Perfect for families and friends and set in an heirloom orchard on a quiet private lane in beautiful and historic little Hulls Cove. One and a half peaceful acres graced by historic apple trees, fragrant white pines, and crisp salt air. Welcome the day’s sunrise from all the upstairs bedroom windows as the sun rises over the water and the Porcupine islands.

Ceiling fans in all the bedrooms team with our cool summer nights for maximum sleeping comfort. Enjoy outdoor dining on the big grand piano shaped deck. Stroll two tenths of a mile down to the shore and discover bleached mussel shells, perfect little ringed rocks, a seagull feather, a bright gem of sea glass.

Its breathtaking mountain trails for hiking and its lovely lakes for swimming and canoeing. Busy Bar Harbor's shops and restaurants are only a few minutes’ drive away.

Fun house with huge yard. Lots of seating on patio and front deck. Wonderful location with Acadia Park very near, a couple of restaurants that are a walkable distance away and large rooms for plenty of space to spread out or find privacy.

Everything clean, beds comfortable. Kitchen fully equipped. Easy access to Acadia National Park. Owner quickly responsive to any questions I had. We loved also that it was quiet, a bit away from downtown Bar Harbor, with its traffic, etc.Only thing I'd change - filling the potholes on the "access" road.

We had a wonderful stay at the Orchard House in Bar Harbor! It was perfect for our family — spacious, comfortable, and just a short drive from both downtown and Acadia National Park. The setting was peaceful and scenic, and we especially loved watching the chickens, ducks, and even deer right on the property. A great mix of nature and convenience. Highly recommend.

The location of this home is fabulous for all activities around Bar Harbor. The home is very well stocked with spices, supplies, towels, night lights, etc. We loved seeing the turkeys and deer in the Apple Orchard every day. The home was super comfortable for eight adults. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.It would have been nice to have more than one key for 4 couples. The outside of the home and carpeting will benefit from some tender loving care.

This place is amazing! Spacious, clean, great location. You can cook all your meals in the very well-appointed kitchen. It’s close to Bar Harbor and Acadia, but is far enough away from the hustle to escape from the noise and activity of town. Patricia is a great host, and answered any questions quickly. All her small but special touches were so thoughtful and appreciated. Other hosts could learn a few things from her. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if we ever come back through Acadia, would absolutely stay here again. Absolutely recommend.

Wonderful House and Host!

My husband and two of our adult children with three grandchildren had a wonderful stay at the Orchard House. Tricia was a wonderful host who answered any questions I had before and during the trip. The house was large, bright and clean. We loved our stay and it is so close to Acadia, downtown Bar Harbor and some great places to eat. Our grandkids loved watching the ducks and chickens and walking around the yard. Tricia has thought of all the details, big and little and there was nothing we wished we had! We would 100% recommend this house!!!

Great stay!

Overall, terrific property and one I’d recommend to any family. Close proximity to Bar Harbor and sits in a quiet neighborhood tucked away from any noise. It’s a bit of a compound where there’s 3-4 houses that share the same driveway which is the only thing that makes it not completely private.

Our family enjoyed the house with a large yard and deck. The house provides great sleeping options and bathrooms. Every area of the house was wonderfully decorated. The owner was lovely and if needed she was there to help us with any questions or hiccups. Best yet, the location to the park and downtown Bar Harbor, was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Owner Patricia Ropp

Host profile image
The Orchard House, our home, began as a small photographers cottage down on the shore in Hulls Cove. Some time around the early 1900's the cottage was moved up to the orchard.

It escaped the Great Fire of Bar Harbor in 1947 but burned to the ground exactly 50 years later in 1997. We rebuilt the house, bigger this time because our family was growing and now the house's story has seen another change.

We look forward to welcoming guests to the Orchard House and for you to enjoy the house and its surroundings and become part of its story too.
