We lightly used the property as we enjoy so many of the local restaurants. The location was perfect for us to enjoy the fun of Bar Harbor. The spacious rooms with many gathering areas would work especially well for a multi-generational family vacation. Having a laundry was helpful. The porches were wonderful for unwinding in the evening or a sunrise cup of coffee. This is a great place. I would recommend it.

This beautiful home is clean, well-appointed, and in a perfect location to explore Bar Harbor and Acadia. The living spaces are very comfortable, the kitchen is perfect to preparing meals, and the covered porch is perfect for reading with a glass of wine. We loved the walking-distance proximity to the grocery store and to downtown, while being far enough from the crowds that we still had peace and quiet. We also enjoyed being extremely close to Acadia for cycling and hiking. One bonus we enjoyed was being so near the land bridge to Bar Island, and being able to walk to the beach to watch the changes to the bay as the tides change. Truly a spectacular house, host, and place to visit!

Charming home perfectly situated to enjoy Bar Harbor, Acadia, MDI and the Schoodic Peninsula. We enjoyed walking 1/5 blocks to the low tide sandbar to Bar Island and about four blocks to Main Street to explore the village. The location is ideal to explore all aspects of Acadia, greatly appreciated for the sunrise trip to Cadillac Mountain. The home is comfortable and we enjoyed the wraparound porch for reading and socializing. Jeff is a responsive and informative host. We'll definitely stay here again the next time we are in Bar Harbor.

Bar Harbor Home

This is a really nice house on a quiet block right in Bar Harbor. It is a short walk to the center of town where there are restaurants, shops, bike and boat rentals, and shuttle buses. It is also a short drive to Acadia National Park. The house is clean, roomy and well-stocked. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again.

Perfect Location!

This house was in the perfect location for our trip to Acadia/Bar Harbor. The house was large and clean. It was perfect for 6 adults. There was lots of room to accommodate us. There was no key in the lock box upon our arrival but our host responded quickly and was in contact with us for the rest of the stay. Any questions were promptly answered. The large wrap around porch was one of the best features for our group gatherings. Would definitely stay here again!

Great house in midst of Bar Harbor, ME

The location was fantastic-within walking distance to everything; it was SO CLEAN; the rooms were spacious; older home and well maintained; bath towels were great; kitchen well stocked with tools; one suggestion to owner: get screens for all windows in each room for airflow without worry of bugs-some rooms do have screens, just not all; we'd certainly stay in this home again if in Bar Harbor.

Bar Harbor Getaway!

The house is in the perfect location in Bar Harbor, easy parking for two car. Everything in Bar Harbor is within easy walking distance. The house is just a few minutes drive from the entrance to Acadia National Park. The house has great appliances, some re-usable bags for groceries and good pots and pans, plus some things in the pantry. We could have used some more directions on the thermostat (we were staying in late October) Jeff was super responsive when we needed anything and I can’t imagine a better location! Fantastic stay and experience!

Perfect

The house is in the perfect location! You can walk to shops and restaurants. At the end of the street is an area where you can walk to an island during low tide. It brings lots of tourists. The house was super clean. The bedrooms perfect size. The kitchen was large and modern. The only thing that could of been clearer was the location of the key to get in- other then that is was just perfect! Thank you for an amazing week!

Great location for Bar Harbor

This lovely old home was great for our group of 4. The location is fantastic, walk to everything. Beds are comfortable, plenty of linens. It did however lack some basic kitchen utensils, e.g. only one bread knife, no other sharp knives. A few more kitchen utensils would help for those who wish to cook and eat at home. Having one of the two bathrooms downstairs was a little inconvenient during the night, especially as the staircase is very steep! Overall we enjoyed our stay.
