Tilia Retreat is a lovely cottage located in the village of Manset (just a few miles from downtown Southwest Harbor). Built in the 1920s, the Mansard-style cottage is right now being lovingly renovated/restored by family members. Named for the two Tilia trees that adorn the front yard, Tilia Retreat enjoys a natural setting in a peaceful residential area.

Its comfortable yard will offer badminton to guests as well as outdoor dining. And it's just a few miles from Seawall, a popular attraction of Acadia.
