About this property

The Art Nook — Renovated 2BR in the Heart of Downtown Bar Harbor

  • (This property is registered with the Town of Bar Harbor, License #VR2R26-295) (Please note, during the summer weeks and based on availability, we prefer a weekly rental with a 7 night minimum stay. All other stays have a minimum four nights per town rules.)

    THE ART NOOK

    Located on Cottage Street in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor, the Art Nook puts you within easy walking distance of virtually everything Bar Harbor has to offer. You'll have your own off-street parking space, allowing you to park your car when you arrive and enjoy the convenience of walking to restaurants, shops, the waterfront and many of Bar Harbor's attractions.
    The Art Nook comfortably accommodates up to four guests with two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed, and two full bathrooms with tub/showers.

    The second-floor apartment has been thoughtfully renovated and decorated, with original artwork throughout. The spacious living area provides a comfortable place to relax after a day of exploring, while the modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need to prepare meals at home. The apartment also includes a laundry room, high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV and cable TV, Smart Lock entry, and full air conditioning.

    WALK EVERYWHERE

    One of the best things about staying at the Art Nook is that you can park your car when you arrive and walk almost everywhere. Restaurants, shops, the Village Green and the Shore Path are all within an easy walk, and the Island Explorer is nearby for exploring Acadia National Park without having to move your car.

    The grocery store is only a block away, along with bicycle, kayak and motor-scooter rentals. Bar Island, part of Acadia National Park, is also just a short walk away. At low tide, you can walk across the exposed sandbar and hike Bar Island for beautiful views of Bar Harbor. Be sure to check the tide schedule and allow plenty of time to return before the tide comes back in.

    EXPLORE ACADIA NATIONAL PARK

    The free seasonal Island Explorer bus can be reached at the Village Green, making it easy to explore Acadia without having to drive everywhere. The Island Explorer provides access to many popular destinations throughout Acadia, including Cadillac Mountain and Sand Beach.
    If golf is your thing, historic Kebo Valley Golf Club is also nearby. Established in 1888, Kebo is the oldest golf club in Maine and the eighth-oldest in the United States, and is open to public play.

    A COMFORTABLE DOWNTOWN RETREAT

    After a day of exploring Acadia, come back to a bright, comfortable and beautifully decorated apartment right in the heart of Bar Harbor. Our guests consistently mention the exceptional location, cleanliness, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable living space and convenience of being able to walk everywhere. Several guests have told us they barely moved their car during their stay—and that's exactly the experience we hope to provide.

    Come stay at The Art Nook and enjoy the best of Bar Harbor right outside your door!

We could not have asked for a better experience. From prompt communication with the property manager, to arriving to the property to find it clean with everything in working order, this property was fantastic. What really stood out about this property was it's convenient location. It was within walking distance of everything you'd need including restaurants, gas stations, retail, the ocean and Land Bridge and a grocery store that was basically across the street. We went at the end of July, peak tourist season, and having a place to park was invaluable. I expected someone to steal the spot during the week but to my amazement, we had zero issues parking in our reserved spot. Thank you for a great experience!

Loved the property. It was clean and modern and for us, perfectly situated to restaurants and Acadia National Park. We were there 4 nights but it actually wasn’t enough time to do the park justice.Lots of nice walks around town too!

Great location & Comfortable Space

The location is walking distance to everything fun in Bar Harbor so you can pop in and out throughout the day! The reserved parking spot is a huge bonus so you can park it, not worry about downtown Bar Harbor parking, and walk places. Really nice space to regroup and relax in the living room/dining area after a fun day of exploring. Additional bonus was the keypad entry so our family could split up and go back and forth without having to worry about a guy.

So great!!

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay here more! This place was a gem. It was walking distance to everything downtown, with big beautiful windows looking out over the strip. It’s a single unit above an office, so it was very quiet. It was very big, very clean and had everything we needed. We are already talking about taking another trip to Bar Harbor, and we will definitely be booking this unit again!

Feels like homw

It is very clean location is perfect. Everything is walkable. The only thing i would highly suggest and it is a MUST please invest a black out draperies. It would help for the renters to sleep a little longer also it helps cut down the noise outside. Mae June 2024

Fantastic location!! Walk to everything!

Wow! Such a fantastic stay at this loft. Perfect location in downtown Bar Harbor. 5-7 min walk to all restaurants, shops, and pier. 10-12 min drive into Acadia Nat Park. The loft was spotless and so nice and cozy. Beds were super comfy! Each bedroom has its own attached bathroom with bath/shower. Spacious kitchen and dining area. Fast WiFi. Washer/dryer was a great perk! Host was very responsive to texts and Vrbo messages and even provided a high chair for our 9 month old! Parking space right outside the door. 10/10 would stay here again!!

Wonderful!

This apartment was perfect for our first trip to Bar Harbor! The apartment was very clean, well maintained, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed! We found the beds comfortable and there was plenty of room for 4 adults to relax after a day at Acadia. It was right on a main street and we could walk to restaurants, shops, grocery, and bike rental. Perfect for exploring Bar Harbor. Bobby was wonderful to work with. He was responsive to my questions and checked in with us to see how we were doing. He also went above and beyond the call of duty to mail something to us that we left behind! Thank you!

Outstanding location!

The apartment is located on the main drag of Bar Harbor. It’s across the street from the local grocery store and within walking distance to all the great shops and restaurants. A 15 min drive to Acadia too. The town filled up in the evenings with summer tourists and it was nice not to have to battle for parking. Parking was onsite! Easy communication with the property manager. And there were no issues so just friendly check ins. Apt is fully stocked and the washing machine/ dryer was fantastic! My teen boys got pretty dirty in Acadia. Enjoyed the quaint town parade from our front windows on the 4th of July! We’ll be back! Excellent stay!

Stay here!!

My family almost never repeats a vacation and usually stays at rental properties. This was our best experience yet. The property is perfectly located. Maybe a 3-4 minute walk to the center of town. The included parking spot was key as parking in bar harbor can be an adventure. Aside from location, the property was exactly as described and very spacious. It was hot and humid the week we were there and we would spend our days hiking in Acadia. Having this nice apartment to come back to at the end of a long day was fantastic. The property manager Bobby was very responsive and checked in on us. We never needed anything because the place was perfect, but I knew he was readily available for anything if we did need him. We had a fantastic vacation here.

ArtNook

Our stay at the ArtNook was outstanding! The property manager, Bobby, was also outstanding. He was always available, and communicated well, making sure we had everything needed. We stayed with friends. The apartment was well equipped, clean, modern, very comfortable, and walking distance to everything in Bell Harbor. Bobby gave us suggestions on things to do, places to go, and restaurants to dine. We did almost everything he suggested, and he nailed it on every suggestion. Everything he recommended was outstanding. We had a perfect vacation, and hope to return to the ArtNook. The only thing we could suggest to improve the apartment, and this is really minor, is that it would be nice to have a full length mirror. Thanks again, Bobby!
