Bar Harbor View Cottage is the perfect place for your next trip to Maine. You will be delighted when you first see the stunning panoramic views of Acadia National Park and its mountains from our deck. Make sure you get up in time for sunrise as you'll be able to see it come up over Cadillac Mountain.
You'll be able to spot wildlife without even leaving your chair. You may see eagles, seals, dolphins, deer and moose. You can even take our kayaks across the bay to see seals up close and personal. The water near the cottage is teeming with mussels too.
Kids (of all ages) love the abundance of flat rocks along the shoreline that are perfect for skipping and the custom-built ping-pong table in the garage.
The cottage features four bedrooms which sleep nine, WiFi access, panoramic views, a well-stocked kitchen, a garage, ample parking, a ping-pong table, several kayaks, a gas grill and a gorgeous deck perfect for relaxing.
The main floor has the master king suite with adjoining bathroom, a second bedroom with a queen bed, kitchen, living room, dining area, den, laundry room and second bathroom. There is also an attached garage. The second floor offers two bedrooms. One has two twin beds and the other features a queen bed plus a twin bed.
We are about 16 miles from downtown Bar Harbor.

Great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors
I'm a repeat renter at this property which has all the amenities one could ask for and more.
Absolutely wonderful!
This home is lovely. It is right on the water, the sunrises from the deck are spectacular. It is convenient for trips to Acadia. The house is well stocked with supplies, and the people were lovely to deal with. We had a wonderful time. I would definitely use this home again. It is private, and tucked away, and yet very accessible to everything around. We were well pleased.
Great location for hiking and spending time with family
This location provided all that we needed for a week in Maine. Well equipped house and plenty of kayaks, vest, paddles to enjoy the water. Lobster Pound was a big hit on the restaurant front.
Fantastic Location
This was a great place to stay for our family of 9--six adults and three grandchildren. The ocean view was fantastic. We were not far from what we wanted to see and do, mainly hike in Acadia and drive to Campobello in Canada, about two hours away. (Remember your passports.) It's a beautiful area and the free tour or FDR's summer home was fun and interesting.
We hiked three different days in Acadia. The Cadillac Mountain drive was beautiful. Didn't make it to the very bottom of the gorge in Cadillac Mountain on our hike (some of us are 75), but we saw enough to satisfy us without leaving us totally exhausted. Plus, we couldn't keep up with the grandkids! The Desert Mountain trail was also beautiful with wonderful views.
The Bar Harbor house had plenty of rooms and beds for all. It was well equipped and lacked for nothing. An upstairs bathroom would have been nice, but the two downstairs were certainly ample. The kitchen was so well stocked we cooked a lot of our meals there, cutting down on eating expenses. We had to clean out the refrigerator before we left, thus we had to throw away almost new bottles of catsup, salad dressing, a half pound of butter, etc. I wish we could have left it for the next guests or someone else to use. We used the washer and dryer almost daily, and we all agreed we way overpacked.
Did one day of shopping in Ellsworth and Bar Harbor. Very touristy but fun. The carnivores in our group ate at different seafood places, enjoying lobster, clams, etc. I think Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound was one of their favorites. Pat's Pizza had a wonderful menu that satisfied all our dietary preferences. 86 This! in Ellsworth had wonderful wraps and burritos.
We lucked out with beautiful weather. The ocean was usually too rough for us to use the kayaks, but we did take one out for a short while one day. My son brought along a lot of fishing gear and bought a four or five day fishing license, but he really couldn't fish from where we were at, and as I said, the ocean was too rough to fish from a kayak. It really didn't matter because there were plenty of other things to do.
I highly recommend a stay at the Harbor View if you want a spectacular Maine experience. I can understand why some people go back year after year.
Perfect house and location for annual girl's trip September 2016
The cottage was exactly like it was listed plus the owners arranged for a week of fabulous weather for us (smile). Seven ladies were very comfortable in this spacious cottage. The kitchen offered abundant dinnerware and cookware. It was stocked with all the supplies needed to begin our week stay. We had coffee each morning on the large deck with comfortable chairs to enjoy the breathtaking view. The large dining room table provided the perfect place for our nightly board games or cards. All the beds were super for a great nights sleep after our full fun days.
The area attractions such as Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park kept us on the go. We rented bikes in Bar Harbor and rode on the Carriage Paths to Jordon's Pond for lunch and popovers on the lawn. (Highly recommended experience for scenery and cuisine) Several in our group voted that day the trip favorite. Hiking the Beehive Trail in Acadia National Park was a personal favorite but all the hikes were enjoyable. Bar Harbor is a fun town with lots of shops and dining opportunities. Massages at The Bar Harbor Inn Spa started our vacation week by relieving the stress from our long flight ---Montana, Idaho and South Dakota--- a long ways away.
Location and privacy of this property is suberb. The owners are very receptive to questions and suggested several books to read before our trip.
Great week vacation due to this awesome cottage and its amenities plus gorgeous area to explore.
Superb setting for family reunion vacation
Capacious house was perfect for our 12 family members to gather together yet find privacy when desired. View is unequaled--words fail to describe beauty. Great cooking/dining area for large gatherings, ping pong table a total delight for children of all ages, satellite TV for quieter moments, large open deck/porch for soaking up the views. Situated on water's edge affords easy, safe access to shore and to kayaks for the doers while offering perfect spectating for porch sitters. Access to nearby Acadia perfect for tourists and hikers/bikers and Bar Harbor goers. Only negative(?).....hard to leave to go home!
Map
Must get lobsters at least once from the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound. Enjoy dozens of hiking trails through Acadia National Park (easy to extremely challenging). Don't miss the popovers and strawberry jam at Jordan Pond House (but be prepared to wait for a table).
