About this property

The "Nook" - Pond Side Cottage in Bar Harbor

The Nook was converted in the 80s partially using a shed first built on the property in the 1920s. While inside the unit you can see the roof of the original Nook where the bedroom now resides. The kitchen area is small but has everything you need to cook!

**The mattress was changed to a new one in 2023 based on reviews from previous years saying it was uncomfortable**
