Bring your family and friends and enjoy 56 Kebo House. 56 Kebo House is uniquely situated on the side of a hill overlooking the ocean, and a short 5 minute walk to all downtown amenities and the National Park. 56 Kebo is one of the closest homes in Bar Harbor to Acadia. Trailheads to Cadillac and Dorr Mountains, the iconic Jesup Path Boardwalk, and the Park Loop Road are a short 5 minute walk. Additionally, you can easily hop on you bike and be on the loop road or downtown in less than two minutes.

Perched on the hillside, 56 Kebo House has a large front lawn that overlooks the ocean. It is incredibly peaceful and private.

56 Kebo House is about celebrating family and friends. The house was designed to be a place where people can come together to enjoy each other’s company while visiting our amazing town and island. With the house, we are trying to recreate our fond childhood memories vacationing with our loved ones.

Each bedroom has a queen bed, the full bath features a glass walk in shower. The half bath is clad in cedar and reminiscent of Maine cottages. A pack and play is available.

This was the perfect place for our family of 5 while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park! We had everything we needed and especially enjoyed the view of the water from the chairs in the front yard. Having our morning coffee there was amazing! And the games in the garage were a bonus. We highly recommend this property if you are visiting the area!

About the host

Hosted by Desiree Sirois

Host profile image
We are a local year round family who loves our island and community, and is so excited to share it with you.

When we are not rental hosts, you will find us teaching outdoor recreation, education, health, and coaching cross country at the local high school, and operating a local small business in Ellsworth, called Restaurant Barn. (Come check us out, we are across from Pat’s Pizza and have lots of fun cooking and eating equipment!)

We use the park everyday, for outdoor adventures big and small. Whether it is a hike up Dorr Mountain, a bike ride around Eagle Lake, or a kayak paddle on Long Pond.

We hope you enjoy the town and area as much as we do. There is so much to offer, hiking, biking, kayaking, nature tours, dining, shopping, entertainment, and so much more!

Cheers!
Desiree and Jeremiah

Why they chose this property

This property has it all. We purchased the property because it is what we would want in a vacation rental.

On the edge of town. It is quiet, yet walkable to everything. The edge of the park, you don't have to get into your car to go hiking biking, and exploring.

The large lawn for lounging, running and playing. The Yurt which we saw as a great bunkhouse for our kids! The garage flex space. We love the idea of sitting at the table enjoying meals and games on a summer evening, or playing ping pong after dinner.

It evokes so many great memories and happy feelings.

What makes this property unique

The 16 foot yurt that sleeps 6.
The large 2 car garage that serves as a flex space, outdoor dining, and game area.
Walk to both town and the National Park.
