About this property

Nestled between Bar Harbor and Acadia, a bright and spacious house in the woods

Welcome to Woods and Waters, a spacious and bright 4-bedroom home abutting Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, ME. We are Spruce Properties Bar Harbor, also available online at sprucepropertiesbarharbor.wordpress.com. Please visit our website to reach us directly or learn more about our properties.

Walk up stairs and enter a lovely, welcoming entryway with plenty of space for shoes and bags. The house flows into a comfortable, open living and dining area with a cathedral ceiling and skylights that fill the space with warm natural light. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality knives, non-stick pans, and tupperware, and is easy to cook in while partaking in conversation in the living room/dining room. We have plenty of books and games to enjoy on the cozy couches, a breakfast nook that looks out into the woods, and a small upper deck for coffee or stargazing. I would describe our house as nothing fancy but comfortable and functional.

The first floor holds the living area, kitchen, half bathroom and 2 bedrooms, one with 2 twin beds and one with 1 twin bed. On the second floor are 2 bedrooms with queen beds, the laundry, washer/dryer, and a full bathroom. The master bedroom in particular is spacious and bright - enjoy birds-eye views of Champlain Mtn or star gazing through the sky lights.

Woods and Waters is located 3 miles from downtown Bar Harbor on one of the most scenic stretches of Route 3 passing between Champlain and Dorr mountains. The house has a private location set back from the main road and nestled against Cadillac Mtn, giving the feeling of living in the trees but close enough for quick trips to town or to the beach. It is <1 mile from the four most iconic and scenic hiking trails in Acadia. To access Otter Cliffs, Seal Harbor beach, or Compass Harbor, drive a short 3 min in either direction. There is a hidden stream about 1/3 mile from the house with a small pool. It is unmarked, so to seek it the finder will need to be comfortable navigating the woods. A perfect place to explore all that Acadia has to offer!

Notes: This property is NOT handicapped-accessible. For A/C, we have heat pumps in the downstairs and master bedroom and fans for all rooms. Pets considered upon request. There is parking for 2 cars next to the house. Bar Harbor rental registration #1825.

We had a wonderful time here. The place is very sweet. It is well located - outside of Bar Harbor but very close. It is definitely not fancy - but has everything you need.

Great house, perfect distance from Bar Harbor. Secluded. The water was not what it was portrayed in the picture. Not a big deal for my family but I would not use it on the opening page.

Woods and Waters - Great Place to Stay!

Woods and Waters provided a convenient and comfortable place to stay while we explored Acadia. There was plenty of space for five people and the host was polite and accommodating. The washer and dryer was a huge bonus for us. Thank you for providing this wonderful place for our family’s vacation!

Home was just as listed! Everything you need to be close to Bar Harbor but also close to the national park. House was clean and spacious, owners even dropped off extra toys for my little ones. Beds were very comfortable and house is equipped with everything you need to get your vacation started. Would stay again.

Great Home and Location

The home is beautiful, in a wooded area with lots of room for our family. It is conveniently located close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Some of our family camped at Blackwoods Campground which was just a 5 minute drive away. I would highly recommend staying here. The owners were quick to answer any questions and even had some suggestions for things to to in Bar Harbor.

Had a great time. Kids had fun at the hidden water pond. Kyle was great to deal with. Very easy check in. When we had issues he replied quickly and was helpful. Would just say the house maybe could have been a little cleaner. Overall, a good stay and super location.

Nice House

Comfortable house in a perfect location close to but outside of town. Clean and spacious, it served us well for our family vacation. Our little one especially appreciated the toys left at the house. Although the trail was not well marked, we found the water and rocks, which were amazing.The house was so nice, I wish we could have stayed longer.

Acadia Heaven

My crew came up to enjoy the beauty of nature with several planned hikes throughout Acadia. The most appealing aspect of this property was the proximity to Acadia. It was LITERALLY a 4 minute drive to the Acadia entrance and probably 5 minutes to the center of Bar Harbors shopping area. Communition with the host was flawless.

Great location. 4 miles to town and right next to jogging trails. Acadia park is close by. Felt like we were in the middle of the woods. The cabin was bigger then expected. It was clean and very nice.. It was also well supplied. It has a brand new grill and fire pit too. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice Home in Excellent spot

The location of this home was great, surrounded by green woods, right by the beautiful Otter Creek. The house was spacious and very pretty with beautiful wooden ceilings. They had a collection of books, toys, and games that my kids happily dig into. Owner very responsive to some general inquiries I had. I recommend this property and would rent it again if we are lucky enough to come back.

This house is more expensive than its competitors in the area, but it’s well worth it if you prize “bright and spacious.” It’s truly bright and spacious, and very well designed for a group. This is especially important if you think you might not be spending all your time outside.

Hiking in Acadia National Park

The hosts were superb! Communications started well before we arrived at their house on Otter Creek Drive. Everything that was expected was there upon arrival. Amazingly, hiking trails were found right out the front door. We were able to walk to other trails nearly by and made it to the top of Cadillac Mountain! We give the Spruces our very best wishes and hope that we can arrange for another visit next year.

Location - Location - Location!!!!!

When visiting Maine and Acadia National Park, there is no better place to stay than Woods and Waters! This open-concept family home is located at the base of Cadillac Mountain, steps from Acadia Park. Its location is absolutely perfect! The house has a detailed (waterproof) map of the many trails of Acadia that are left, right and all-around this wonderful property. It is a short drive (less than 4 mi) down the street to get to downtown Bar Harbor (Otter Creek turns into Main Street Bar Harbor. It was wonderful to go to downtown for the whale watching and shopping but yet retreat back to Woods and Waters for the cozy, relaxed get away in the woods. We even explored the trails on the property and found the creek and watering hole. The kids swam and made wonderful memories. Catrina was extremely responsive and helpful before and during our trip. This home is a definite YES!!!
