About this property

Charming Home in Hearth of Town, Yard, Fire Table, Grill, Free Parking

The restaurants, shops and activities of Bar Harbor are just steps away! You’ll have our our 3,000 square foot, 5-bedroom, 4 bathroom historic house to use as a home base while you explore downtown and Acadia National Park. Off-street parking for four vehicles is included. There is ample outdoor space for dining, lawn games or relaxing on the porch. Walk to everything, including grocery stores, park shuttles, the Marina, bars/restaurants and anything else on your Bar Harbor bucket list!

This 3-story circa 1903 home has been lovingly maintained over the years. Original woodwork and built-ins blend with modern furnishings and decor to make a comfortable space with a classy, relaxed vibe.

First Floor: Living room, sitting area, dining room (seats up to 12 with table fully expanded), wetbar/coffee bar, kitchen with island seating

Second Floor: Master (king) bedroom with en-suite bath and sitting area, queen bedroom with en-suite bath, king bedroom and separate full bath

Third floor: King bedroom, Bedroom with two double beds, full bathroom and children’s books/toys

The entire house, basement and outdoor areas are accessible to guests. There is a small owners closet in the basement that is not accessible to guests.

**Please note, there are no bathrooms on the first floor of the house. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the second or third floors.**

Please, no pets except for service animals. Sorry, no exceptions.

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 were here with our 2 daughters, their husbands and our 6 grandchildren. It was exactly as described and was the perfect layout of rooms and bathrooms for the 12 of us. It was so conveniently located within walking distance of town and shops, and the bus system was easy to navigate. The host was incredibly responsive. Everything was very clean, the bedding was luxurious and the bath products were excellent. It was great to have free parking and to never get in the car the entire week, Our only complaints were out of control of the host: traffic in front of the house was sometimes fast for the posted speed limit and the crowds of people in town were a little much. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and enjoy quality time with our family!

Great Experience near town

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.

Acadia/Bar Harbor Trip

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!

Great House and Great Location!

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.

Great house, great location

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.

Great Property!

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!

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!
