A short walking away is Parsons Lobsters, one of the best fresh seafood providers on the island, selling lobsters and other seafood caught by local fishermen from the shores of Acadia.

Spacious parking area allows for 3 cars to park on-premises in front of the covered front entry porch.

    The main level of the house offers an entry hall leading to an open kitchen/dining area with a slider leading out to nice sized deck with mountain and seasonal views of Kebo Valley Golf Course.

Great stay in Bar Harbor

We enjoyed our stay in the home. Communication with owners was excellent. House was clean and had everything we needed. We did want to grill out one night so was disappointed there wasn’t a grill but it was not a big deal. The walk into town was not bad and the drive to Acadia was fast and easy. Great home and location.

Last minute end of summer vacation trip

Great house right outside Acadia Natl Park

We loved staying at this well appointed darling home with ideal location for exploring Acadia (3 min drive to the entrance) and a quick drive or half hour walk to charming downtown. Really appreciated the comfy beds, fresh new linens/blankets, and new appliances. Minor concern that there was no deadbolt on the front door or door to the basement that could be accessed by caretaker or owners, but neighborhood felt safe overall. Would definitely stay here again!

Family oriented vacation house

We just spent 5 days at this property with adults and 2 children, ages 1 and 3. Aside from the bedrooms being upstairs, everything was really great! Clean, well equipped, lots of room, easy to accommodate the age ranges and interests. Including a great washer and dryer in the downstairs and a piano in the "office" which is a second family room.

Acadia Hiking Vacation

There were 6 of us staying and it was a very clean and comfortable vacation home! We drove to Acadia everyday for hikes. It is conveniently located and close to the park and restaurants in Bar Harbor. It was a 20-30 min walk to downtown, so we drove some and walked some. We had fun at the Reels pizza place where you could watch a movie while eating pizza. It was a great vacation and the house had plenty of comfy beds, showers and space.

Great Christmas stay for extended family

We had a lovely stay at this house. The beds were comfortable. We had small children, and the rooms were quiet. The downstairs has a lot of space and separate living rooms for people to have quiet time. We cooked many meals, and the kitchen worked well. Jane was a great communicator, making everything so easy.

Our family of eight visited Bar Harbor for a long memorial day celebration. The home is well appointed with all of the amenities needed for a great vacation. Plenty of room to spread out and kitchen was well stocked. The location couldn’t be any better whether it be getting to town, Acadia, or all other points of interest. Neighborhood was very quiet plenty of parking in the front of the home for four cars. Host was very responsive to all questions and any issues that we had with the home. Would definitely stay at this home again, if in the area.

The property looks like it’s been recently updated. It’s also clean and has all the amenities. Check-in was easy. The location was great. We appreciated the umbrellas, washer/dryer, and extra blankets! (JFYI the bathtub was out of order). The only con is that there were A LOT of check out instructions and pre-cleaning to do (10 bullet points worth).

Fall Trip to Acadia

The house was very clean and well stocked. Jane was very accommodating and gave us access to the garage so we could store our bikes. Communication with Jane was excellent! The neighborhood is quiet even though the houses are spaced closely together. The house was located minutes from the park entrance and downtown Bar Harbor. We were even able to ride our bikes into the park in less than 10 minutes.

Bar Harbor family getaway

We were looking for a place for a final summer vacation before school starts and this place did not disappoint! Jane was very communicative and prompt, the house is very clean and more than enough space for 4 adults and 2 children. The kitchen is fully stocked including a lobster pot that we used. Parsons Lobster is about a 5min walk away. And the cute town of Bar Harbor is also in walking distance. This is the closes we have stayed to town and this house was exactly as described and reviewed by everyone else before us. I'm still dreaming of my vacation.
