About this property

La Maisonette - Historic Renovated 6 BR Downtown Bar Harbor Home

''''La Maisonette'', circa 1886, is a beautiful 3,400 square foot, 6 bedroom home in downtown Bar Harbor nestled within Bar Harbor?s national historic district with a view of Frenchman's Bay and a beautiful 1/2 acre back yard.

Located on West Street, you are a short stroll to restaurants, shops, bike and kayaking rentals in the downtown area. Acadia National Park is just minutes away by car or rent a bike and walk to the shuttle in downtown Bar Harbor which will take you into the park to spend a day riding the Carriage Trail.

At low tide, walk around the corner and enjoy the unique experience of crossing a sand bar to Bar Island or simply walk along the sand bar collecting shells and photographing the spectacular views.

With its shingle style architecture, La Maisonette offers charm and character with high ceilings, detailed woodwork, a staircase tower, a solarium and fireplaces.


La Maisonette is fully furnished and offers a wrap around enclosed porch that provides a brief view of the ocean, 6 bedrooms that sleep 12, 3 full and one partial bathroom, WiFi, and HD TV, we believe it offers everything you need to enjoy a wonderful Bar Harbor vacation.

The location is outstanding. Family members enjoyed short walks to shopping and dining areas. It was convenient to catch shuttles to Acadia Park. We all enjoyed the nearby land bridge several times. A great house for our 10 family members. The front porch was enjoyed mornings and evenings.

Great for Multiple Family Event in Bar Harbor

Excellent location and spacious historic house for multiple famlies to stay. Well-supplied kitchen for large group meals. Parking in the driveway for three large vehicles was wonderful since street parking and traffic is so busy in Bar Harbor. Our host made sure we enjoyed a quality experience.

The house was fabulous, with lots of space and historic charm. It is on a beautiful street in downtown Bar Harbor and you can even see the water from the front porch! It was easy to walk down to the restaurants and shops, and a short drive to Acadia. The hosts were responsive. Definitely recommend La Maisonette!

Incredible, spacious, and comfortable stay

This house is ideally located, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Not one but two kitchens, an expansive living space, and ample beds for all. The bathrooms are a bit cramped but that is where I have to admit I'm nitpicking because it's a gorgeous, and gorgeously kept, house. Highly recommended for large groups.

Great Old House

We loved our stay. Perfect location. Grand old house with its quirks but this comes with an old house. We thought it was relatively clean, comfortable, and nice. We would stay there again. If you are looking for a pristine, modern, upscale type of place this is not it but if you can appreciate this old house you will love your stay.

Wonderful Week in a perfect location

Our family of 12 (ages 66 - 2) enjoyed our stay. Perfect location! Short drive to Acadia NP. Walking distance to Bar Harbor restaurants, sand bar, shopping and grocery store. Never needed to deal with parking! House is old, but we knew that when we booked it. Wonderful week.

Needs better maintenance at a great location

Great location but cobwebs, moldy showers, burned out lightbulbs, and a non-working and dirty oven put a damper on a premium-priced experience.

Everything We Had Hoped For !

This beautiful historic home was all that we had hoped for - perfect location, comfortable and clean, and very well stocked. Our only disappointment was the grill, which was ok for hot dogs, but needing to be repaired. That said, everything else about the house we loved !!

Even better the second time.

This is a great property in a great location. Easy access to downtown, the park, and shopping. The house is well equipped and has plenty of room for a large group, we had four adult couples and two small children. This was our second stay, the last one four years ago, and we noticed the owner has made investments to upgrade the property, redone bathrooms, new gas grill and fresh paint. It was a great property before and it got better. We’ll be back.

perfect for a family gathering

We had 12 in our family party- family members ranging from 20 to 55 with significant others stayed. The property is an older property with a lot of character. It easily held the 12 of us. Location was AMAZING! We were directly across from the sand bar connecting the harbor to Bar Island. Steps from all down town locations. Close as can be to Acadia Park. The supermarket is directly behind the house. It was perfect!

Amazing stay in Bar Harbor - wonderful family vacation location!

Our extended family of 7 (3 generations) had an amazing time! What a wonderful home - plenty of room, clean, comfortable, and the location couldn't be better! Steps away from the walk across the low tide bar to the island, super close to lots of shops and restaurants, easy walk to the grocery store. The 5 year olds loved playing hide and seek in this incredible house with lots of great hiding places! Also we loved reading on the front porch - great place for bedtime stories for the kids! Lots of games -- they had such fun learning to play croquet! Kitchen was very well equipped and spacious! Great to have parking too. All communications were easy with prompt responses. We loved La Maisonette and hope to return! What a beautiful part of the country - we had such fun exploring!
