Nestled in the quiet residential village of Seal Harbor this 1910 house with spacious deck overlooks the woods of Acadia National Park. Within easy walking distance of the Seal Harbor Beach and village green (10 mins), coffee shop (5 mins), and bike rentals. Half a mile to Jordan Pond, the carriage roads, and dozens of hikes and biking trails in the park. Just 15 minute drive to hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Two and a-half bathrooms. Wood floors with area rugs, except the kitchen and bathrooms. New mattresses, sheets and towels. New couches, rugs, and curtains. Fully functional, dated kitchen. Thoroughly cleaned between every rental. There are neighbors on both sides of the house. We love our cosy home and hope you will too!

About the host

Hosted by Edith Dunham

Host profile image
My family has spent summers in Seal Harbor for 5 generations. My daughters and I have spent many winters here as well, enjoying Mount Desert Island in all weather. I love to share the beauty and magic of Seal Harbor, and I hope you have a great experience!

Why they chose this property

After selling the house I grew up in here, I bought this house from my cousins who were moving into assisted living. I love the feeling of the woods off of the deck and the quiet street. I am improving the house constantly, trying to upgrade the furniture, upholstery, and rugs. I have bought all new mattresses for the beds, new couches, a dining room table as well as the deck furniture.

What makes this property unique

Every direction you walk in from my house brings you somewhere beautiful. You can walk to the beach and the village green any time of day, or walk up the hill towards the Jordan Pond house and the carriage roads, or walk up Mackenzie Rd. to the Dunham School and the small playground.
