Accommodations in Southwest Harbor
Amy and I were Maine the other week and took a short driving tour of snowy Southwest Harbor, so guests could get at least a tiny sense of where they were staying. We started south of the town at the fork in the road off towards Manset and the Seawall Motel. The other two accommodations that aren't shown on this video are the Island House and The Birches. The former, by the way, is booked up, but the latter looks like a really nice to stay, if (relatively) remote from the others. In the video we pass the Harbor View Motel, the Captain Bennett House, the Kingsleigh Inn, the Inn at Southwest, the Cafe Drydock & Inn, the Harbor Cottage Inn, and end just below the Claremont Hotel.
Below is a little map of where we went. For more detail look at our Maine Map. Note that there's a marker on this map for the Upper Town Dock, which is where the charter boat is currently scheduled to leave. (There are other docks, however, including the Coast Guard and Beale's docks, which I mention in the video as being possible points of departure. Those two are farther out on the point.)
