Best rental in Bar Harbor!

This place offered everything we could have wanted and more. The location was perfect. We could walk to everything and was only 5 minutes from Acadia NP. The home itself was probably the best stocked rental we’ve ever stayed in. It had absolutely everything we could have wanted and more from kitchen to bathroom to grill etc. the pictures didn’t do the place justice. It is clean and updated And had more than enough room for our family to spread out. We loved it!

Bar Harbor House - supreme location

The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more. The proximity to Acadia was supreme. It was an easy walk to the grocery store, bike rental shops, the explorer bus and to Bar Harbor shops. A fun place for a getaway with friends.

Bar Harbor

Fabulous house; clean, quiet and very comfortable. Can walk to the harbor and see sunset and sunrise. Walk to Bar Island Path, grocery store, cute shops and restaurants. Acadia National Park is a short ride way. Can hike the south and north Bubbles, ride or hike up Cadillac Mountain, many hiking trails, visit Sand Beach, eat at Lobster Pound. Wonderful place. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location

We loved the house and proximity to both town and Acadia. The grocery is around the corner with reasonable prices. There are 2 bakeries and a french restaurant very close by and are delicious. The town green and the Harbor areas are a 5 min walk. We were traveling with myself and husband and 4 20’s kids and the house fit us perfectly.

Excellent rental

Overall very positive stay in Bar Harbor. The house was perfect for 2 couples. It was unfortunate that the stove had a broken knob that forced them to shut off the stove/gas but communications were very good on this problem. Property location is extremely convenient to the park and to downtown Bar Harbor (less than 3 blocks). We were also relieved that the park was open and the government shut down had been averted.

Fantastic Location

The location with close proximity to shopping and dining is the #1 reason we loved this property. Walking in Bar Harbor and not having to find parking was ideal.Additionally, it's very convenient to Acadia. The house is very well stocked with lots of bonus amenities like extra towels, linens, kitchen supplies, etc. There was more than enough space for our multi-generational family of 8. We often utilized the back deck area with the table for 6 plus Adirondack chairs while having breakfast and evening cocktails.

Cozy welcoming cottage -Great location!

This cozy cottage is very clean and thoughtfully equipped. The kitchen had everything you need and there was even a drawer for baby /toddler dishes, utensils. There were games, puzzles, books and toys for toddler through adults. There are beach towels and a cooler. Our family of 10 was very comfortable. The location is perfect -a quiet street within walking distance to restaurants, shops and the harbor. A trip to remember!

A little wedding in Bar Harbor

There were 11 people exactly at this wedding by the seawall, and, oddly enough, the dining room table could seat exactly that. (We moved the lovely desk in the foyer to the top of the table and the newlyweds sat there--and there was still lots of room to to move around!) Such a lovely home, with clean and pretty rooms. The bathrooms are so well arranged. The third floor has sets of twin beds, so it's better for children. The kitchen is well stocked (and yes, there is a lobster pot and claw crackers). And right in the center of Bar Harbor!
