About this property

Intown Bar Harbor Home Owned by Local Family - Acadia Entrance Around the Corner

Bar Harbor House sits right on the edge of downtown, making it an easy 10‑minute walk to the village for shopping, dining, and waterfront access. The Acadia National Park entrance to Cadillac Mountain is just around the corner. Guests can reach Eagle Lake, Duck Brook, and Witch Hole Carriage Road within minutes. Eagle Lake Road truly lives up to the name, just look up to spot bald eagles or peregrine falcons soaring overhead or nesting nearby. The back field is a natural crossing for deer, turkeys, and other wildlife that wander through. Just across the street is Kebo Valley Golf Course, the 8th‑oldest golf course in the United States. Driveway parking for 2–3 vehicles will help you avoid searching for downtown spots and paying meter fees. Secure storage is available for bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, golf equipment, and more. Inside, a well‑organized brochure wall offers maps, local information, and up‑to‑date island activities to help you plan each day with ease. Avoiding congested Acadia Visitor Centers will save time and frustration! My family has lived on the island for six generations, and we love sharing the history, stories, and hidden secrets of Acadia. Close enough to enjoy everything yet tucked away in a peaceful family neighborhood. Bar Harbor House comfortably hosts up to eight guests and a special place to gather, relax, and make lasting memories. Our home is more than a place to stay, it is an opportunity to experience the true Bar Harbor way of life.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is a great house. Easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor and pretty close to Acadia. The property is clean as you can get! Did not disappoint. Debbie our host is readily available for any information you might need. Debbie has left plenty of information for local favorites and information about the surrounding area. We loved it!!

The Bar Harbor House was left spotless, cared for, and respected. These are the kind of guests every homeowner would welcome with wide open arms. As a property owner, I would recommend them as the best of the best. Interacting and sharing local information was fun. They brought us joy beyond words. Their appreciation of "little things" was special. They came as guests and left as friends who will not be forgotten.

Dawn and the other guests are best of the best. Any host would be absolutely amazed and thankful for them. When we walked into our home and it looked as though no one had even stayed there. Our house was perfectly cared for and respected. To share our love for Acadia and witness others enjoy the beauty is why we do what we do.. We welcome others and love hearing their stories and memories being made. Dawn and the others will always be welcomed as friends not "guests." People like this are truly changing the world by their actions. Thankful...

Deb and Dan’s place was terrific! Clean and comfortable and very spacious. Like the other reviewers and said, Deb was incredibly communicative and a pleasure. It felt like we were staying at a family member’s home, and that member was looking out for us the entire time. We arrived on my son’s 9th birthday and Deb and Dan had birthday balloons and treats waiting at the house. And it was conveniently located to both town and the Park. Highly recommend!!

Amy and her family will always be remembered as best of the best, ever. Any host would be absolutely amazed and thankful for them. If a host has an opportunity to rent to this family, open your door wide and say welcome and thank you at the same time. Our house was perfectly cared for and respected. To share our love for Acadia and witness others enjoy the beauty is why we do what we do. More than that was to hear the excitement in the voices of young children. I know in my heart the memories they made will never be forgotten. Amy, Alex, and the boys will always be welcomed as family, not just friends or guests. People like this are changing the world by their actions. Thankful...

Fantastically appointed and located vacation rental. The owners deserve more than five stars for their kindness, communication, attention to detail, local recommendations, home design and special touches. I’ve never before stayed in a vacation rental where everything you would want or need has been taken care of so you can relax and enjoy your vacation. All furnishings, appliances, and dishes are like brand new. Beds and linens are super comfy and luxurious. One of the cleanest properties I’ve ever stayed at. Please don’t hesitate to book this property.

Jeanne and her husband touched our hearts in so many ways. Hearing about their time on the Lulu, lobster boat allowed us to share their experience with new guests! Some say having a "rental" is work however with families like this it brings us joy. It is a special feeling to connect with "guests" that feel like they are your family. The way they engaged with us and so many other locals came so naturally. As hosts, we were able to share pieces of our local culture, and they shared their love for our home. Our home was respected, left amazingly clean, and cared. My husband mentioned we should have paid them for cleaning. Any host would be blessed to share their home with such wonderful people. If they return, they will not be considered "guests" they will always be remembered as best of the best. Thankful for people like this who are changing the world.

