My husband and I spent three wonderful nights over Labor Day weekend at the Deck House at Pier One. As previously stated it is a studio cottage with a huge deck. This is not a fancy place but had everything necessary for a great vacation. The deck is out over the water and just sitting there looking at the working harbor was extremely relaxing.
We had arranged for three nights there and three in Boothbay Harbor in a lovely B&B, but we really wished that we had spent the entire time at the Deck House. We will definitely return.

Thank you! The two bedroom condo that we rented was fantastic and very accomindating. We had guest come and sty and we never flet like we were on top of each other. Beautiful views of Southwest Harbor and Arcadi Natioal Park. We could not have picked a better week for our vaction.

We look forward to coming back to Southwest Harbor agin soon.

My husband and I loved our six nights at the "Deck House" at Pier One. The one-room cabin is next to Pier One suites but has its own private deck. It is lovely and comfortable for two persons, away from the tourist centers of the island. Staying there, however, we had the advantage of being close to Acadia National Park, the tidepools of Seawall, rental sails, and good coffee shops and lunch spots (Sips and Pita-to-Go) and restaurants (be sure to try the Red Sky Restaurant--and, of course, Beal's Lobster Pound nearby). We also very much enjoyed watching the tides come and go as we ate breakfasts, lunch, and dinners on our deck. The furnished kitchenette had a full stove with oven, refrigerator, and microwave for "self-catering". The Pier One wireless internet connection is available at the Deck House, although you need to be on the deck to pick up a strong signal. The hosts Don and Javier are welcoming and helpful, while allowing an appropriate level of privacy during the stay. I have difficulty adequately describing the restful beauty of this quiet spot on Southwest Harbor. We highly recommend the Deck House or, if you have a larger party and need more room, one of the Pier One Suites.

We were looking for a place to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. We always wanted to see the Maine coastline and feast on "lobster". This was the place. It's location allowed us to spend many exiciting hours in Acadia National Park. Pier One was also centrally located to other interesting sites such as Bass Harbor, Wonderland, Ships Harbor and others.
