Bar Harbor Village Green Hideaway! A few feet from shops, restaurants, movies.
Glorious sunny rooms. Beautiful colors. Sky lights. Spectacular spa quality designer shower. This is your home away from home right in the center of the hustle and bustle that's Bar Harbor during the summer season. While others circle the town looking for that elusive parking spot, you slip quietly into your own spacious three car accommodation, a few yards from the center of town, across from the Village Green where every night is a summer festival. Don't feel like making breakfast? Delicious blueberry pancakes await right across the courtyard at Cafe This Way where regulars return for scrumptious breakfasts and legendary dinners. Then stroll along the garden, turn right and check out the shops, something for every taste and every budget. Go for a scenic cruise around the island, see a whale, hop aboard a four masted schooner, eat some lobsters, swim in pristine lakes or brave the ocean, hike the trails, bike the carriage roads. Welcome!

Hidden gem in downtown Bar Harbor minutes from the all the shops and restaurants and the Island Explorer. The house was extremely clean with easy check-in and check-out. The bowl of fruit, cheese and wine the host left for us was a much appreciated touch. This was our second time renting this property and hopefully won't be our last.
My family of 4 had an amazing week in the house. So central for walking around town and getting out to Acadia for hikes. We loved the ability to disconnect while away, it was an amazing house for family time!
Anne is very responsive with any inquiries during your stay. Can't beat the location. You won't need your car unless driving to Acadia or other parts of the Island. You can walk to EVERYTHING in Bar Harbor. Cant wait till our next trip back to the Hideaway.
Great location, responsive and helpful host. Very enjoyable stay.
The unit we stayed in (3) was great. It is located in the heart of Bar Harbor making all of the town center easily walkable. The location also has private parking which is great. The unit is comfortable and had everything we needed. The host is really nice, accessible and helpful.
This property had plenty of room and a wonderful location. We were able to catch the buses right across the street, walk to the tour boats and walk to great restaurants. There was a problem with the shower but the owner got plumbers in and solved the issue.
Staying in the heart of town with easy access to Acadia, via the Island Explorer or bike. Perfect hideaway to return & relax after a day out in the park, then walk in town for dinner or evening treat.
This house is amazing and then some. It is located downtown which is a real blessing.Parking in Bar Harbor is impossible. Right across the street is a breakfast and lunch cafe. Ann’s home is warm and inviting and has everything you could want and it is spotlessly clean. Thank you for sharing Ann.
The Hideaway was the perfect Bar Harbor stay. Walkable to the entire downtown area, yet private. The home is bright, beautiful and has the best equipped kitchen of any VRBO I have stayed in. Ann is a wonderful host- responsive and thoughtful- including a loveliest welcome basket.

Wonderful location!
A cozy and inviting home in a prefect location. Right in the heart of Bar Harbor. We had a wonderful time. Can’t wait to return!
The hideaway is just that, a hidden gem in the best location. Ann is a wonderful host, with clear directions and a welcome basket full of yummy goodies. The house is spacious and clean, with a delightful courtyard to sit outside and rest even while close to downtown. We were close enough to hear the live music downtown but not go anywhere if we wanted. Easy walk to the shuttles and downtown harbor. Ann is delightful and joy-filled, and is a treasure as much as the space is!
We had the best time at this hideaway downtown - everything was so close, but once in the house it was peaceful and felt secluded. Beds were comfortable, we LOVED the step-in shower, and the washer and dryer were really convenient. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. We loved it and would 100% stay here again!
Excellent location! Loved the house and shower was awesome and having a washer and dryer was so convenient. Ann was wonderful enough to leave a very lovely welcome basket. Cafe This Way excellent as well. I would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much Ann!
House was very nice and well kept. Host was very easy to work with and made our stay feel like home. Location is great to access just about anything in Bar Harbor or go to Acadia National Park. Driveway is tricky since it is next to a couple of restaurants and people were standing in line. Enjoyed our stay!
The Hideaway was wonderful! The house was immaculate and in the center of town, yet quiet and peaceful, the kitchen was equipped with everything you would ever need including sharp knives! We had a wonderful week!
Another great week in Bar Harbor and ANP and this property met our needs. The location was perfect for pre-hiking breakfast and for catching the shuttle bus. The location was also perfect for post hiking happy hours, dinner and shopping. It had everything we needed and it was comfortable and clean.

Loved every moment
Great little gem in awesone location. Weather was nice and warm in late May. Recommend the sunrise on Mt Cadillac.
Great host..Thank you Ann
We found this property very convenient with it's location so close to town while we also appreciated Ann being completely available for any of our questions and needs. The house was able to meet the needs of my wife and 2 year old, my son loved the giant walk in shower and the 3 town parks with in a few blocks. This is the 5th house I have rented on Desert Island and by and far Ann was nicest owner I have had the pleasure to rent from!
The property is exactly as described. It is very convenient to the Acadia buses/park as well as to the many restaurants and shops that Bar Harbor has. Ann is an excellent host, we enjoyed the house, patio, and convenience of the property. Thank you Ann.
Had a great stay! The photos do not do the property justice. It was very spacious and bright and the outdoor area was beautiful. Well equipped kitchen and the location was fantastic and walking distance to everything in town. Our favorite hikes in the park were a short 5 minute drive. Had we stayed later in the season the Island Explorer would have been a great option and would have been a short walk up the driveway. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
The house was impeccably clean when we showed up and there was the nicest welcome basket and note. We felt at home right away and found the gathering spaces great for curling up and spending time together. The most amazing part of the property though was the location. It managed to be quiet enough to relax and still be just steps from the excitement of Bar Harbor. To be able to walk out into the bustle of the shops/restaurants and then retreat within minutes was unique and fantastic. For our family there wouldn’t have been a better place to stay in town.
