Great location -- walkable to almost everything in and around BH, but on a quiet side street. Enjoyed the house both as a base for excursions and to just sit and lounge when our itinerary slowed. Would definitely stay here again.

Location location location!!

Amazing location. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and harbor. The only reason I gave an overall 4 star rating is due to the fact that the bathroom on middle level didn't have a lock. Otherwise it was great house!

Family vacation to Bar Harbor

This home was the perfect location for walking any where around Bar Harbor. Even grocery store was within walking distance. Kitchen was very well stocked with all our cooking needs. Bedrooms were comfortable. Nice bathrooms. There were plenty of games for kid entertainment. Had a concern during our stay that the owner was quick to respond to and even followed up. Would definitely recommend this propert!

Some silverware was put in the drawer dirty. There were no clothes hangers in the closets. We were there for a wedding with tuxedos and formal gowns. VRBO host did not reply to this problem until the day before we left. Could not find any anywhere. Not impressed with VRBO; however. the house was as described. The location could not have been better.

Best rental in Bar Harbor!

This place offered everything we could have wanted and more. The location was perfect. We could walk to everything and was only 5 minutes from Acadia NP. The home itself was probably the best stocked rental we’ve ever stayed in. It had absolutely everything we could have wanted and more from kitchen to bathroom to grill etc. the pictures didn’t do the place justice. It is clean and updated And had more than enough room for our family to spread out. We loved it!

Lovely Week in Bar Harbor

We had a fantastic stay at this home. Great location that is quiet and just steps from town. Beautiful space that fit a number of adults well. Parking for more than 2 cars is difficult, but everything was basically perfect.

Glad you had a great stay, Anna. Curious, especially since we have nothing but 5 star reviews in the past, why you would mention you had such a great time and then only leave 4 stars? I’m not sure you understand how this works.

Bar Harbor House - supreme location

The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more. The proximity to Acadia was supreme. It was an easy walk to the grocery store, bike rental shops, the explorer bus and to Bar Harbor shops. A fun place for a getaway with friends.
