Amazing stay in Southwest Harbor!

We just spent two weeks at Cyd and Ken’s wonderful place! They went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. Their place is beautifully decorated (including fresh flowers) and warm and cozy. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen, fireplace, comfortable furnishings and great internet access. Trails into town and to Acadia are accessible from their property - quite a treat! They are very responsive to questions/requests. A perfect vacation (thanks Cyd and Ken)!

Fantastic!

The Carriage House is a true gem on the “Quiet Side” in Southwest Harbor Maine! Cyd and Ken were are wonderful hosts and made us feel so welcome. Little touches like fresh flowers, wood for the fire pit, lots of books and pamphlets on Acadia…I could go on. Everything was wonderful! Thank you Cyd and Ken for helping to make our vacation extra special! 💕
