About this property

1-BR apt 0.5-mile to Acadia National Park & 1-mile to downtown

This 1BR apt is centrally located for great hiking, dining, and golfing. Ravens' Perch sits atop our detached 2-car garage, with its own enclosed entrance and outside parking spaces. The apartment is pet-friendly and a standard pet fee of $50 is initiated when you check that you are bringing a pet when booking.

There are stairs leading up to the apartment, so guests must be comfortable and able to climb. The apartment has a studio feel, but does have a separate bedroom for privacy. There is a queen bed in the bedroom, and a futon in the living room. Wifi allows for Amazon and Apple tv streaming. The kitchen space is small, but well equipped for most needs, including an oven. The bathroom has a shower and a washer/dryer unit. The unit is cooled/heated by a heat pump, so there is air conditioning available in the warmer months.

There is a (very) small side yard space for your use only, with a charcoal grill and propane fire pit. We have two river kayaks (only safe for freshwater) that you are welcome to borrow, but you must have means of transporting them (we do have foam supports and straps for your rack if need be).

The location is great, being a short (~8 min) bike ride to Acadia National Park's network of carriage paths, and an easy walk to town (~10-15 mins) so you can avoid parking fees. The Island Explorer passes right by the property, which will take you all over the island for free. There is a local seafood shop (Parson's) 4 doors down that is great for cooking at home, and Kebo Golf Course is practically next door.

The perfect place!

We couldn’t have had a better experience! The apartment is clean and felt like home! It was fully stocked with kitchen tools, spices, bathroom and laundry necessities, as well as dog blankets, toys and bowls which we really appreciated for our little guy! So many cute details and it was the perfect place to relax after a long day of hiking/exploring! Great location to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We loved it, will be back in the future!

VRBO First Timer

Took a roadtrip to Maine with my son and his dog. Although my son had visited previously, this was my first visit to Maine, and my first time using VRBO. The rental was lovely, and the location was excellent. Close proximity to both Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor Village. Rental was a one bedroom/one bath, with futon in the common area. The owners thought of everything - fully equipped kitchen & bath (including towels) pet supplies. It was early in the season, so easy to find parking in the Village. I understand it gets pretty crowded once the tourist season ramps up, so location is an advantage, since rental is walking distance to the Village. All in all, this was an enjoyable stay.

Gateway to Acadia national Park

The entrance to Acadia national Park is just 1/2 mile away and it’s an easy walk into town so you don’t need to park your car, everything in the unit you would need, very well stocked kitchen and amenities, you will lack for nothing :-)

Acadia base

The Perch rocked it as a base camp for the two of us. So inviting, great location, and well thought out by Jen. When we wished we had brought a few things, like hot cocoa or a cooler bag, we simply looked around and discovered how prepared our hosts were even when we failed. Sweet Acadia stay!

Perfect Dog Friendly Apartment

We love staying here with our pup. It is the perfect location to explore Acadia national Park and an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor. The place had all the amenities needed. We even cooked at home one night super spotless. Includes washer and dryer and some nice welcome snacks we would definitely come back.

Great location in Bar Harbor

We had a great time staying here. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. The owners were very eay to work with and very welcoming. It is a great location to Bar Harbor and to Acadia. We could hike in the morning and easily come back for lunch and a quick rest before continuing our adventures for the day. It was a great place to stay.
