Absolutely wonderful
Beautiful, comfortable house. Everything you need. Short walk to Shore Path, restaurants, shops. Perfect location: walking distance to everything, but in a peaceful neighborhood away from the crowds. In short, one of the best VRBO experiences I've ever had.

Repeat stay
Stayed at Avery Skye last year and liked it so much we booked it again this year. Perfect location so we could walk to town and get in and out of the park very easily. Jacqueline is a fantastic host and her house is well stocked-even had a cake server for an impromptu birthday cake we bought. We loved all of the games and puzzles too.

Loved every moment
The home was perfect. Jacqueline was so responsive to any questions we had. The house was stocked with all the essentials and she thought of everything. We were so close to Acadia We had coffee on the front porch every morning and walked down the path to bar harbor before most were awake. The back yard was relaxing and all in all it was a wonderful vacation for all.

Fantastic!
Perfect location and beautiful home. Everything we could have wanted was provided. Wonderful kitchen, spacious bedrooms and lovely backyard and porch. Great home base to explore Acadia and beyond. Host was great for communication. Would definitely stay again if we are fortunate enough to be in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Jacqueline Smith

Host profile image
I live in the neighborhood with my family and I was raised in Bar Harbor. I love to travel, I'm an avid hiker, and my husband owns and manages a local restaurant.

Why they chose this property

I always admired this house (I live in the neighborhood) and I am thrilled to provide it as the kind of vacation rental property I would seek, if I were visiting Acadia National Park.

What makes this property unique

The Shore Path is just around the corner and the Sunday Farmers' Market is on the end of the next street. The entrance to Acadia National Park's 'Loop Road' is south of the cottage, including Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, and the east side hiking trails.
