Heather was a great host! She was very responsive and the communication with her about the property was very helpful to our stay. The house was very well appointed and met our needs for our vacation in Acadia. The house itself was clean, comfortable and located on a quiet street. The house is minutes away from Bar Harbor which made dining out extremely easy. Our main purpose for visiting Acadia was biking and hiking - this property was easily accesible to the Carraige Roads and hikes with in the park. We had a great stay and I would highly recommend staying here.

This place was perfect for our family. The kitchen had a lot of counter space and all the basic needs for cooking a few simple meals. There was a breakfast table, but also a big dining room table where we all could play some games. We enjoyed the deck with a table there too. And the fenced in back yard was a nice place to sit. The air conditioning was appreciated in July and kept the house at a nice temperature. The house is centrally located. It is only a 1 mile walk to town, which we did almost every evening and it only took 5 minutes to drive to a couple different entrances to Acadia National park. We would recommend this rental for a great stay in Bar Harbor.

This property had everything you could possibly need. Attention to every little detail was provided, and appreciated. Mattresses and pillows so comfortable, plenty of towels, and plenty of room to spread out. Could not be happier with this property, will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Acadia. Walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor great, and close access to carriage trails as well. Not 1 negative comment can be left for this property. Highly recommend!!

The owners thought of everything. The house was very clean and comfortable. Towels appeared to be new and plentiful. It was about a mile walk to town which took about 25 minutes which was very nice to not need to find a parking space. Nice quiet neighborhood that was just minutes from Acadia. We enjoyed Jordan's for breakfast a couple of times. Hannaford supermarket was convenient. We cooked in twice and the kitchen was nicely appointed.

Fantastic stay in Bar Harbor

This property was perfect for our family. The home was spacious and close to the national park. The option to rest in the middle of the day between hikes was an unexpected benefit of having a home so close to all the best parts of the park. I can't say enough about how great this home was to stay in.

Everything about this location was great. Heather was flexible, available and the neighborhood was just that, a neighborhood. We were close enough yet far enough from town and the tourists. Our own parking spaces, very nice home. I’d come back.

I stayed there with my wife and four adult children and we had an amazing time.