One of the best rental experiences that we've ever had. Deb was super responsive and thoughtful in all of her communication. She was in touch and available with any questions that we had. Easily the most well stocked rental we've ever been in. Recommend without reservation and we will be staying here again in the future. There were 5 of us and easily could've fit several more.

Andrew and his family were our first guests of the season and what a great way to start. The family was so engaged and easy to see they loved being on the island. They were so respectful of our house and will always be welcomed back not as guests but as new friends! It is very special to witness young families being together making new memories. Best of all and might sound silly but... the kids left a big thank you note in the guest book! Any hosting family would be thankful to have a family like the "G's!"

From the very beginning, communication with the host, Deb, was fantastic. We knew exactly what to expect before arrival, and the house lived up to expectations. The house was very clean, very well stocked with supplies, and there were plenty of tips for activities. The location was perfect. Just a few minutes to downtown Bar Harbor and a few minutes from Acadia National Park. Deb made sure that our stay was perfect, and we appreciated the small touches that helped with our stay. We were traveling with a 3-year-old, and there was a gate for the stairs, and even had a cute heart night light that our daughter loved. The house had plenty of room for our family, which was nice since the weather was less than ideal. If we have the opportunity to make it back to Maine, we would definitely stay here again.

Our appreciation for the "S" family cannot be adequately described in a review. They were best of the best and what every host hopes for! Our home was left spotless and they should have been the ones paid for cleaning! Their time was short and at times rain prevailed. They proceeded without complaints and I hope we can pay forward if they return. What a great family to start the 2026 season! My most special moment was finding a colored picture gifted to me by their young daughter. The child's gesture touched my heart and reminded me on how awesome it is to share our home. The family came as guests and will not be forgotten. They will always be welcomed and we are thankful...

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Suter

Host profile image
My family is native to Bar Harbor and is well known to local communities and surrounding islands. I am “on deck” for tips before you come, while here, and even after you leave! Guest access to owner can be incredibly valuable when deciding what to do, where to go, and make the most of your time. My friend Dan is a professional musician who performs at many popular local venues, both solo and with the Dan Lorey Band. I love being a host because it lets me share a place I care about with people who are excited to experience it. There is something genuinely rewarding about helping guests create new and lasting memories - family reunions, anniversaries, and first trips to Acadia! Welcoming people, offering local tips, and hearing what they enjoy most brings me joy. Hosting is not just about providing a house. It is about creating a peaceful, comfortable, thoughtful space where loved ones can enjoy being together. Welcoming guests helps keep me connected to my community and local happenings. I get to support local businesses, highlight the best of Bar Harbor, and share the pride I feel for Acadia. Every guest who leaves happy reminds me why I do it. Dan retired from Mount Desert Island Hospital as a Clinical Social Worker and supervisor. I am a proud Nurse of 50 years and caring for others comes naturally. Much of my career was spent at The Jackson Laboratory before I later developed a small consulting business, Smart Case Management Solutions, LLC. My clinical background includes Occupational Health Case Management related to Workers’ Compensation and disability.

Why they chose this property

The Bar Harbor House is part of a historic, close-knit neighborhood filled with families who have lived here for generations. This is the place that shaped me — where I ran around as a kid, where my grandparents built their lives, and where many of my relatives still live just down the road. My hope is that the next generations of my family will also be able to stay on the island and continue our story here.

What makes this property unique

Bar Harbor House is ideally located, just a 10‑minute walk to the village and only a half‑mile drive to the Cadillac Mountain entrance of Acadia National Park. You can walk into town without worrying about parking or being in Acadia within minutes. As a native island family, this is our home and we genuinely enjoy helping guests experience it the way locals know and love it. I am available from the time you book through your entire stay. Having a real person available that genuinely cares about your stay can make a world of difference. My brother's shop, Little Village Gifts is listed in Trip Advisors Top 10 Best Things to do in Bar Harbor! The house is fully stocked with essentials, including start‑up groceries, breakfast items, and a frozen meal to enjoy. Guests are all set, if they arrive late or prefer not to stop for groceries on the way. There is a fully stocked brochure wall with maps, local information, and island activities to help with plans and make reservations. Avoiding the crowds at Acadia Visitor Center is always a plus. What makes our home truly special is this... people arrive as guests and leave as new friends.
