About this property

Coastal butterfly haven, waterview, pets, near Acadia National Park

Located steps from the new Acadia Gateway Center. Pick up your park pass right across the street and leave your car if you wish to take the free Island Explorer bus into the park.

Enjoy a cozy place to kick back after hiking or sightseeing. You'll sleep peacefully out of the noise and traffic of Bar Harbor and wake up just minutes from Acadia National Park, restaurants and shopping. You will have the downstairs unit of a duplex all to yourselves, with your own private entrance.

Relax on the porch, wander our brookside trail and the organic pollinator-friendly gardens. Keep an eye out for eagles, great blue herons, ducks, foxes and perhaps even a seal! Enjoy our night-time dark skies for breathtaking views of the milky way as you sit around the fire pit.

Sweeping views of a tidal estuary just steps from the back porch. Kayak and canoe put-in. It is a short paddle from here into Frenchman Bay with gorgeous views of Mount Desert Island. (You can order boats delivered by a local outfit ahead of time and keep them here during your stay.) Volta, an indoor climbing gym, is within walking distance.

Our garden has been certified as a National Wildlife Foundation native wildlife habitat and a Monarch Waystation. We are also active in our local Project Drawdown and have committed to reduce our carbon footprint. Our electricity and HVAC are powered by solar panels. We use green cleaners and non-toxic shampoo and conditioner. Our energy efficient heat pump has AC for those hot summer days.

This is a no-smoking facility. No smoking is allowed in the house or on the grounds.

Pet friendly
Please inquire if you would like to bring a pet. We provide a dog bed and bowls to welcome your furry companion. There is an additional one-time nonrefundable $200 pet fee collected through the platform at the beginning of your stay.

Outstanding rental. Great location near Acadia. Location on river with gardens and wildlife was beautiful. Host was perfect - great communication at all the right times, available for questions, and otherwise left us alone. This rental is an apartment / duplex situation but felt very private. Would 100% rent again.

The cabin is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Barb has thought of everything you could possibly need during your visit. The back yard has a picture perfect view of the Jordan River. My two nature loving sons had so much to explore on this property. The location is great and I highly recommend using The Island Explorer to visit Acadia National Park during peak times to avoid the stress of finding a parking spot. The pick up location is just a two minute drive right across the street at The Gateway Center. Check in was super easy and Barb is fast to respond to anything you may need. If we were to find ourselves visiting Maine again, we would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing Stay

We had a wonderful time at the property. It had all the items that we needed for our stay and the views and property itself were perfect for the five of us. We especially enjoyed the trail in the woods that led back to a waterfall and the amazing views from the back porch. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Home away from home

My husband and two kids (16, 11) had every thing we needed to feel right at home at this lovely property. After long mornings of hiking at Acadia, we looked forward to lazy evenings relaxing with beautiful views at the house. The well stocked and organized kitchen made it very easy to make breakfasts and dinners so we didnt have to eat out, and we enjoyed playing games and working on puzzles in the evenings. It was a great stay!

We had a lovely stay here while exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It was nice to come back in the evenings to somewhere quiet with plenty of room for our family of five. The back deck was a such a treat with a gorgeous water view! Even though it was quite chilly, we sipped our coffee out there in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Barb supplied us with everything we needed, and was gracious enough to mail my daughter's beloved necklace she accidentally left behind. We would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful view to witness Acadia Fall colors

My sister and I loved staying here. Barb has thought of everything to make our stay here comfortable. The place was spotless and the furniture was so comfortable including the beds. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck enjoying the beautiful view in the mornings and at sunset. A wonderful place all in all!

Nice retreat from Bar Harbor throngs

The property was exactly as described and served as a nice retreat from the many tourists in the Bar Harbor area. With the exception of an occasional airplane we enjoyed a very tranquil environment for rest and relaxation. The water view and grounds are spectacular and Barb was very responsive to our needs. We would stay there again.

I'm a retired educator and have traveled extensively throughout Central America and Mexico. I enjoy birding, kayaking, and hiking and I'm learning photography. I've been coming to Maine since I was a kid and will always think of it as a magical place. I am so grateful to live here full time now!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for two generations and I hope to pass it on to my own children. We made wonderful memories here, and I hope you will, too.

What makes this property unique

The beauty of the tidal river with ever-changing views of birds, wildlife and sunlight reflecting off the water will wash your cares away. At the same time it is convenient to hiking, kayaking, shopping and tourist attractions.
