Ledgelawn Cottage, a nineteenth century home on Bar Harbor's historic Ledgelawn Avenue, is steps from all the attractions of downtown and a few minutes from Acadia National Park. Stroll to the village green, fine restaurants and quaint specialty shops, theaters, the Abbe Museum, Shore Path, free Island Explorer bus, tennis courts, skateboard park, playground, and Sunday farmer's market. Two park entrances are a few minutes' drive away. We comfortably accommodate up to eight guests in this welcoming spacious home, decorated with a blend of new and antique furnishings. The house offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, and numerous indoor and outdoor spaces for gathering with friends and family.
Enter the house through the large enclosed front porch with ample seating, the perfect spot to relax and plan the day's adventures. Once inside the central entrance hall, you will see the spacious living room to the left, with ample seating and television. To the right is the reading room, with local maps and travel guides, and shelves of books for children and adults. Beyond the reading room is the sun-filled dining room with seating for eight, and games and puzzles in the corner china cabinet.
Across the hall from the dining room is the large, fully stocked kitchen blending antique charm with modern amenities. Every effort ha been made to ensure that guests have all they need to prepare meals for both indoor and outdoor dining. Spices and condiments, paper goods, foils and wraps, trash bags, sponges, dish and hand soap, and of course lobster pots, are all provided.
The first floor provides a powder room, and along a sunny hallway there is a laundry room with washer and dryer, laundry detergent, ironing board and iron. There is a separate shower room with a large walk-in shower, shelves holding fluffy towels, soap and hair dryer.
A t the rear of the house, a few steps lead down to the charming patio room. Surrounded by antique glass windows and featuring a brick floor, this large space has comfortable outdoor furniture for relaxing, as well as a table with dining chairs and a cooling ceiling paddle fan. Just outside the back door is the gas grill, and two picnic tables are placed in the shade across the big back yard.
The second floor has four spacious comfortable bedrooms with a range of bed sizes. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed. There is a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a room with a double brass four-poster, and a room with two twin beds. A pack-and-play and a wooden toddler bed are also provided.

A skylit full bath with shower tub, towels, hairdryer and soap completes the second floor.

Home Away From Home

We try to visit ANP at least every other year and like to stay right in Bar Harbor. This was our first time staying at this location but depending on availability it won’t be our last. Seven adults stayed comfortably here with large bedrooms, enough bathrooms and plenty of room to prepare meals, eat, play games and relax. We especially loved relaxing on the front porch after a busy morning of hiking before we walked into town to explore the many restaurants and shops.

The house is a very charming old house. Bedrooms were very spacious with plenty of storage to unpack clothes. Master bedroom bed was very comfortable, but the queen and double bed weren’t very comfortable. It was great that every room has a standing fan for help with cooling, but also white noise. The location was great for walking to downtown to restaurants and shopping, and also close access to Acadia. The front porch was a nice place to hang out later in the day after sun went down. The kitchen was very well stocked with spices, oils, dishes- literally most everything you need but hate to buy for a short stay. It was nice not to have to buy salt, paper towels, tissues etc.All in all, this is a great place. My only “issue” with staying here was the checkout procedures. We had to do more than any other Vrbo I have stayed in. Most tell you to take out the trash and start dishwasher. There were extra steps to take before we left. It’s a lot to ask, esp when trying to leave early morning to catch flights! Even with the extra check out procedures, it was still a lovely stay in a charming house. If I ever came to this area again, I would definitely consider staying here again.

Fall family vacation

We had a wonderful stay here for our fall family vacation. The home has plenty of space for families and little ones, comfy beds, and a well equipped kitchen. Lots of useful maps/brochures of town, a cute little “library” reading area (with even a thoughtful kids library). The location is perfect for walking into downtown restaurants and shops. All very walkable. Julie was a friendly, helpful and responsive host. We highly recommend booking!

We took a girls trip to Bar Harbor to celebrate our 60th birthdays. The location of this home was perfect. Quick walk to restaurants and harbor. The host is very responsive and provides a charming home with lots of character. We enjoyed our stay. Be sure to read the guest book as there are great recommendations for restaurants. 15 minute drive to Acadia National Park.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time at our Vrbo. The house is within walking distance to town. We walked in every morning for coffee. The yard is spacious and plenty of rooms for sleeping. There were adequate accommodations for children, including a high chair and toddler, which we greatly appreciated. Our host was responsive and gracious when we had any concerns.

Fantastic property, close to everything in Town

The house was absolutely fantastic and has everything you could possibly need for a stay with family or friends! Its proximity to downtown Bar Harbor is great - easily walkable for late nights or shopping trips. Plenty of parking on the street. And Julie was fantastic! She even helped with suggestions for our rehearsal dinner party and responded to emails/texts immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Clean, walkable home

We loved our two-week stay in Bar Harbor. This home was extremely clean and fit all of us very well. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed, and the two porches were wonderful. Our boys enjoyed the backyard so much, and we made use of the grill several times. Walkability was absolutely perfect for not only going into town for restaurants, but also access to the shore path, farmer's market, and playground.
