Great location

The house was spotless, well equipped, spacious and in a fantastic location. Easy walk to town and easy walk to some great hikes in the park. We enjoyed the fire pit and breakfast on the deck.

We had the best time on our vacation largely due to the awesome rental on Strawberry Hill! Plenty of room for our two families, close to town, and we loved the fire pit! We hope to stay again next summer!

Great place to stay!

We LOVED our stay here and would definitely come back any time! Easy to walk or drive to town, and super close to a few different entrances into the park. The house is adorable, spacious, and was perfect for our small group of friends! The host was super responsive to a few questions we had, and we felt right at home.

Great spot

This is a quiet neighborhood and shady house on the edge of town. We all had a lovely stay here. The public works yard down the hill was a bit noisy.

Nice, comfortable stay in a good location.

The house was very nice and clean and comfortable and in a good location. Ben was knowledgeable and kind enough to meet us at the house to answer all our questions. It was a great home base for after all of our adventures. I would not hesitate to stay again. Oh, and the beds were all very comfortable!

Location! Location! Location!

The perfect location for Acadia National park, hiking, great restaurants, and privacy. Two couples had plenty of room , good beds, and cooking facilities. We walked into town easily for anything. Ben is a great communicator, easy to work with, and paid great attention to detail in his home. We had a very enjoyable time in Bar Harbor!

Great Location

The best equipped house I have ever rented. While I did not do a lot of cooking, they have everything you need if that is your preference. Fire pit ( with wood) was a nice touch. Great grill. I would rent again.

Location, location, location!

Probably the best rental spot we’ve ever had! About a five minute drive from downtown bar Harbor and 10-15 minutes to Acadia national Park. We were traveling with three adults and then infant and there was plenty of space for all. It was very helpful to have a travel crib at the house. Our hosts, Ben, and Joanne, we’re also very responsive. Terrific stay overall!

Wonderful location and charming home

Our family of 4 (mom, dad, 2 teens) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ben and Joan's lovely home. We loved that the house is secluded in the trees but so close to the middle of Bar Harbor and to Acadia entrances. The house has everything you might need to enjoy your stay. The basement tenant was home much of the week we were there, but we barely even noticed. The Strawberry Hill house made a perfect base camp for our stay in Bar Harbor, and we would love to return some day.

If the Beds would have been better we wouldn’t have left! New couches, table & chairs, great outdoor area, and loved the kitchen. We had an amazing time exploring Acadia. This location was 10 minutes away from Acadia’s gate and Bar Harbor. Thanks for sharing your place with us. ❤️

Charming house, great location

We loved our stay at Strawberry Hill House. The house is charming and clean and met all of our needs. Each of our three teenage children had their own room which worked perfectly. We walked often to town which was a treat and the house is minutes from Acadia. The location is ideal. Ben was extremely accommodating, helpful and responsive. We would highly recommend this special house for a vacation in Bar Harbor!

Secluded but Close to Everything

The property was very well maintained and large enough for my teenagers to both find their own space. We loved that we could walk to town for dinner or ice cream or drive into Acadia within minutes. We were able to cook several meals at the house including lobster in the big lobster pot on the back deck. Thank you, Ben and Joan, for providing such a charming place to plot, plan and recover from our Acadia adventures!

Acadia Bliss

We absolutely loved our stay. The home was clean, cozy and met the needs of our diverse group of young boys. Plenty of cozy nooks for them without feeling far from family prep in the main room. The updated kitchen and appliances were much appreciated, as we enjoyed the games at the large kitchen table. A nice walk to Bar Harbor while giving us the quiet perks of being on the edge of town. Wonderful stay! Hosts were great communicators and all our needs were met. I hope to return in the not-so-distant future.

Everything you need for perfect vacation.

The property wasn't perfect (a bit dated) but it was everything we needed. We were thrilled with the location. So close to the shore and town, yet felt very private. The stretch of woods next to property was the perfect view for morning coffee and roasting s'mores. Most meals were prepared in the Kitchen (plenty room for family to work together). Grill was a bonus. Would definitely come back to this property. We hiked, biked, kayaked, fished, and swam. Excellent vacation.

Wonderful

We really enjoyed our stay in Bar Harbor! This property was perfect, as it was within walking distance to the fun downtown Bar Harbor area. The hosts were so helpful upon our arrival making sure we had everything we needed to make our check in as seamless as possible. The house was clean and spacious and had all the amenities we needed including grill, campfire, indoor and outdoor dining, plenty of sleeping space and two full bathrooms. We visited Acadia for the first time with our family of 4 and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. As a surprise addition to the trip, we took in the fireworks on the water downtown and they were spectacular only to be surpassed by the breathtaking views atop the mountains. Truly an amazing vacation!
