Our family has visited Bar Harbor often, and this was by far our favorite place that we’ve stayed. Loved being right on the shore path and close to town, but in a quiet and peaceful setting away from the crowds. The house is beautiful with lovely gardens, the beds are comfortable, and we had everything we could possibly need. Lauren was a great host and very responsive. We would love to come back!

House needs a good cleaning. Bathroom floors need mopping. Upstairs shower is clogged. When missing a dust pan and trying to use a broken vacuum, I reached out to host and this problem was quickly resolved. Thank you. Great Location. Easy parking. Wonderful to walk to town or ocean.so close to Acadia. Lovely that my dog can come. These things add a lot of value but the house itself isn’t great. It’s not a very comfortable house. The couches in living room are in dire need of replacement. We got stuck in one of them. Literally. Furniture layout very awkward in living room. Not enough seating for a group to have a conversation. Even though there is a sign on the front door, I forgot and fell right into the living room as there is a step as soon as you walk in. My bad but dangerous design. Some simple furniture updates and better cleaning would make this a no brainer.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the location, parking, proximity to town and Acadia, and that we could accommodate your dog. I'm sorry the house did not meet your expectations. We take pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness, and this is not the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate you letting us know about the vacuum and dustpan during your stay, which allowed us to address those issues promptly, and we'll be following up with our housekeeping team regarding the cleaning concerns you noted.

Could not recommend this higher. Absolutely beautiful location, so convenient for downtown, and also a very short walk to the beach. Beautiful home, and very welcoming host. Exactly as advertised, and would love to stay again given the opportunity. We absolutely were thrilled to take advantage of the fire pit one evening, wonderful for a cold November weekend!
