About this property

Maine and Acadia National Park welcomes you!

Enjoy our quiet secluded location just a short drive from the town of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. A one bedroom, one bathroom efficiency apartment with its own private entrance. Our street is very quiet and off the Peggy Rockafeller farm and surrounded by mature oak and maple trees making for a very relaxing location. Deer and wild turkeys frequent our yard daily and a welcome addition to morning coffee on the patio, or in the hammock in the backyard! We welcome families and children! We are 6 miles from Bar Harbor’s shopping, restaurants and main attractions and an equal distance to the beautiful Somesville, Maine and western side of Acadia National Park. Easy, quick access to Eagle Lake Carriage Roads (4 miles) and Park Loop Road (5 miles) makes for easy access to the rest of Acadia National Park. We are a great resource for suggestions and planning your vacation in Bar Harbor and Acadia and look forward to you experiencing the best of our beautiful island!

Owners live on property with their family and two dogs. We share the mud room wall and give you the utmost privacy. Please note the bathroom has a beautiful bear claw tub to soak in and a shower attachment that can be tight for taller people. 6 foot men have had no problem but if a guest has mobility issues we want to be clear about this ahead of time (photos are included). The unit is upstairs so if you have coolers or any issues with carring luggage up a flight if stairs that would be a draw back. *Please note if you have previously stayed with us or see all the reviews about dogs, we are temporarily not dog friendly since we got a yorki puppy!

Nice time on Acadia

The place was very quiet and away from the busy Bar Harbor area. The location was awesome to the park and Southwest Harbor. The owners were very nice and had a lot of good recommendations for places to eat and great places to hike and bike.

Solo vacation in Acadia

Jennifer and Jeremy were wonderful and welcoming hosts. Jeremy provided a map with suggested hikes in Acadia to do and Jen told me about best places to eat outside Bar Harbor. The place was clean and cozy and just what I needed for a relaxing vacation.

Wonderful location

What a fantastic place to stay!! With how busy it gets in Bar Harbor it was amazing to be able to get out of the hustle and bustle. Great location for Acadia as well. Jen’s suggestions for trails and restaurants were spot on. We felt completely at home with everything we needed plus a back yard for our dog to run a bit. We would definitely stay here again!!

This is by far the greatest place I’ve found on VRBO. The pictures matched the apartment perfectly. There was a binder provided with food suggestions and hiking suggestions and it was spot on! There isn’t a thing we would change.

Cute little place close to Bar Harbor without the hustle bustle of downtown

Cute little place close to the National Park and Bar Harbor. Exactly as advertised. Loved the hammock in the backyard to sit and unwind after a day of hiking. Jennifer was very hospitable. We got a lot of great restaurant and hike ideas from the host. Note Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty at times.

Away from the crowds

This relaxing efficiency was exactly what we needed in Bar Harbor. We were minutes away from Acadia National Park and never had to deal with the crowds in Bar Harbor. The owners were very helpful in providing suggested hikes and carriage roads to explore as well as local restaurants. The space seemed larger than in the pictures, clean and comfortable. Loved our stay and would book again.

Bob and I loved staying in Jennifer's studio above the garage. From the separate entranceway to the newly finished kitchenette and bathroom, this efficiency apartment was full of charm and character. Jennifer was exceptionally pleasant and helpful in answering our questions about the local area.

geat blueberry muffins

We had a great stay in Bar Harbor. Jennifer and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. Jennifer and her daughter made us blueberry muffins one morning. The location is great. You are out of the noise of downtown Bar Harbor, but are within a short drive. The other communitites are equally close.

Charming place in the Maine Woods convenient to Bar Harbor

We were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations! The room was actually quite large, well equipped and attractively decorated. A private deck adjoined the entrance with a view of a grassy lawn and woods beyond. Contrary to another post, we were able to manage the stair with our luggage despite being in our late 70s+.

Great place- Exactly as described

This property was exactly as described. Excellent location for trips into Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Private setting, comfortable room with just enough kitchen options. We very much appreciated the welcome gift of coffee and blueberry jam (plus a bonus of some recently picked apples). My husband and I would definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Maine. Acadia, with the ocean and mountains, is absolutely gorgeous.

Great location close to Acadia and Bar Harbor

We had a lovely stay at the apartment. It was spacious, clean and inviting and close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We appreciated not having to fight traffic in Bar Harbor or search for a parking space after a day of hiking in the park. Jen's recommendations for hiking trails and local restaurants were great! The shower setup in a claw foot bathtub was unique and might prove difficult for those with mobility issues, though my 6' husband managed okay.

Lots of helpful info

The property owner works at a local Inn. So the welcome packet and local directory books provided are very helpful! As well as a well provided kitchenette. Biggest downside is anyone over 5' 9" will need to shower while on their knees.

Fun time

Nice location and a very pleasant host. The stairs would be too much for anyone in their late 70's. Great place for a dog as there was woods out back to walk them. One recommendation would be to have a mat that would stick down in the bathtub. Nice central place to get to the hikes in Acadia. We were blessed with nice weather also.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Owners live on property with their two children and yellow lab puppy. We live and work in Bar Harbor year round now after moving from Phoenix, Arizona in 2017. We're still adjusting to the winters but found the other three seasons to be nothing short of magical here!

Why they chose this property

After moving from the desert to Bar Harbor, we wanted to live in a place that was quiet and "felt like Maine." We found this home on the middle of the island, close to everything and yet still felt like a home in the country.

What makes this property unique

Our home is so convenient to all parts of the island, and not just Bar Harbor. Getting to anything on the island is easy and accessible. Our home is unique in that we live in a very quiet area where it's just as common to see wild turkey flocks come by as a neighbor drive by. Waking up to the sounds of the forest every morning, or the sun setting right outside the apartment window is really special. We have a small trail throughout our property for a relaxing stroll through the woods. And small children who love to welcome new guests to our home. We hike, run, bike and have really experienced much of what MDI has to offer and love giving suggestions for all sorts of activities, dining and experiences here. We provide a detailed list prior to arrival and always available for suggestions, backup plans or any planning help. We're here to help make your MDI and Acadia experience really special and memorable.
