Great large house - comfortable beds large kitchen space - walkable to town - water views - for not use outdoor space- but great house for fun weekend of hiking and touring Bar Harbor!
My family and I had a wonderful vacation at La Maisonette. The house is lovely, spacious, well appointed and extremely comfortable and has everything needed for a large family vacation. I highly recommend this beautiful property. It made our family vacation so very memorable.
The house was perfect for our family trip to Maine! Everything was clean and comfortable. We were close to restaurants, shops, Acadia National Park and so many activities. The kids loved playing in the backyard too. A perfect stay!
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.
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!
This house was nice and large for an extended family. The porch was a great place to hang out in the morning and there was plenty of space for the kids to keep busy and have fun.
The house had everything. I would book this again in a second.

Great location
Great location. Lotta of room and charm. Make sure to understand no air conditioning - which on most days makes no difference. Would happily stay again.
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.
We really enjoyed our stay here and the location was great! Lovely porch to hang out on in mornings and evenings. Great kitchen. We bikied into Acadia from our house with our kids, very close to the carriage Trails. We would stay here again!

So glad you loved it. The porch is one of my favorite places. We would love to have you back!
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.
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.

I wish this renter had let me know his concerns when they arose and I would have addressed them immediately. Our housekeepers take great pride in maintaining our home and would have come out straight away had they known. We were unaware the oven was not working as previous tenants had not reported any issues. We have already addressed it. We do keep light bulbs in the house in case they go out and would have let you know where or sent someone to replace if given the chance.
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 !!

Thanks for letting us know about the grill. We will check it out immediately and have it repaired and/or replace it.
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.
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!
