The location is outstanding. Family members enjoyed short walks to shopping and dining areas. It was convenient to catch shuttles to Acadia Park. We all enjoyed the nearby land bridge several times. A great house for our 10 family members. The front porch was enjoyed mornings and evenings.

Great for Multiple Family Event in Bar Harbor
Excellent location and spacious historic house for multiple famlies to stay. Well-supplied kitchen for large group meals. Parking in the driveway for three large vehicles was wonderful since street parking and traffic is so busy in Bar Harbor. Our host made sure we enjoyed a quality experience.

The house was fabulous, with lots of space and historic charm. It is on a beautiful street in downtown Bar Harbor and you can even see the water from the front porch! It was easy to walk down to the restaurants and shops, and a short drive to Acadia. The hosts were responsive. Definitely recommend La Maisonette!

Incredible, spacious, and comfortable stay
This house is ideally located, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Not one but two kitchens, an expansive living space, and ample beds for all. The bathrooms are a bit cramped but that is where I have to admit I'm nitpicking because it's a gorgeous, and gorgeously kept, house. Highly recommended for large groups.

Great Old House
We loved our stay. Perfect location. Grand old house with its quirks but this comes with an old house. We thought it was relatively clean, comfortable, and nice. We would stay there again. If you are looking for a pristine, modern, upscale type of place this is not it but if you can appreciate this old house you will love your stay.

Wonderful Week in a perfect location
Our family of 12 (ages 66 - 2) enjoyed our stay. Perfect location! Short drive to Acadia NP. Walking distance to Bar Harbor restaurants, sand bar, shopping and grocery store. Never needed to deal with parking! House is old, but we knew that when we booked it.
Wonderful week.

Needs better maintenance at a great location
Great location but cobwebs, moldy showers, burned out lightbulbs, and a non-working and dirty oven put a damper on a premium-priced experience.

I wish this renter had let me know his concerns when they arose and I would have addressed them immediately. Our housekeepers take great pride in maintaining our home and would have come out straight away had they known. We were unaware the oven was not working as previous tenants had not reported any issues. We have already addressed it. We do keep light bulbs in the house in case they go out and would have let you know where or sent someone to replace if given the chance.

Everything We Had Hoped For !
This beautiful historic home was all that we had hoped for - perfect location, comfortable and clean, and very well stocked.
Our only disappointment was the grill, which was ok for hot dogs, but needing to be repaired. That said, everything else about the house we loved !!

Even better the second time.
This is a great property in a great location. Easy access to downtown, the park, and shopping. The house is well equipped and has plenty of room for a large group, we had four adult couples and two small children. This was our second stay, the last one four years ago, and we noticed the owner has made investments to upgrade the property, redone bathrooms, new gas grill and fresh paint. It was a great property before and it got better. We’ll be back.

perfect for a family gathering
We had 12 in our family party- family members ranging from 20 to 55 with significant others stayed. The property is an older property with a lot of character. It easily held the 12 of us. Location was AMAZING! We were directly across from the sand bar connecting the harbor to Bar Island. Steps from all down town locations. Close as can be to Acadia Park. The supermarket is directly behind the house. It was perfect!
