The house was perfect for our traveling group. The location was quiet yet close to everything going on in town and the entrance to the park. We loved the kitchen and relaxing in the living room as a group. The bedrooms were comfortable. Having 3 full bathrooms was a plus to get everyone ready for the day.

Our extended family had the most wonderful time at The Orchard House! We so enjoyed eating home cooked meals around the large table, watching the girls play in the orchard and exploring Acadia/Bar Harbor! The home is clean, well cared for, and the owner is delightful!

We had a wonderful stay at the Orchard House in Bar Harbor! It was perfect for our family — spacious, comfortable, and just a short drive from both downtown and Acadia National Park. The setting was peaceful and scenic, and we especially loved watching the chickens, ducks, and even deer right on the property. A great mix of nature and convenience. Highly recommend.

Everything clean, beds comfortable. Kitchen fully equipped. Easy access to Acadia National Park. Owner quickly responsive to any questions I had. We loved also that it was quiet, a bit away from downtown Bar Harbor, with its traffic, etc.Only thing I'd change - filling the potholes on the "access" road.

Great stay!

Overall, terrific property and one I’d recommend to any family. Close proximity to Bar Harbor and sits in a quiet neighborhood tucked away from any noise. It’s a bit of a compound where there’s 3-4 houses that share the same driveway which is the only thing that makes it not completely private.

Wonderful home base for a week exploring Acadia and Mt Desert Island as a family reunion

What a nice place to stay. All the items we needed, large and small. We played cards at night at the big table, easily cooked meals, had easy access to Acadia, Bar Harbor and other fun places. Beds and bathrooms were great. Spacious, attractive, comfortable, clean, owners quick to respond.

The location of this home is fabulous for all activities around Bar Harbor. The home is very well stocked with spices, supplies, towels, night lights, etc. We loved seeing the turkeys and deer in the Apple Orchard every day. The home was super comfortable for eight adults. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.It would have been nice to have more than one key for 4 couples. The outside of the home and carpeting will benefit from some tender loving care.

Maine stay

Our family enjoyed the house with a large yard and deck. The house provides great sleeping options and bathrooms. Every area of the house was wonderfully decorated. The owner was lovely and if needed she was there to help us with any questions or hiccups. Best yet, the location to the park and downtown Bar Harbor, was perfect.

This place is amazing! Spacious, clean, great location. You can cook all your meals in the very well-appointed kitchen. It’s close to Bar Harbor and Acadia, but is far enough away from the hustle to escape from the noise and activity of town. Patricia is a great host, and answered any questions quickly. All her small but special touches were so thoughtful and appreciated. Other hosts could learn a few things from her. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if we ever come back through Acadia, would absolutely stay here again. Absolutely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Owner Patricia Ropp

Host profile image
The Orchard House, our home, began as a small photographers cottage down on the shore in Hulls Cove. Some time around the early 1900's the cottage was moved up to the orchard.

It escaped the Great Fire of Bar Harbor in 1947 but burned to the ground exactly 50 years later in 1997. We rebuilt the house, bigger this time because our family was growing and now the house's story has seen another change.

We look forward to welcoming guests to the Orchard House and for you to enjoy the house and its surroundings and become part of its story too.
