2 Bedroom Cottage in Southwest Harbor

A unique 2 BR 1 BA cottage in the woods near Long Pond and Southwest Harbor.
This classic Maine cottage, nestled in the spruce woods above Southwest Harbor, combines charm and comfort in ideal proportions. Indoors it boasts bright, pine-paneled rooms, a fully-equipped kitchen and cathedral ceiling in the great living/dining area. A wood fireplace in the living room will warm you on cool island evenings.
The 1.4ac grounds include a terraced deck, a small lawn for ball games or star-gazing and a plot of beautiful old spruce & cedar woods. A vernal pool in the forest adds a sparkle of water to the landscape in spring & fall, but come in late July or early August if you want to pick your own high-bush blueberries right behind the house!
Acadia National Park and the trails around Long Pond, Beech Mountain & Western Mountain are only a short walk down the road. In the opposite direction, a 5-min drive (or a 20-min walk) will bring you to the shops & restaurants of Southwest Harbor. There you can rent bicycles, kayaks or take the free Island Explorer shuttle buses to all parts of the island.

Review Score:   8
Summary: Cute house and great location. A few minor issues with the range (have to manually light and hard to control heat) and the TV system (remote was intermittent) but nothing major.
