About this property

Bar Harbor downtown suite features covered deck with waterview

Your suite is walkable to all of downtown yet has a large private deck for relaxing after a day in Acadia National Park. Acadia surrounds downtown Bar Harbor, and you can even see Bar Island from your suite.

From your furnished deck you can view the rocky coast of Acadia, schooners, whale watch & lobster boats, colorful sunrises & sunsets.

Your spacious suite includes kitchen, living area, WiFi, cable/dvd, AC. Amenities, from wine glasses to picnic baskets, enhance your visit.

Stroll the historic waterfront to shopping, boating, hiking and great dining. At low tide you can walk across 'the bar' to the top of Bar Island, which is in Acadia National Park. From Bar Island you will see the bay, village and mountains. You will even see your suite.

The waterview suite truly offers what we call 'B&B hospitality with hotel privacy'.
Bar Harbor is a pedestrian's dream. You can actually park your car in your designated spot and never have to drive: walk to grocery store, natural foods store, Sunday farmer's market, boating activities, museums, restaurants and galleries.

Day hikes for all abilities are offered. You can kayak with Registered Maine Guides or enjoy some of the county's best Whale Watching. 50 miles of car-free bicycles trails are available for your enjoyment. Meet the artists at fine art and craft galleries. Dine in numerous fine restaurants or on your own private waterview deck.

While we book mostly to couples, this unit is suitable for bringing along a child or another family member. There is a separate king bedroom plus a pull-out sofa in the living room area.

Check in is 4 pm on Saturday. Check out is promptly at 10 am with the next check-in no earlier than 4 pm allowing sufficient time to open doors and windows for airing out the unit and to property clean by State of Maine guidelines.

Fantastic week , fantastic location
From the time of booking to the end of our stay, Sherry was always very helpful and provided us with all the information we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The apartment is very spacious and has everything you need. The location is perfect and the view is exactly as we see on the pictures. We will be back. Thank you Sherry and Ivan.

The Perfect Vacation
The property is as amazing as all of the reviews state. You could not ask for a better location. You are within an easy walk to everything in Bar Harbor. The view from this suite is amazing! The suite is well stocked with everything you will need. As other reviews have stated this property is extremely clean. Sherry is amazing to work with and is a wealth of information if you need it. After spending the week here, it is also very important that off street parking is provided with the rental. It should also be noted that Acadia national park is very close to this rental. 15 minutes and you are at your parking location in Acadia. This property is almost always booked. If you somehow find an open date that works for you, book it. We found out how lucky we were to be able to rent this amazing place. It was a perfect vacation and will always be remembered as such. The only item that could be an issue for some people is that you do need to go up three flights of stairs. Not an issue for us, and trust me the view is worth it.

Our place was fully equipped just like home. The owners were available for any need you may have.
I loved where we stayed. The view is amazing and the location perfectly located in Bar Harbor. The place is equipped with everything you could possibly need being away from home. There are so many things to do close by. We would love to stay there again anytime.

Best vacation rental in Bar Harbor
My husband and I recently enjoyed a stay at Alone Moose! Ivan and Sher were more than accommodating. You can tell that they take great pride in their property, as it was spotless and well appointed with many necessities. The best part is by far the view from the deck, which we spent hours on each day! We have rented many different properties in Bar Harbor and we have found our new favorite. Looking forward to returning next summer!

Perfection In Bar Harbor
My wife and I just spent 2 weeks in Maine after celebrating our daughter's wedding. Bar Harbor was the crowning event in our trip, and staying in Sher and Ivan's apartment for a week was a real jewel in the crown. The accomodations were perfect for our needs.: a spacious, immaculate and well provisioned apartment; a perfect in-town close-to-everything location with a reserved parking place and a balcony overlooking the harbor (where we drank coffee and watched the world wake up every mornng); abundant high quality linens and a washer/dryer in the hall. And best of all lovely, accomodating hosts who gave us enough "what to do and see" tips to fill much more than our one week. We will definitely return to this little slice of heaven.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Rasmussen

Host profile image

We have been involved the ARTs in Bar Harbor since the early 1970’s and participate in local ART events such as First Friday ART walks. Ivan, who was once Bar Harbor Harbormaster, has spent most of his life near the ocean first in his native Oregon and now on Mount Desert Island, home to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Sherry traveled extensively as an international flight attendant.Though her travels took her to many beautiful destinations, she says that Mount Desert Island is truly one of the world's treasures.

The beauty of the island is what drew us to Bar Harbor. The magic of the island will captivate you as well.

Ivan captures the beauty of the Acadia in his watercolors that he sells in his own 'ART on West' and other galleries.

Bar Harbor is one of Maine's most walkable communities so we live right in the downtown for the convenience of walking to movies, theater, dining, boating, shopping and more. Like us, our visitors walk or bike into Acadia National Park. A free bus runs from mid-June to mid-October from the Village of Bar Harbor into Acadia National Park and to neighboring Villages. We are often asked if Bar Harbor is near Acadia National Park. Our downtown is surrounded by Acadia National Park and the nearby Bar Island is just a short walk from your suite. Did you know that the 'bar' to Bar Island is the reason for the name of Bar Harbor? You can see Bar Island from your suite. It is one of several islands of Acadia and the only one that is walkable from Bar Harbor!

We love to share our community and island with visitors from around the world. We are always nearby to get you started on a perfect vacation.

Why they chose this property

The best feature of the unit is the furnished covered private deck with waterview and, of course, there is so much room in the suite. For your convenience there is private, off street parking with the amenities of the world renowned Village of Bar Harbor are all walkable.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Your suite is located on the West Street Waterfront and close to Bar Harbor's fine restaurants, galleries, and boating activities. You can watch the horse drawn carriages when they come into town for wedding or special events.There is a free self guided walking tour called 'Museum in the Streets'. You can jump on the tour at the neighboring Bar Harbor Club or anywhere in town to learn the history of our hometown.
