Our all-wood interior vacation home was built in 1990. It is in a private wooded setting, on a circle off the main road. We are a short 1/2 mile walk to the waterfront, and a mile to the town center. The house is 1000 sq. ft., 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. The main living area is open plan, with well-equipped kitchen, dining room, and living room. The kitchen has a newer refrigerator, newer range, brand-new dishwasher and microwave. A brand new bathroom (with shower only) with washer and dryer.

The spacious master bedroom has a king bed. The guest bedroom has one king bed and the living room/den has a full foldout sofa. Broadband Wifi Internet access is included.

We have a new large deck with a gas grill, outdoor table and 4 wrought-iron chairs for outdoor dining. We also have four Adirondack chairs and table for a relaxing retreat.

Two cross-terrain bikes and car-rack with helmets are in the shed.

The house can accommodate up to six people.

Great week
Perfect spot for my week in Maine. Spent my days exploring Acadia and returned each evening to a cozy place for the evening. Central location. Alicia and Todd were great. I would stay here again.

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Bliss Cabin for our babymoon. Truly a special home in a special place. Our third time to Acadia/MDI and this cabin was a perfect home for us for the week. Thank you so much for opening your home to us!

Relaxing Stay
I needed to get away from the throngs of people and this fit the bill! Beautiful idyllic setting but close enough to town for necessary items. Very convenient to tourist sites but out of the mainstream congestion. Will definitely visit again!

Great Place
Great place to stay while on Acadia vacation. Close enough to everything yet out of the way for privacy. Comfortable place to stay. The mosquitos are bad, so be prepared.

Very nice private stay at Bliss.
We enjoyed our stay at Bliss in October. The property was very private and very close to SW Harbor. A storm cut our stay short by a couple days as the cottage lost power and we had to leave to stay in a hotel the last 2 nights. With no power and with well water, no power = no water. The cottage was clean and was just as described. The internet worked well and there was plenty of room and lots of assets for cooking if we had wanted to. The property is out of town and very dark at night. No street lighting and no lighting outside other than the porch lights. A dusk to dawn light would have been helpful so that we would not have to leave the car running until we got everything in the cottage when we returned each night. The property would be very nice for a small family or 2 couples. Summer rentals would allow for outdoor sitting on the deck. I would recommend the property for rental. The price was reasonable.

Wonderfully quiet and peaceful
The cabin was quaint, comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the wooded, mostly-private deck. We loved the location on Mt Desert Island, a scenic drive from the hustle-bustle crowds of Bar Harbor and oh, so convenient for exploring all parts of Acadia National Park! We had a wonderful time and would recommend this place to all our friends.

Blissful Retreat
The house was just enough for our needs. It’s a cute little cabin tucked away....felt very private. It was just enough amenities for our family...comfortable beds, washer and dryer, games, TV and pots to cook lobsters. Lots of family time here. Conveniently there was a lady minutes from the house selling lobster for $6/lb...that was great!! Our family has been visiting MDI for the last 4 yrs now, and it was our first time staying in Southwest Harbor. The only negative we had was that we had to drive further than normal to get to the areas we wanted to hike and visit, which was not a big deal. As a “get away”, it was perfect. Ashley, the cleaner, left her number if we needed anything and was available immediately when I texted her. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful Location!
The area was amazing. It was quiet with just one mile to the town center were there were amazing places to eat. The bed was comfortable for my husband and I. Our two dogs loved hiking on the trails and playing in the ocean. Would definitely stay again!
