What a great location! It’s so close to Main Street and all our needs were within walking distance. The house was big enough for 16 of us. The 2.5 bathrooms tested our patience, cvbut we had the maximum people for the house and it worked! H

Bar Harbor Gem

The Sherman House was just what we needed, a home away from home. Christine was lovely to deal with and it shows how much she cares for the home. Location was incredible, as was the neighborhood, walking distance to everything and a 5 min drive to Acadia. We couldn’t have had a better time. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We hope to be back soon.

Perfect vacation

A wonderful home perfectly situated to enjoy all the amenities of Mount Desert Island. Walking distance to great restaurants, the waterfront, a major grocery store, great ice cream vendors, and enough retail to ensure you part with your money! The home has everything needed to enjoy a true vacation. A full kitchen, great backyard with table, fire pit, and barbecue. and plenty of space inside so that even with 15 of us, we never felt crowded. Bar Harbor is a great spot, and Mount Desert Island is an aweswome four-season destination. We recommend this place with enthusiasm.

Fabulous Stay in Bar Harbor

The house was just right for our family vacation with 3 families sharing the rental. The location is perfect. It was an easy walk to everywhere in Bar Harbor. The house is really beautiful inside with nice sized rooms. The kitchen is great and well-equipped. There are plenty of sitting areas, which made it comfortable for our large group.The backyard area and parking for 4 cars were two added bonuses that we really utilized. ( And after seeing the parking difficulties in town, we really appreciated the spaces.)We were within 15 minutes of most points we visited in Acadia. I can’t recommend this property enough. Really fabulous stay and accommodating host.
