there again!
