The house was warm and welcoming, was very clean and the amenities were great! The communication with the hosts was exceptional. The house was in a great location. It was very walkable and close to the park too! We would definitely stay at this property again!
Great rental. Place was perfect - Very clean, really comfortable beds, house fully stocked. Location perfect with a 10 minute walk to downtown Bar Harbor but still quiet. Acadia just minutes away.
This house is beautiful! Very well stocked with kitchen supplies, including a large coffee maker as well as a Keurig. The living room area and several of the rooms also have TVs, and the upper floor bathroom is spacious enough for multiple people to get ready at once. The host was also SO helpful, offering loads of suggestions for things to do in the area! Would definitely stay here again!
Our stay was fantastic! In walking distance to Bar Harbor and close to Acadia and other restaurants outside of Bar Harbor. Neighborhood was quiet. The owner was very responsive. The house was clean, well stocked, beds were comfy. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!
Perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor! The location is ideal and the house is beautiful. Includes everything you need to cook and do laundry. We loved being able to eat outside. The owners were very helpful with lots of ideas for trip planning. It really needs more than 5 stars.
This property was perfect for our one week trip with our family. We brought our adult children with their spouses and our youngest who is twelve. The four bedrooms fit us perfectly. Having a kitchen for breakfast and the washer/dryer could not have been nicer especially with all the hiking we did. The location was great- quiet and a within walking distance to town.
Perfect house for family of 8 adults. The location is perfect, nice quiet street, easy walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor and also walking distance (about 1.5 mile walk) to Acadia National Park. The kitchen is well appointed; nice comfortable living room with good WiFi and large TV. Outside, nice area to sit with table and chairs. Robard was extremely responsive. I would definitely stay here again!!
The property was perfect for our stay. We felt very much at home. It had a very comfortable vibe. The location was perfect..walkable to manny restaurants and the village. Easy drive to the park or you could hop on a bus with the bus stop just yards away from the property. Highly recommend!
The home was exactly as described, very clean & organized, conveniently located for Bar Harbor walking access, and hosts were easy to communicate with.
We loved everything about this property. Great location, wonderfully appointed, easy to communicate with the host, comfortable, welcoming. Great place to stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house worked beautifully for our needs. We loved the central location. It was wonderful to be in walking distance of the harbor and town. The home was clean and a quiet location. The downstairs set up was especially conducive to spending time together. The recliners in the family room were appreciated after a day of trekking though Acadia. Thank you so much!
We had a wonderful stay in Bar Harbor! This rental home was very beautiful and had everything you could want or need. It is within walking distance to the shops, coffee, the waterfront and the grocery store. If it wasn’t for a few rainy, cold days, we probably would have walked everywhere! Absolutely loved it here!
We’ve stayed here many times and it’s always top notch. Everything is well kept up and clean. Great layout and all the little things are taken care of. Highly recommend!!!
This was a wonderful place and a perfect fit for our family trip to Bar Harbor. Twin bed room was perfect for our two youngest and decorated with little ones in mind. Location was amazing and within walking distance to most things in town. Working with Robard was great and he was very responsive to any questions or needs we had. Provided an amazing amount of information about the area which made our activity planning and stay much more efficient and smoother. Will definitely stay there again if travels take us back to Bar Harbor. A
This was a great home that my family stayed in for 6 nights

We moved to Maine in 2005 and have fallen in love with this beautiful State. From the crisp clean air, crystal clear lakes, majestic mountains, bold coast. We love being so close to Acadia National Park. We enjoy the outdoors and love to fish, hike, & eat good food. We have a passion for hosting. We work as one along with our cleaning crew, carpenters, plumbers, and electrician to provide beautiful & comfortable places to delight our guests!
All our properties are thoughtfully designed with guests’ comfort in mind.
We are always all ears from our guests for recommendations, as that’s how we grow to provide quality accommodations.

Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of its location, being in a quite dead end street but just a few blocks from the bicycle shop, restaurants, and stores. The house was old and we renovated the whole place (inside and out) to accommodate the needs of vacationing guests. We came to know our neighbors who are year round residents who are very pleasant. This is a plus as we do not have to worry about partying or loud neighbors.
What makes this property unique
We like this house because we were able to create our personal touches.
