About this property

The Modern Bar Harbor Ranch

The Bar Harbor Ranch: nestled in an evergreen forest adjacent to a main road, this spacious modern house is conveniently located right on the head of the island and less than 10 min. from Acadia National Park's Hulls Cove Visitor Center. The house was set up for large group social activities, with an open concept kitchen, 8 person bar/dining area and a cozy relaxation area by the indoor fireplace. With the ideal weather Acadia experiences, the property is perfect for outdoor family activities on the deck, front lawn or sitting around the fire pit.
Features include - Kitchen: With a propane oven and 4 burner stove top, large air fryer, an additional electric 4 burner stove top, coffee pot & Keurig, dish washer, full fridge, and more than all the essential cookware this kitchen allows guests to save money by eating in. Dining Area: With 7 bar seats and 8 kitchen table seats, sitting down to enjoy a home cooked meal has never been easier. Turn on the indoor propane fire place, connect to the bluetooth speaker system and let the good times roll! SMART TV'S IN EVERY ROOM! We know after a long day of hiking, sometimes the perfect evening consists of taking a hot shower, laying down and watching a movie with your loved ones. We have 4 smart tv's in the house including a large sectional "TV Room" so the whole family can gather together.
Lastly, spending time outside is a must in Acadia which is why we make sure outdoor activities are possible with an outdoor woodburning sauna, propane bbq grill, porch with table/umbrella/chairs and a fire pit for relaxing evenings with S'mores! We look forward to sharing our home with you, we love being here and we hope you do too!

The location was great. The house was very nice and worked very well for our family of 6 with 3 generations. The host was great. Daniel replied immediately to any questions I had. Our grandsons loved the theater room. The one thing that I would say could use improvement is the kitchen is somewhat oddly stocked with basic cooking tools and the cabinets and grill could use a cleaning. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time at the property. It close to the park and the town. Only downside is that it’s off of busy road. We enjoyed the home theater and sauna!

Perfect Bar Harbor Getaway

The house is quite roomy and conveniently located 20 minutes from downtown. Only 5 minutes to the airport! It has everything you need and the patio seating is nicely shaded throughout the entire day! Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Acadia getaway

This house was perfect for our group of 8 (4 adults/4 kids). We were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots/pans, utensil, Tupperware, etc. The location was great for exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor! We would love to stay here again!

Glad we stayed here!

The house was lovely and centrally located to all our hiking and restaurant destinations. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. We also enjoyed the deck at the end of each day. The layout of the house is wonderful and this will suit families.

Would stay again!

My family and friends had a lot of fun staying here. Wish we actually had more time to use the sauna and the movie theater. The kitchen also had any spices you'd think of! The one personal downside was the beds are 3-4 on the firmness scale but other than that, no complaints!

Great place for Bar Harbor/Acadia

This is a roomy, remodeled home about 15 minutes from Bar Harbor/Acadia. Well-equipped and clean. Located less than a mile from The Traveling Lobster (eat here). We ran out of time but would like to come back again.

Enjoyed our stay, used the fire pit and back deck a good bit. A lil drive to everything which we knew before arriving. There was a little road noise during the day but zero issue at night. Had fun with the chickens that came to visit :)

Wonderful family gettaway

We had a wonderful time! More room than anticipated, providing an opportunity for 2 adults to work remotely as they couldn't take off the time. One of the most well stocked kitchens in terms of condiments and spices, another great surprise! Very nice host. Was excited about their being a puzzle! Lots of extras. Would definitely rent again!

Head of the Island

Property was great and good for couples or families. Everthying you need is included for a lobster bake at home or just sitting on the deck and relaxing. Although not located in the town of Bar Harbor- it is just minutes to everything Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park has to offer! Fresh Lobster from local fisherman is just a 1 minute drive over the Trenton bridge. I stayed at this property since it was close to family who live in Town Hill and don't have enough space for guests, so it worked out well! I will definately be back for more stays!
