Amazing location. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and harbor. The only reason I gave an overall 4 star rating is due to the fact that the bathroom on middle level didn't have a lock. Otherwise it was great house!

Awesome in Acadia

Our whole family spent just under a week together in this lovely home with three stories and five bedrooms! The third story suite was perfect for our oldest son, wife and baby infant. House is very comfortable with tons of well maintained and stocked kitchen supplies! That’s such a gift! We cooked three nights. Bess all comfortable with nice bedding and towels. Tons of baby items to include pack n play, high chair and baby gate. Toys galore for adult games an and baby amusement. Host was super with communication and location was great. I would stay again. Enjoy!

Bar Harbor House - supreme location

The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more. The proximity to Acadia was supreme. It was an easy walk to the grocery store, bike rental shops, the explorer bus and to Bar Harbor shops. A fun place for a getaway with friends.

Bar Harbor

Fabulous house; clean, quiet and very comfortable. Can walk to the harbor and see sunset and sunrise. Walk to Bar Island Path, grocery store, cute shops and restaurants. Acadia National Park is a short ride way. Can hike the south and north Bubbles, ride or hike up Cadillac Mountain, many hiking trails, visit Sand Beach, eat at Lobster Pound. Wonderful place. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location

We loved the house and proximity to both town and Acadia. The grocery is around the corner with reasonable prices. There are 2 bakeries and a french restaurant very close by and are delicious. The town green and the Harbor areas are a 5 min walk. We were traveling with myself and husband and 4 20’s kids and the house fit us perfectly.
