Wonderful home

This property is as advertised. Wonderful location, 5-10 minute walk to Main Street and the waterfront. The neighborhood is very quiet. The home had all the amenities needed for 6 adults, for 5 days. Plenty of room too.

Sisters Vacation

As kids we vacationed in the Bar Harbor area but as adults we have never been back. Our planned 2020 trip was derailed by the Pandemic but our week in October 2023 more than made up for that disappointment. The house was comfortable and cozy. The house was perfect!

Great place to stay!!

We loved staying at the Parsonage!! We were very comfortable in this lovely home. Very clean and well stocked. The location was perfect for us to use the bus transportation at the Village Green. We would definitely like to rent here again.
