About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quiet location. Home is 1/2 a mile to Seawall Beach and 3 miles to town center.

Stepping Stone is the perfect location for your vacation. It is on a quiet, private road , close to everything Southwest Harbor has to offer. Take the 1/2 mile walk or drive to Seawall Beach or the local lobster pounds, hop in the car and continue on to the hiking trails and Bass Harbor lighthouse, or take the 5 minute drive to the town center for dinner and shopping.
The home itself is spacious and sunny and consists of a master en suite with a queen bed and full bath with walk in shower, a second bedroom with two queens, and a hall bath with a tub/shower combination. There is a full two car attached garage to store your bikes and kayaks. You will also find coolers, beach chairs and lawn games for your enjoyment.
Sit on the deck and relax to the sounds of the waves crashing on Seawall beach, or enjoy an evening fire and unwind from the day's adventures.
PLEASE, if you are traveling with a dog, reach out prior to booking. Also, we do not allow multiple dogs. Thanks so much!

Relaxing stay
Stepping Stones was a wonderful home very well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. Home was very clean. Location was not far out of SWH. Nice front porch to sit out in the late afternoon and fire pit was convenient. Lovely yard with deer walking by. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice space
Property has plenty of living space and nice decor. Beds are really comfy. I thought it was going to be on more of a neighborhood street but was really at the end of a narrow road through the woods. Lots of deer. Pretty cool location and easy to get around. Cell service in all of MDL is sketchy. Not related to this property only— it’s weak everywhere. Wifi was good tho!

Quiet Retreat
Would stay here again. The kitchen was the best supplied for cooking of any VRBO we have stayed in. We spent our days hiking and being active. This was a great place to relax in the evening in a quiet neighborhood away from the crowds. We had one small issue that was handled promptly and with courtesy.

We loved this house
We booked this house for the summer vacation and we loved it. It is close to everything but far enough away to be nice and quiet. We didn't do much cooking, but the house was furnished with all of the stuff needed to cook if you want to. We sat out by the fire pit every night. I picture of the living room doesn't really show how room it is. We were pleasantly surprised at how much room there was.

Cute little cabin in the woods
The property is just as described by the listing with all the necessities (pack your own bathroom essentials such as shower gel/shampoo though) and comfort. The location is about 30 minutes drive to Bar Harbor, the island’s commercial center, however the local town (Southwest Harbor) is very quaint, and has great restaurants and bakeries. The Common Good Soup Kitchen serves very good popover on the mornings of Friday - Sunday! Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster is just couple of minutes drive away from the cottage, and has very good lobster dishes. All in all, we had a wonderful time in Acadia National Park, and this house certainly contributed to the experience.

The Perfect Stay
This was my in-laws’ first trip to Maine and we wanted the experience to be as cozy and enjoyable as possible. This beautiful home was the perfect place for us to stay. The kitchen is huge and well-stocked with all the tools we needed to prepare several meals during our stay. The beds are comfortable and having two bathrooms was a huge time saver. Oh, and laundry! That was great. We were all able to pack a little less since we knew we could do a load. The living room is very welcoming and we enjoyed eating our meals at the dining table. At night, the fire pit was peaceful with the accompanying trickle from the frog pond to help us wind down from a busy day of exploring. The location down the street from the Seawall is perfect. My husband and I enjoyed running along it each morning, and one evening we took a sunset stroll with my in-laws as well. It was gorgeous. The proximity to Bar Harbor is great. It’s not too close that you’re in the busy mix but close enough that it’s truly just a short drive. And the drive is so nice: lots of handy little shops along the way as well as scenic. Our dog also loved playing fetch out in the yard. It was the perfect stay and we’ll definitely be booking again. I’d love to bring my parents next!

Lovely home on MDI
Our first trip to the Acadia National Park area in Maine was even better due to the incredible home we booked. The location was perfect, the house had everything we needed for our week. The house is tucked in to a wonderful wooded neighborhood, close to Seawall beach and the magic of nature. After long days of hiking it was so nice to come back our home and relax outside at the fire pit and watch the deer, red squirrels, and incredible numbers of birds come and go. We definitely will stay here again! Thanks Amy, your home exceeded our expectations.

Cutest place ever!
The interior design was absolutely adorable. The outside space was well used and well loved by us! Lots of deer also lots of neighborhood cats lol Amy was amazing to work with. There were three or four discrepancies between the vrbo listing and the binder but nothing at all that was an unreasonable request. Very very simple check out instructions. absolutely loved it. Only mentioning it so you are not surprised! Highly recommend!
