Located right in the heart of downtown, our house is on a street once referred to as “Mistress Row” or “Rotten Row,” due to it's reputation for housing J.P Morgan’s mistresses while his yacht was anchored in town. It is a peaceful residential street, but is within a few blocks of all of the hustle and bustle of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, whale watching, shopping grocery stores and more.
Within three blocks are an organic grocery store- A&B Naturals and Hannaford's (large chain grocery store) with everything you could need for your stay. This is the perfect location if you want to do most of your sight-seeing by foot, as you can easily leave your car and either walk to destinations or walk to a shuttle stop to visit points further out.
The location is perfect for walking to explore downtown. Everything Bar Harbor offers that is accessible by foot is within about 0.5 miles/1 km from the house.
The Island Explorer is a free shuttle run by L.L. Bean that has stops located at multiple areas in Acadia National Park and also Bar Harbor, including a stop at the Village Green (approximately 5 min walk from the house).

We have been coming to Bar Harbor for years. To celebrate my wife's Birthday, we brought our family this trip. This property was amazing to have everyone together and be so close to town. The hosts were very accommodating, the location was amazing, and the house was clean and very roomy for everyone. I highly recommend this property and would reserve again, without question.
We absolutely loved our stay. Perfect for our family of 6 adults! Intentionally chosen for location and amenities! Walking distance to village, grocery, restaurants and all that BH has to offer! Minutes from Acadia! Everything met or exceeded expectations! Can’t wait to come back!
Great house. Great location. Only drawback for older or physically compromised people is the bedrooms and all bathrooms are upstairs. Very well appointed and equipped facility. Loved the outdoor space ( Club 17). Plenty of cooking and serving stuff in the kitchen. Loved our stayJim
Fantastic location, house is lovely, walked everywhere we wanted to go other than Acadia and that was a very short drive. Bar Harbor shops and restaurants were enjoyed by all.
First trip to Maine for us, we will definitely be back. Highly recommend this property!
This home was immaculately clean, homey, and our host spared no detail. Let’s talk about location location location- far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but steps away from from all the shopping and restaurants. Everything you could possibly need in one beautiful home.
The house worked great for our family of 5. Walking distance to literally anything Bar Harbor has to offer. The check in process was seamless and the manager was easily available for questions. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in Bar Harbor with a large family!
Parking is difficult in Bar Harbor so location is important. This house is in walking distance to everything downtown Bar Harbor has to offer. Family of 10 stayed there and the accommodations were superior. I would rate it a 9.5 on a scale of 10 only because there is no bathroom on the ground floor. Otherwise this house is great.
This was a wonderful house for our extended family to spend a week together in Bar Harbor. It was exactly as described and was fully stocked from kitchen amenities to beach towels. The location on a quiet side street was perfect with everything walkable in town plus Acadia was a short car ride away. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings. We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect home for a family or four couples. Loved the charm and warmth of the house, perect location and overall wonderful home base for our first trip to Bar Harbor. Would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Stayed here with my sons and my brothers and their sons. Perfect spot to hike during the day and then unwind and walk to dinner downtown at night. Tons of beds and open living area to gather. Clean and well stocked
3 couples with varying degrees of knowledge of Bar Harbor and Acadia. Property was great, location was great, Bar Harbor and Acadia were great. Wonderful week. House could have easily handled another couple and was very well maintained. Everything about the stay was very easy.
We had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor and the house was perfect. We had nine people and there was plenty of room with everything we needed. The location of the house could not have been better. Short 2 minute walk to town. Highly recommend this property and Bar Harbor.
This was the perfect home for our family while we celebrated my parent's 50th anniversary. The house was close to everything! The added bonus of parking as well as the outdoor space for cooking dinner at home was icing on the cake. The quaint front porch was enjoyed every morning and evening. We can't wait to come back!
Large, clean, extremely well stocked home with the best location possible. Can walk downtown to all stores/restaurants/waterfront within minutes and very short drive to entrance to Acadia. Could not have been more convenient in every way.
Great location with everything in walking distance. The house is spacious and comfortable. Everything is there that you could possibly need! Everything for cooking, toys for kids, beach gear and towels. The host and property manager are very responsive to all requests. Highly recommend!
This is an outstanding home in Bar Harbor! The host is awesome and easy to communicate with before and during your stay. The home is located within walking distance of many stores and restaurants and is a short drive from Acadia National Park. Acadia has many trails to explore and fun things to see and experience! Be sure to visit this home, you will not be disappointed!
This house was amazing! The location was perfect to walk to restaurants and shops in town. Quick drive to Acadia for hiking. The house is very well stocked. We used water bottles and a small cooler provided for picnic lunches in Acadia. The owner and property manager were easy to get ahold of and quick to respond. Would definitely recommend staying here!
We really enjoyed our four days at this beautiful old house. It was been tastefully and fully updated, but the charm persists. We were a 2 to 10 minute walk from everything in Bar Harbor, and a short car ride to the various sites in Acadia National Park. The hosts were very pleasant the few times we interacted, including allowing us to check-in a couple of hours early. We loved the house, and will hopefully stay again in the future.
Our family had the best stay in this lovely home! It was extremely homey, clean, and all around perfect. The house was fully stocked with anything that you could possibly need. We especially loved the big front porch and outdoor area to gather as a family after a day of exploring. The property manager was very available, helpful, and checked in multiple times to ensure that all of our needs were met. We hope to visit Bar Harbor and stay in this home again one day!
