Fabulous location
5/5 Hidden Elm is a beautiful, spacious house that perfectly accommodated our seven adults and one toddler. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants and nature. Easy access to Acadia and under 30 minutes to other scenic parts of the island. So many lovely features at the house, and a well-stocked kitchen made cooking fun. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Beautiful House in Great Location
5/5 House was perfect for a good sized group. Main bedroom is on the opposite side of the house from the other bedrooms, which is perfect if one couple goes to bed earlier than everyone else or has light sleepers. Kitchen was great and well stocked. Yard is beautiful. Porches are perfect for eating outside or just hanging out. Location is great. Right near the center of Southwest Harbor but still quiet when you're actually at the house. Farmers' Market and Craft Fair are less than a five minute walk away on weekends in summertime. Awesome place!

Beautiful property and great hosts
5/5 Our entire family (including Oliver the Cairn Terrier) thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Our granddaughter left a toy behind and they were kind enough to find it and return it

Lovely old house, not so quiet
2/5 We were initially very happy with our stay at Mike and Libby’s, until they had their fencing contractor come at 7 am and do extremely noisy work until 10:30. If you are looking for quiet, I would highly recommend contacting the host in advance. Also, there seems to be some kind of basketball camp adjacent to the property, so be prepared for the sound of kids and bouncing balls. It’s a charming old, tastefully decorated house, but in the heart of southwest harbor. Consider these factors if you’re looking for rest and relaxation. We probably wouldn’t have chosen it knowing about the noise level.

Manager's Response:
Hi Hannah, we always appreciate honest and constructive feedback, but after talking with the homeowner, we'd like to clarify the following points:
- We own the neighboring property and the fence needed a small repair. The fencing company arrived at 7 a.m. and didn't start work until 8 a.m., as required by law. The repair was completed quickly in about 2.5 hours. We addressed our guests' concerns, personally apologizing for the unexpected noise.
- There are no additional repairs or projects planned for the properties.
- Please be aware that our listing includes a map showing that this property is located in the heart of Southwest Harbor, but we apologize that this caught you off guard
- The sounds of children playing and other village life activities lend to the area's charm and vibrant community. We encourage travelers to research the area before booking, to decide if it's in their preferred location.
As is evidenced by the many great reviews, these owners are accustomed to providing memorable experiences, and we look forward to this property hosting many happy travelers.
