Amazing Long Weekend

My friends and I had a wonderful long weekend in Bar Harbor. The house was amazing. Super close to downtown Bar Harbor and the National Park. DeeDee and Scott were super helpful and welcoming. We hope to visit Bar Harbor and stay here again!

Perfect House for us

My husband and I brought our children and their significant others for a week vacation in Bar Harbor/Acadia. We stayed in this lovely home and it was perfect for us! Walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor shopping, eating, sightseeing, nature cruising, land bridge walking and also a 5 min drive into Acadia for hiking and Kebo for golf. House had everything we needed and fantastic water pressure. Numerous thoughtful touches throughout the house. Scott and Dee Dee were great! Close in proximity if you need anything, but not overbearing at all. Dee Dee even made us cookies one day! What a treat! Would 100% stay here again.

Very comfortable home close to everything in town

Easy to just park and walk into town and very close drive to 2 entrances to Acadia National Park. There are 2 off street parking spots. The house was quiet inside and bed were comfy. They had fans and window air conditioner units which some rentals here do not. The owners checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed a couple of times during the week. Having 5 bedrooms is nice if you have a group. Kitchen is stocked well. There was a farmers market across the street in The YMCA Parking lot on Sunday. There was also a basketball hoop and skate park there. Nice linens for shower and shower pressure was better than mine at home. And no problem with hot water even with multiple showers or at the same time in the 2 bathrooms. Very clean and comfortable. Outdoor patio with a grill and plenty of chairs and fire pit available as well. Would definitely return.

Very comfortable and quiet

Though this property was in down town bar harbor, it was at the end of Main Street. It was quiet and yet close enough to walk to the shopping district. Host was very helpful too. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay in Great Location

The rental was perfect for our group of ten to explore the area. It was so nice to be able to walk to everything Bar Harbor had to offer with just a short drive to Acadia. Home was so clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. The owner also checked in a few times to see if we needed anything and was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend this rental.

Great place to stay

The property is centrally located such that anything you need is a short walk in Bar Harbor. We really appreciated that the place is well-equipped and super clean, which made the stay very comfortable for our small family and the friends that joined us. The owner is very helpful and clearly cares about the place and guests that stay here!

Wonderful stay in Bar Harbor

The property was spotless upon check in. Location is simply perfect - 5 minutes walk to town center, less than 10 minutes drive to Accadia National Park. The menagment was very attentive and friendly, going beyond expected to insure we enjoyed our stay.

There were 8 of us and we all loved it. Perfect location as you can just walk to town. Very clean and the owners were wonderful. They lived near by and only stopped in to make sure we didn’t have any questions.

Great house for a big group!

This house was fantastic! It's a quick walk to main street, and only about 10-15 minutes driving to Sand Beach inside Acadia National Park. Super clean, nice backyard, plenty of sleeping space, tvs in every room, wifi...we all really enjoyed it!

Great location and clean

We were within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. The house was very clean. With nine of us staying there we were a bit concerned with it only being 1600 ft.² and only two bathrooms, but it worked! The only downside of the house to me was that the Wi-Fi and phone service was extremely sketchy. The parking was tight for two cars and we had to get special permission of where to park the third. Otherwise it was great!

Family vacation to Bar Harbor

The house and location were perfect for our family vacation and hiking adventures at Acadia. Everything was clean and comfortable. We loved being able to cook breakfast each day and come back to a place with plenty of space to relax after a long day in the park. A quick walk gets you to the beautiful shore path and the many shops and restaurants. The owners were wonderful and ensured everything was taken care of. Great spot!

A Wonderful Stay

DeeDee and Scott were wonderful hosts. Their home is impeccably clean and super comfortable. They were always available for any questions we had, and they made sure we had everything we needed after each day of spectacular hiking in Acadia. On one of these days we found a delicious blueberry pie waiting for us! We highly recommend this lovely home. And we loved the accessibility to restaurants and grocery stores, just a short walk away. Can't wait to return!

Wonderful Vacation House with Amazing Owners!

Bar Harbor/Acadia is our favorite place in the world and we were fortunate to spend a week in this wonderful house. The whole family agreed that it was the best house we have ever stayed in! First the house was exceptionally clean! It was so well stocked and the owners couldn't have been nicer. DeeDee and Scott were so accommodating and attentive. The location was perfect. It is located right downtown and around the corner from the neighborhood park. We definitely hope to stay there again in the future!

We have been coming up to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park for years. We all agreed that DeeDee and Scott are the best hosts we have ever had! They are kind, caring, and very responsive. The house is in a perfect location. The house is cozy, homey, and VERY clean. The house has all the amenities that you could want. We hope to continue to stay with DeeDee and Scott for years to come.

Great VRBO Experience!!

My family and I really enjoyed our first-time vacation experience in Bar Harbor, Maine at Dee's place! She and her son worked to make our entire stay a pleasure. The amenities were wonderful and the location was close to Main Street and the Downtown Bar Harbor area. With 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, a living room, dining area and kitchen, we had plenty of space for the 6 of us. We also enjoyed sitting at the outdoor firepit! This VRBO is right next to the YMCA, ball fields and a playground, so it is idea for the entire family. I would highly recommend Dee's Place!!

Comfortable house in a great location

We had a blast visiting Bar Harbor/ Acadia National park. This house is in a great location. The little ones in our group love the short walk to the ice cream place around the corner, about 1 block away from this house. This place also is within walking distance to many restaurants and shops in Bar Harbor. DeeDee and Scott are great to work with. Our multi-generation family of 10 fit comfortably in this house. The only thing that I wish I could do while staying here was to be able to bring home my restaurant leftover, specifically lobsters. Deedee was worrying that other guests may have allergies to shell fish, so no lobsters are allowed in the house. Other than that, it was a great place to call our home away from home.
