We loved our stay here! This home was in the perfect spot for our needs and was exactly as described. It is pet friendly to large dogs, extremely close to a beautiful walking trail along the water, restaurants, and the (free, pet-friendly) bus stop to get into Acadia National Park. We loved exploring the area and can't wait to make it back.

Host was responsive. House was close to everything we were there for….shopping, restaurants and Acadia. The driveway was a tight fit for our F150, but other than that we had no issues.

This charming house was perfect. It had everything we needed and it was clean and very comfortable. The house is located on a quiet street. We were able to walk to downtown Bar Harbor with no problems from the house. We were also able to walk the shore path from this house as well. Not having to park downtown was worth its weight in gold. The house has a one vehicle off street parking spot. Which makes parking stress free. The house is very close to Acadia National Park entrances. It was easy to get out and enjoy the park early in the morning come back to the house during the day and go back and enjoy the park later in the evening.

Toni and I agree. Our dog loves when we stay in our home in Bar Harbor. I believe she cries sometimes when we leave. Glad you had a relaxing time.

Hi Nancy, I always enjoy getting to know our guests, even if only by phone. It is a pleasure to me that you and your family could have a taste of Bar Harbor for the first time AND spend some time together as well. I'm glad we discussed some highlights of the area before your arrival and hope that was helpful. Let me know what we need to do to earn that fifth star in your rating! I hope it wasn't the weather - we can't control that :) Herb and Toni

Comfortable retreat in a perfect location!

The home was very comfortable to stay in, felt like our own. The location was perfect for walking into the adorable town, to local hiking spots or catching the great Explorer bus to fabulous hiking trails. We would definitely stay there again.

Wow, you nailed it. Bar Harbor parking requires a permit or payment. The easy walk to everywhere in town is something we enjoy as well. Plus the free bus service during the summer to the rest of the island. Please visit again.

Nice vintage cottage house. Reminded me of my grandma's house. Everything was clean with all the amenities. Enjoyed the closeness to downtown Bar Harbor and enjoyed that we could walk the harbor walk and end up on the street of the cottage.

Just got back from our annual trip and we're already looking forward to staying there again next year. We are very grateful to the owners for providing us with the opportunity to stay in their wonderful little cottage. We just love staying here because of the convenient in-town location (walk to everything), cozy space, and of course, great hosts. See you next year! Thank you!!
