About this property
1-BR apt 0.5-mile to Acadia National Park & 1-mile to downtown
This 1BR apt is centrally located for great hiking, dining, and golfing. Ravens' Perch sits atop our detached 2-car garage, with its own enclosed entrance and outside parking spaces. The apartment is pet-friendly and a standard pet fee of $50 is initiated when you check that you are bringing a pet when booking.
There are stairs leading up to the apartment, so guests must be comfortable and able to climb. The apartment has a studio feel, but does have a separate bedroom for privacy. There is a queen bed in the bedroom, and a futon in the living room. Wifi allows for Amazon and Apple tv streaming. The kitchen space is small, but well equipped for most needs, including an oven. The bathroom has a shower and a washer/dryer unit. The unit is cooled/heated by a heat pump, so there is air conditioning available in the warmer months.
There is a (very) small side yard space for your use only, with a charcoal grill and propane fire pit. We have two river kayaks (only safe for freshwater) that you are welcome to borrow, but you must have means of transporting them (we do have foam supports and straps for your rack if need be).
The location is great, being a short (~8 min) bike ride to Acadia National Park's network of carriage paths, and an easy walk to town (~10-15 mins) so you can avoid parking fees. The Island Explorer passes right by the property, which will take you all over the island for free. There is a local seafood shop (Parson's) 4 doors down that is great for cooking at home, and Kebo Golf Course is practically next door.

Great location to downtown bar harbor and Acadia park entrance. Property was very well equipped and clean. Owner was very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations of the area. Definitely would stay again if in the area.
We had a fantastic stay! The accommodations were so clean and comfortable, and really nicely decorated! The location was fantastic being so close to both the park and the town. We loved being able to walk into Bar Harbor!
Great location to both the park and Bar harbor (5 min drive to the park and 15 min walk to downtown) with parking! Clean place, would absolutely stay here again
This was the perfect spot to venture into Acadia each day and downtown to eat each night. 100% recommend, and I’ve never dealt with a more kind and helpful host!
This place is a gem. Great location and easily walkable into Bar Harbor. The apartment had all we needed and more. The hosts met us on arrival and were very helpful.
We would highly recommend this accommodation.
Great location close to town and the park. The apartment has everything you need and is very comfortable. Our dog Sergio loved the biscuits and paw print towels.
We had a great time staying here. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. The owners were very eay to work with and very welcoming. It is a great location to Bar Harbor and to Acadia. We could hike in the morning and easily come back for lunch and a quick rest before continuing our adventures for the day. It was a great place to stay.
We loved everything about Raven's Perch! Jenn was a fantastic host, the location was perfect, lodging was very comfy, and the kitchen was well-stocked! We cannot wait to return! Thank you, Jenn, for making our stay so memorable!
The entrance to Acadia national Park is just 1/2 mile away and it’s an easy walk into town so you don’t need to park your car, everything in the unit you would need, very well stocked kitchen and amenities, you will lack for nothing :-)
My girlfriend and I (and dog) enjoyed our stay at the “Raven’s Perch”. Everything was as advertised - clean, very well equipped and a great location for accessing downtown Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island. Our host, Jen, was very responsive. I would highly recommend this property!
Lovely little property and perfectly located for adventures in Bar Harbor and the national park! The hosts are very gracious and welcoming and took great care to ensure all little details were included with your stay- from the binder full of recommendations to the fully stocked bathroom with hygiene products, contact solution and anything else you could possibly need!
Enjoy your stay!!!
We love staying here with our pup. It is the perfect location to explore Acadia national Park and an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor. The place had all the amenities needed. We even cooked at home one night super spotless. Includes washer and dryer and some nice welcome snacks we would definitely come back.
Fantastic pet-friendly stay near Acadia and Bar Harbor
This was the perfect location, close to the town of Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia. It was only a 5-minute drive to the Cadillac mountain entrance which was great for watching the sunrise at the summit. Bar Harbor was a short drive (or a 15-20 minute walk). The space was very comfortable and was a great place to relax after long days of hiking. It was very quiet throughout our stay and a great home base for exploring Acadia.
The Perch rocked it as a base camp for the two of us. So inviting, great location, and well thought out by Jen. When we wished we had brought a few things, like hot cocoa or a cooler bag, we simply looked around and discovered how prepared our hosts were even when we failed. Sweet Acadia stay!
The apartment was modestly furnished but the host has thought of every amenity and we did not want for anything. Our stay was lovely and the location pefect. Jennifer was a great host, very kind and thoughtful. We enjoyed meeting them and greatly appreciate their hospitality!!
We absolutely loved our time at the Raven's Perch. Our host Jen created such a comfortable, well decorated space with lots of thoughtful amenities that were greatly appreciated. Really close to Cadillac Mt entrance and the proximity to the center of Bar Harbor was perfect - walkable for most or a very short drive. We spent a lot of time outside, but were always very happy to come back to the "Perch" where we felt right at home. :-)
Raven’s Perch was a perfect “nest” to explore Bar Harbor. It was an easy walk ti the town green for us to pick up the free LL Bean sponsored bus to tour Acadia. We hiked, explored, ate delicious food, swam, and landed every night to our cozy spot to unwind and prepare for the next day full of adventure. We enjoyed the little “ oasis” side yard to relax outside. Our stay was perfect in every way with great communication and every detail covered right down to great coffee in the unit and a cute welcome basket. A++ stay.
Raven’s Perch in Bar Harbor exceeded all expectations! As listed the space is only 1 mile to downtown and easily accessible to all Acadia National Park has to offer. Jen has done a terrific job furnishing the 2nd floor space with everything needed be it for a short or extended stay. The accommodation is new, fresh, appealing and quite comfortable. Jen was a wonderful, personable host who offered many options for places to see and things to do during our 3nite stay. Recommend the Bar Harbor Inn for a relaxing late lunch overlooking the beautiful Harbor, the Ocean Trail hike in Acadia and Beals Lobster Pier in Southwest Harbor for lobsters of any size, blackened scallops and a nice selection of wine and draft beers.
This was our first visit to Bar Harbor and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
We loved our time at Ravens Perch. Upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome basket with some goodies, a small gift, and a lovely note from our hosts (Jen & Gordon) which was a wonderful way to begin our stay. We noticed how perfectly appointed the apartment is. This cozy home away from home managed to have everything we could need. We enjoy eating out but love to cook in as well. Thanks to a well equipped kitchen, that even had spices you would typically need, our home cooked meals were full of flavor.
The coffee table book Jen put together made us feel like fast friends as we learned about our hosts. It was also filled with lots of recommendations from restaurants to navigating Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. She was also very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had.
We got to meet Jen on our last day as we were packing to leave and she was just a charming as her VRBO. We cannot wait to come back next year. Highest recommendations for anyone looking for a charming place to stay in Bar Harbor and around the corner from Acadia!

We had an amazing day! You cannot beat the location and all the amenities were perfect. We loved how dog-friendly everything was. And it was the perfect cozy stay during our trip to Acadia National Park.
Charming apartment, clean and well appointed, hosts have been thoughtful in providing all the things you need during a stay, very clear instructions and binder with lots of good suggestions, host very responsive with any questions or concerns. Central location in Acadia, walking distance to Bar Harbor restaurants and shops.
