We absolutely loved our stay. Beautiful view. Lots of room.If you like a softer bed, you might want to bring or buy egg shell mattress toppers. Perfect location. Close to Acadia and stores. Would definitely stay again.

You can’t get any closer to the water! The sun rises were beautiful! We saw a set of eagles every day. We saw seals, deer, turkeys, and lots of birds! Great location to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Even if the weather was cold or rainy you could still sit inside and watch the ocean! Very private and quiet! The colors were awesome when we were there as well! Had a great time!

We had an amazing time at this house! Kitchen was fully stocked with all of the cooking utensils you could think of! The beds were comfortable and showers were nice with plenty of hot water. The views were breathtaking and the peace and quiet on the back deck was fabulous! We loved using the fireplace in the evening, such a cozy living room with the fire! One thing to mention, there are 3 full bathrooms but they are all on the main floor. There is no bathroom upstairs which did not impact our trip but you may want to plan accordingly when booking. We would definitely stay here again!

The house faces the ocean, it's right on the beach, and the views are superb. The house has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped, and has many useful supplies such as herbs, pantry staples etc. Overall, it's a great place to stay for an extended family or for a vacationing group of friends. Highly recommended.

This property was wonderful. It was clean, bright and right on the water. There were a pair of eagles who would come every morning during low tide and wait on the rocks on the beach to feed. We saw deer in the woods along the driveway to the house. They have everything you need to cook for lots of people. Lots of blankets for the beds and being able to open all the windows was wonderful with the breeze coming off the ocean. We used the kayaks every day and all the kids loved it. We would love to stay in this house again. You will not be disappointed by what this house offers.

We had a wonderful stay at Bar Harbor View Cottage. The property truly lives up to its name, the views were absolutely stunning and made our trip even more memorable.The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. It felt welcoming right away and made it easy to settle in and relax.One of the biggest highlights was the location. It’s incredibly convenient to Acadia National Park, which made exploring the area simple and stress-free.Overall, this was a fantastic rental experience. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Bar Harbor area.
