We are perfectly located in quiet and lovely little Hulls Cove; less than a mile to Acadia National Park Visitor Center and the free Island Explorer shuttle, 2/10ths of a mile to the seashore, and 3 miles from Busy Bar Harbor's shops and restaurants.

Cider House Farm is a genuine treasure, a 19th. Century Maine farmhouse with a wonderful sense of history that has grown with its years. Wood beamed ceilings and pine floors blend seamlessly with modern conveniences and comforts.

Situated on one and a half peaceful acres at the end of a quiet private lane, there is lots of space to relax, watch sea gulls, inhale the wonderful mixed fragrance of pine needles and salty sea air or play outdoor games on the big lawns. It is a perfect house for large families, with room for everyone.

Neighboring Acadia National Park’s scenic carriage roads are unmatched for walking biking and horseback riding. Its breathtaking mountain trails for hiking and its lovely lakes for swimming and canoeing.

Our bed and bath linens are pure 100% cotton and only laundered with skin sensitive products. Soap, tissues, toilet paper and other necessities are to be found in each bathroom. Floor fans in all the bedrooms team with our cool summer nights for sleeping comfort.

A large living room, sunroom with hiking maps and local information, farm kitchen and two dining areas with seating for 17 offer plenty of room to be together or find some alone time.

The farmhouse kitchen has room for multiple cooks, and is fully stocked with cookware, useful spices, a lobster pot, dinnerware, glassware, and silverware. The large wrap around deck and patio offers loads of space for leisurely meals and grilling, the gas is provided.

Perfect house and location for our family vacation. Lots of room inside and out for us all to spread out. Everything we needed for the week was provided. We had no problems with anything in the house. We walked to the beach and restaurants a few times. Most of our time was spent in Acadia National Park, which was less than a mile away. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Great Week

Our family of 15 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cider House. The location was perfect. We experienced an unusual heat wave but, with windows opened and an abundance of fans we survived. The property was great for the kids to play outside or inside. Lots of room to spread out. Overall our stay was great.

Quiet Retreat

Secluded hide away with an old farmhouse layout. Put the grandparents in the downstairs bedroom, open all the windows and turn on all the fans to take advantage of cooler mornings. No one gets their own bathroom so be kind and keep your stuff in your room, but plenty of hot water and funky layout! Available laundry room upstairs is a great advantage to this property. Hulls Cove beach is a 10 min walk downhill. Lake Wood Pond is a 5 min drive for a quiet swimming hole. Great big breakfast area and deck and large well-appointed kitchen for family gatherings. Bring a yard game for playing on the lawn!

Relaxing Stay in Bar Harbor, ME

When looking for a place to house my LARGE family of 15 people, I came upon this listing. This home was perfect! Not only was it large enough for us to all to relax, eat and talk, but there was also enough beds for everyone and space to get away from each other when needed. It had all the charm and character of an old house, but with all the modern extras and was within walking distance of the water and just minutes from the park entrance. Trish was the perfect host, replying almost immediately when we had a question or came across a problem. We also appreciated all the extras that came with the home: all the paper products, soaps both for cleaning and in the bathrooms, enough fans in the bedrooms to help cool it down during our heat wave, and puzzles and games for the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The best family vacation EVER!

We are a very lucky family- 4 generations strong, and we get together for a week every summer. Our family has grown over the years, and this vacation at Cider House included all 15 of us! From our 3 yr old to the nearly 80 year olds, everyone had a wonderful time. From cooking and eating together (we are COOKS) to games on the lawn, to quiet evening chats, and music to dance to..roosters and chickens who visited, and a perfect location for all activities (we scoured the Park and shopped and ate in town!) Mom said it best- it’s a page from your favorite sweet summer novel. Our host was delightful, a true kind soul. We will carry the memories- some of us might not be able to make the trip again, but we have these special memories and moments to cherish! Thank you!

Magical Bar Harbor Farmhouse Ideal for Acadia Vacation!This magical, lovingly decorated and outfitted farmhouse with its curated collection of antique gardening tools and vintage furniture and decor welcomed our party of 13 (grandparents, parents, 20-somethings, and middle-school-aged children) with its custom-fit-for-us, comfortable 3 Kings, 3 Queens, 1 Full, and 3 twins as well as 4 well-stocked full bathrooms. The private location was quite near to Acadia National Park (technical climbs, Cadilac and Pemetic Mountains, Jordan Pond popovers, Sand Beach, a bald eagle, photogenic views), Bar Harbor (the land bridge, grocery store, Greek pizza place, Havana Restaurant, Thirsty Whale Tavern, and CJ’s Big Dipper ice cream/frozen yoghurt), and the Lobster Pound (hot or cold lobster rolls, lobster nachos, fish & chips, veggie tacos, grilled cheese, coleslaw) with its picnic tables and ice cream boat and nearby miniature golf. The living room welcomed home our exhausted early rising mountain climbers with deep, comfortable leather chairs, a table for jigsaw puzzles, and a reading nook. Our in-house Chef and Bartender served tempting concoctions, created in the bar nook and well-equipped kitchen, on three generously sized dining tables (also perfect for card games). Our scavenger hunt was to find 10 chickens and 10 pigs in the house’s decor. The smart XL washer/dryer allowed us to pack light for long air flights. We had perfect weather—no rain the entire week.
