5 out of 5Perfect place to stay for Acadia
June 07, 2013
Just returned from a two night stay at the Inn at Southwest and wished we could have stayed longer. The Pumpkin Island room was the perfect size, great windows, super comfortable bed, and nice bath. The Inn has great outdoor space for enjoying a glass of wine and cozy indoor space for sitting by the fire. Breakfast was just simply wonderful, too much to mention but really enjoyed the savory scones and French toast with blueberry sauce. The location in Southwest Harbor is perfect for exploring Acadia. We enjoyed the restaurants and shops in walking distance and really liked staying on the quieter side of the island. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5Best Inn in Southwest Harbor
September 17, 2012
What a lovely stay we had in Southwest Harbor. Our host, Sandy, was very kind and helpful with restaurant, hiking, biking, and Acadia questions. Our room was very comfortable -- the inn was beautiful, clean, and well-cared for. Loved all the interesting things in the common rooms. It was great to have access to hot beverages 24/7. Breakfasts each day were absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Deep thanks to Esther, too. I would highly recommend a stay at this B&B when you are in the MDI area. Our stay was 4 nights and we loved it.

My wife and I recently enjoyed our 3rd visiit to the Inn at Southwest. The location of the inn is great and each room is clean, warm and comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful and the afternoon cookies were always a treat. Sandi and Ester continue to deliver top-notch service and are ready to provide helpful tips for exporing the Acadia. This is our favorite place to stay on the island.

Lovely stay. SW Harbor is convenient to all of the areas on the island. There are a number of very nice restaurants within walking distance as well as great lobster pounds. Sandy and Esther are very helpful and make your stay on the island a very positive experience. Our room was clean and bright. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
