About this property
Spacious Home in the Heart of Acadia National Park
Welcome to Fins and Feathers, a hidden gem in the heart of Acadia National Park. We are Spruce Properties Bar Harbor, also available online at sprucepropertiesbarharbor.wordpress.com. Please visit our website to reach us directly or see more details about our properties.
Bright and spacious home nestled in the woods abutting Acadia National Park. Located on the quiet side of Bar Harbor away from the hustle of busy day traffic, but only 3 min from downtown. Built by a local as a family home in 2005, this house has all the comforts of a new home with all the charm of a well-loved Maine cottage. Enjoy the giant, light-filled living room stocked with books and games, have coffee in the cozy breakfast nook tucked up against the woods, or take advantage of the fully stocked kitchen. There is a beautiful view of Champlain Mountain from the house, which boasts amazingly colorful sunrises and sunsets easily seen from the deck.
Drive past the beautiful Tarn and in between Door and Champlain Mountains to reach our property, located just south of Bar Harbor and set back off the road. You can access the park out the back door, or walk to the hidden stream nearby. It's a very short drive to either the Cadillac South Ridge Trail or the Dorr Mountain Ladder Trail. Our family is very familiar with hikes and places to go in the Park, and would be happy to offer suggestions catered to your tastes. Acadia surrounds you!
Enter the bottom floor to find a large mudroom and the first large queen bedroom with a sleeper sofa and living area. Up the stairs will be the breakfast nook, next to the commodious kitchen and extra half bathroom on the right. Around the corner is the open living room and dining area with plenty of windows and a large sliding door leading out to the deck with the grill. Around the next corner is the second queen bedroom and the stairs to the second floor. At the top of the stairs there is the laundry room, full tiled bathroom with lots of towel racks, and the master bedroom and kids' bedroom. The spacious master bedroom has a queen bed, two closets, and two desk spaces. The kids' bedroom is smaller and has two twin beds. I would describe our house as spacious and accommodating, everything shipshape but without a lot of frills.
Notes: This property is not handicapped-accessible. Pets considered upon request and for an additional fee of $60/night. Typically this house stays cool, but we also have window A/C units in the living room and master bedroom and fans in all rooms. There is parking for 3 cars next to the house.

Very roomy, hidden back in the woods. Very close to all of the hikes in Acadia and also pretty close to Bar Harbor. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something spacious.
Great location, lots of space, clean kitchen and outdoor yard for a fire pit. If you're staying in Acadia with family this is a very good place to rent!
Nestled in the woods and still just 15 minutes from everything in Bar Harbor! Clean, well stocked, comfortable beds, and spacious. The perfect place to relax after a full day on the go in and around Acadia. Would stay again and will recommend to family and friends.
Traveling with family for Acadia getaway. Property was clean, as described and well appointed. Location was ideal for exploring both the park and Bar Harbor.
The house was in a great location for getting around to everything we wanted to see and do in Acadia. It was very clean and neat and had lots of basics needed for a stay. The owners were very responsive in communicating and answering any questions. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Thanks so much for this great and detailed review!
Three bedrooms with one on the entry level if you want separation between two couples.
Kitchen was well appointed with basics and so was the laundry area.
Overall our stay was great and it's a great hopping off point to tour Acadia and MDI.
Our family had a wonderful time staying in this house. It gave us plenty of space and everything we needed. The owner stopped by with some thoughtful items for the house and was so kind. It was a lovely week of retreating from the world - thank you!
Nice home conducive to enjoying time with our adult children, very well stocked kitchen, eating nook that nestled into the woods (loved that!), easy access to the park and Bar Harbor. Quiet. Would stay here again!
Property is situated just off the main road, but surprisingly quiet. Plenty of hot water. Easy access to national park and trail heads. Short drive into Bar Harbor for dining and shopping. Can walk to Otter Creek for coffee.
Definitely the right location for this part of the tourist season.
We actually did not stay in this one. We were upgraded to a downtown house. It was close to everything. The house was fantastic and so was Kyle. We had the best time.
Great location to hiking and town
The amount of space was just right for our family
Kitchen was well stocked for our cooking needs
Had a problem with the grill but was fixed by the homeowner.
The owners were attentive to any questions we had about the area
It was unusually warm in Maine, there were fans in all the rooms which was nice but loud. The house was also damp-maybe due to it being so warm and humid?
Overall, we had a great trip
Fins & Feathers was a fantastic spot for our family! We had 4 adults and 4 teens and there was plenty of room for us to be very comfortable. Kyle & Catrina were super responsive and made sure to check in with us to see if we had any questions. The location was perfect as it is a short drive to downtown Bar Harbor and the park is easily accessible. We loved finding the swimming hole and spending time at the fire pit. Acadia is such a special place and this property made it even more so!! Thank you, Kyle & Catrina, for a wonderful stay!

Thank you so much Karen for the the thoughtful review. Hope to have you back!

This was a great location for our family. Pros: Accessible to both the town and the entrances to the national park. Spacious house at the base of the mountain. Beds were comfy. Cons: The only shower/tub in the house is dated and could use replacing. The hot water unexpectedly went out our last night there. It was an inconvenience, but not the end of the world. From the property manager's standpoint, it's hard to predict something like that happening. Overall, we enjoyed the stay.

Thank you, Kirk! You were wonderful guests. I'm glad the beds and house were comfortable! You were right about the tub, and we have since refinished it. I am SO sorry about the hot water, it was a flip of a switch to fix. Thanks for being so kind!
Lovely spot close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor
The house known as Fins and Feathers is in a lovely location, and is comfortable for small families. The lodging has comfortable beds, plenty of dishes and utensils to feed a group, and is managed by a responsive couple who are lovely to work with. They even let us back into the house one rainy evening after we locked ourselves out! There was room to spread out, and an upstairs bathroom with a shower/bath tub. toilet and sink, as well as a small half bath (sink and toilet) on the main level. Things to consider for improvement: a full roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, and a spare. as well as a full roll of paper towels when you arrive; sharper knives for cooking; copies of maps to nearby hiking trails. There is a lovely creek nearby that you can wade in or even take a dip in one of its pools. It is easy to reach when you know how to find it, and is just minutes away by foot. You are also close to town (short drive) and the entrances to the park. Really well located.
The house was perfect for our family vacation. It was clean and spacious with everything we needed. The location was great. We were able to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park easily and quickly — which is great when you’re with one and three year olds! There is so much to do in this area. The kids had a blast, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for a great stay!
