We had a wonderful family trip to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We walked to nearby restaurants and coffee shops and Acadia was a short drive. The house is perfect for family. We had everything we needed! I highly recommend this house.

Celebrated 60th birthday with friends. Lots of room and bathrooms for all. Disco Ball in main room! Kitchen was well equipped. Used the deck most days. Used the large dining table for group dinner and games. Location was great. Had some minor repairs that were addressed promptly.

This home is much nicer than the pictures can depict. Its location is walkable to restaurants, the ocean walk and shops. Nice quiet street but central to the town. Short drive to Acadia and all its natural beauty. The disco ball is especially fun!The owners were very attentive. I highly recommend this VRBO.

The home and location were perfect for our families! I still miss getting coffee in the downstairs floor (rented by other family members, we didn’t just break in 😉). Perfect for big families ❤️

Great home, ideal location!

We love Bar Harbor. This was our first time with a big group and the house exceeded all of our needs. Once you park, you can walk anywhere (grocery store, restaurants, waterfront, shops, etc.) Nice house with historic charm. If you need 4-5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in beautiful Bar Harbor, this place will work perfectly for you!

Wonderful Property in a Terrific Location

The Mason House was absolutely perfect for our stay. It is a historic structure with all of the quirks, but has been modernized wonderfully. We slept 12 adults very comfortably (with the 18 year old's in the loft) and had more than enough "hang out room" with tons of seating and high ceilings which made it feel even grander. The location is amazing for visiting all of Bar Harbor and Acadia. The property care takers were in the neighborhood and were also very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic Location

We were celebrating a birthday and the house was the perfect size for our family of 12. Our stay was over July 4th so we were able to walk to the town center in minutes which allowed us to come back for meals then leave for the events. The parade route was less than a block away. We were very happy with this property.

great location - amazing space

We had the top floor of this beautiful home.. and it slept 10 (6 adults - 4 kids) perfectly. Plenty of space for the kids to run, play... and our entire family to spread out.. We were on top of each other at all. Best part was how convenient it was - walk to town in five minutes - walk to grocery store in five minutes. Just perfect

PERFECT place for groups!

My husband and I rented the full property for ourselves and our wedding party for our wedding and it was the PERFECT place for us. It was clean, SO spacious, perfect location, and Kay and Augusto were amazing hosts. They were responsive, friendly, and accommodating to all our requests and left us a beautiful gift knowing we were there for our wedding. Our guests all raved about being able to stay in a central location and it made it so special for us to have everyone close by, truly a highlight of our wedding!! Thank you for having us!

5 stars all around

We don’t usually write reviews but our experience staying for a week at Mason House was too good to keep quiet about. The house is fabulous: interesting, well laid out, lots of private nooks but great gathering space. Owners are so responsive. Location can’t be beat: quiet street but close to lovely ocean path, walk out to Bar Island, shops, groceries, 10 minute drive to Acadia visitor center. Our family of five was delighted with everything about our stay.

Gorgeous Expansive Second Floor Home

We all had a lovely stay in Bar Harbor thanks to the convenient location and beautiful accommodations at the Mason lodge. The second floor was a Mason's lodge that has been converted to a four bedroom, four bathroom second floor apartment/space. The common area is expansive and gorgeous with a beautiful mix of modern and antiques. The kitchen is small but well stocked and has high quality appliances. We were 3 couples and had a fantastic time at the Mason Lodge and Bar Harbor.
