3BR- Walk or Bike to Acadia! [Carpenters Quarters]
Carpenter`s Quarters was owned by a well known beloved Carpenter in Seal Harbor for many decades. After his passing almost all wooden aspects of the home are still original pieces handcrafted by the original owner over his lifetime. The home embodies a classic Maine feel -- sit at the front porch and hear the silence & calming water from the Stanley Brook
-1min Drive / 10-12min Walk - Park Loop Rd Acadia National Park -2min Drive / 14min Walk - Seal Harbor Beach -14min Drive Bar Harbor Downtown
As you move about the home you will notice all of the handmade wooden items; every chair, dresser, table, cabinet, and bed frame were made by the original owner. The location of this home is perfect for people wanting to be super close to an entrance of Acadia National Park and is perfect for guests planning on riding bicycles in the park. The location is also super close and a 0.5mile walk down to Seal Harbor Beach which is always great to do with kids!

This property was in a great location to all that we wanted to do. It was clean and plenty room for 4 people. The stairs going up to bedrooms were pretty steep coming down at night to go to the bathroom late at night but they were doable. We enjoyed our stay.
It's a nice cozy home in the heart of Acadia. It wasn't far from any of the destinations we picked out, and despite being well below freezing the house had no issue staying warm. 100% would book this property again!
We loved the location of this charming cabin. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. Some of the amenities could have been upgraded (bath towels) and the inside lighting could be better. We enjoyed the outside seating area. Great location as a base for hiking in Acadia!
Lovely stay on a quiet street on the south side of Mount Desert island with a short, easy bike ride to Jordan Pond and the Carriage Roads. Stay here, and you can be opposite in rythym to the Bar Harbor crowds starting their day on the opposite side of the park. Option to catch the free, convenient park shuttle at Jordan Pond to get around.
Great location minutes from Acadia and Jordan Pond House on a quiet street. It’s a friendly, comfortable house. Well-equipped kitchen. With all bedrooms on upper floors and one bathroom on the lower floor, it’s worth noting the stairs are narrow and steep-ish, so not the best for people with mobility issues.
Overall, great experience. Host was great. House is in a great area. Easy to find, parking is perfect, quiet neighborhood. The house obviously needs updating. Every room feels like Grandma's house (there's good and bad to that). The stairs down could be treacherous in the middle of the night (no bathroom on bedroom floor).
This house has a great location close to Acadia Park. It has good bones but is very dated. Unfortunately, there is only AC in the bedrooms and most windows in the house do not have screens so you can’t get airflow without bugs invading the house, making for a very stuffy environment. The house was clean but not incredibly comfortable. That said, the location helped as we spent most of our time outdoors in the amazing park.
