Studio 1 chambre cosy au centre du village, Southwest Harbor - "Chambre Manset"

Nestled in Southwest Harbor, this delightful efficiency apartment, “Manset,” offers partial views of the Harbor and is easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, and cafes. Partially renovated in 2025, the unit is on the second level of a five-level condo building. The space offers 1 cozy bedroom with a queen bed and a futon couch/bed in the living area for additional guests.

Southwest Harbor is known as the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island. There are numerous hikes, walks, and attractions in nearby Acadia National Park, including the Seawall, Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Echo Lake Beach, and hiking trails. The Island Explorer Bus (free) stops at the center of town, providing access to all the villages of Mount Desert Island. There are several restaurants nearby that serve lobster!

When you book, I will send you a curated “Acadia and Mount Desert Island Quick Adventure Guide.” The Guide features highlights of Acadia National Park and details for local restaurants, cafes, and hikes. It includes links for must-see places in the park, the Island Explorer Bus system, activities, and some hidden gems!
