Amy’s place was the perfect relaxing spot on the quiet side of Acadia. We loved the comfy beds and proximity to Wonderland Trail, Bass Lighthouse, and Charlotte’s lobster pound. Across from Charlotte’s was a perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the water, away from the Cadillac Mountain crowds.

This is such a serene property. It was clean, quiet, and so relaxing. We even got to see about 20 deer through the window. It’s not super close to a lot of restaurants but definitely a restful getaway!

I stayed at Stepping Stone last year and decided to stay for two weeks this year. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with deer frequently visiting. It’s a very clean and comfortable home. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking or there are local places to eat out. There is a fire pit conveniently located just off the deck for roasting marshmallows. I love the Southwest Harbor location and I would definitely stay at Amy’s home again!
