Great Place in quiet neighborhood

This house was well represented by the pictures in the listing and very comfy for two couples. Owners were very responsive to questions. We cooked in a couple nights, used the grill, and enjoyed cocktails on the deck. Do note, that while this 3-bedroom sleeps 6, the living room only has comfy seating for 4 to relax after a long day of hiking. The other 2 would need to sit on the bar stools if all 6 wanted to be together to chat. There is seating for 6 in the dining room. It was about a 10 min walk to the village green where we caught the free Island explorer shuttle bus. There are folks there to help you find the right bus to your destination. It was also about a 10 min walk to the end of the waterfront Shore Path. You can follow this scenic path right into downtown Bar Harbor. Truly enjoyed our time here exploring Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park.

Perfect for our trip

Perfect location, walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor. Kind of quirky and fun, with lots of eclectic art and decorations in an old house, but it had all the right updates (kitchen and bathrooms) to make it feel like it was contemporary. I was able to do laundry and store bikes in the basement. It was well stocked in the bathrooms and kitchen — while we didn’t end up doing much cooking, the kitchen seemed to have everything you’d need. If you have young kids, beware that the bathroom sinks are high — might need a step stool. Mattresses were comfy, but best for people that like them soft. The owners left us alone, but were readily available if we needed them. Having a great home base made for a fantastic family trip with our teenagers.
