Intown Bar Harbor Home Owned by Local Family - Acadia Entrance Around the Corner
Bar Harbor House sits right on the edge of downtown, making it an easy 10‑minute walk to the village for shopping, dining, and waterfront access. The Acadia National Park entrance to Cadillac Mountain is just around the corner. Guests can reach Eagle Lake, Duck Brook, and Witch Hole Carriage Road within minutes. Eagle Lake Road truly lives up to the name, just look up to spot bald eagles or peregrine falcons soaring overhead or nesting nearby. The back field is a natural crossing for deer, turkeys, and other wildlife that wander through. Just across the street is Kebo Valley Golf Course, the 8th‑oldest golf course in the United States. Driveway parking for 2–3 vehicles will help you avoid searching for downtown spots and paying meter fees. Secure storage is available for bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, golf equipment, and more. Inside, a well‑organized brochure wall offers maps, local information, and up‑to‑date island activities to help you plan each day with ease. Avoiding congested Acadia Visitor Centers will save time and frustration! My family has lived on the island for six generations, and we love sharing the history, stories, and hidden secrets of Acadia. Close enough to enjoy everything yet tucked away in a peaceful family neighborhood. Bar Harbor House comfortably hosts up to eight guests and a special place to gather, relax, and make lasting memories. Our home is more than a place to stay, it is an opportunity to experience the true Bar Harbor way of life.

We had a great stay! The location is very convenient to town and Acadia, instructions were clear, communication with the owner was easy. There was plenty of room for our family to have our own space and they were well stocked with everything we needed to cook, clean and do laundry. It was very comfortable!

Can’t say enough good things about Deborah, she went above and beyond to make our stay amazing and her communication was great! Definitely the best Vrbo experience we have ever had.

The Bar Harbor house was perfect for our family of 5. It was very clean and in a perfect location. Deborah communicated very well and was super thoughtful giving us insider tips and stocking the kitchen with so many necessities to make our trip more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this house for anyone going to the Bar Harbor area!
Great property and owner. Short walk to town and short drive to the park. We enjoyed eating and shopping in town. Acadia park had great trails. The property was well stocked with kitchen equipment and food.
The host is so welcoming and informative about the area. There were so many little details around the house that went above and beyond. She even stocked the fridge with essentials! Great experience

The house is great, clean and well stocked. Awesome location... walk into Bar Harbor, short ride into Acadia. Perfect spot for a family wanting to spend a lot of time in Acadia.
Beautiful home in a convenient location! Deb went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Many “extras” were available if needed, snacks, condiments, coffee, toiletries etc. A deer was in the back yard for hours one morning!
This is a lovely, comfortable, very clean home in a great location—just minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. Deb thought of everything to make the home feel welcoming. It was so helpful to have the refrigerator stocked with the basics, a frozen lasagna, and snacks and coffee for our stay. Deb was caring and kind, and she and Dan were available to help if needed.

Deb and Dan go above and beyond! This home was beautiful, clean, spacious and stocked with anything you may need for your stay. We would
definitely rent this home again if we were visiting the Bar Harbor Area.
Wonderful property with a great location. Host provides for everything. Well stocked house . We used this as our base to explore Arcadia, and Maine coast
Deb was incredibly welcoming and the house is stocked with anything that you can possibly need. It was spacious for our group of 3 families. The location can't be beat -- close enough to walk or bike into town and near the entrance to the carriage trails.
We come to Bar Harbor every year and I plan to be back to Deb's house!
Saw property online. Very convenient to park & Bar Harbor. Deb easy to work with & contact if needed. Provided us with breakfast when found out we had travel delays. Would stay there again.

There really are no words that can express how special your stay was. The house was left immaculate and very thankful for guests like you. You will always be welcomed and hope you return soon.
We loved our time spent at Deb and Dan's Bar Harbor home. They were amazing, gracious hosts and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. It truly felt like a home away from home and the location was perfect, so close to Bar Harbor and all that Acadia has to offer. I can't wait to book our next stay with them! Thank you so much Deb and Dan! :)

The Bell family will always be welcome. They are the best kind of guests you could hope for. The BHH was spotless, cared for, and respected. We probably should have paid them for cleaning assistance! Interacting and sharing local information was fun and hopefully helpful. They were so appreciative and can't wait for them to return. Deirdre and family brought us joy beyond words. Not only with the way they cared for the property but because of who they are. Our faith in humanity and "good people" was renewed. No words come to mind greater than this, thankful for such wonderful people. Their appreciation of "little things" was overwhelming. As a property owner, I would recommend them as best of the best! They came as guests and left as friends who won't be forgotten!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the home. There was plenty of room for my family of five, was in a great location, and was very clean. The host was very easy to communicate with and made our stay enjoyable. The fridge was stocked with some food for arrival, and many other items are provided as well. We hope to return and would definitely stay in this home again.
Amazing location— ~20 min walk to town and~15 min drive to Acadia hikes
Deborah went above and beyond to host us even setting us up with some starter groceries and a bunch of recommendations. House is clean and comfortable. Would certainly recommend!

Interacting and sharing local information was fun. Their appreciation of “little things” was special. As a property owner I would recommend them as the best of the best. Their visit to Acadia was short and hope they return. If so, we would be thankful to have them stay in our home. Amazing guests and much more! Any property owner would be thankful to share their home with them!!
This house was great for our vacation. It's close enough to downtown to do things there, but far enough away not to be affected by the crowds of tourists. Deb was always asking if we needed anything. The house has books of information about the island from a local's point of view. We loved our stay.
Beautiful newly built 4 bedroom home conveniently located within a mile of Bar Harbor main district. Very close to the entrance of Acadia National Park as well. House was comfortably set up with plenty of linens, cooking and eating utensils and good supply of staples. Owner has maps, tourist information and restaurant guides available to use.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the home. The newly constructed home was spotless and the owner provided some much hospitality! We can’t thank Deb and Dan more. The location was seconds away from Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor, which made it super convenient for a 4am wake up to see the sun rise at Cadillac Mountain or for dinner along the water.
Amazing place with a great location. House stocked with all the little necessities that you could imagine… from spices and coffee to laundry soap and a first aid kit. House is new and very clean. The owners reached out and provided invaluable information and tips. Would definitely stay here again!!

About the host
Hosted by Deborah Suter
My family is native to Bar Harbor and is well known to local communities and surrounding islands. I am “on deck” for tips before you come, while here, and even after you leave! Guest access to owner can be incredibly valuable when deciding what to do, where to go, and make the most of your time. My friend Dan is a professional musician who performs at many popular local venues, both solo and with the Dan Lorey Band. I love being a host because it lets me share a place I care about with people who are excited to experience it. There is something genuinely rewarding about helping guests create new and lasting memories - family reunions, anniversaries, and first trips to Acadia! Welcoming people, offering local tips, and hearing what they enjoy most brings me joy. Hosting is not just about providing a house. It is about creating a peaceful, comfortable, thoughtful space where loved ones can enjoy being together. Welcoming guests helps keep me connected to my community and local happenings. I get to support local businesses, highlight the best of Bar Harbor, and share the pride I feel for Acadia. Every guest who leaves happy reminds me why I do it. Dan retired from Mount Desert Island Hospital as a Clinical Social Worker and supervisor. I am a proud Nurse of 50 years and caring for others comes naturally. Much of my career was spent at The Jackson Laboratory before I later developed a small consulting business, Smart Case Management Solutions, LLC. My clinical background includes Occupational Health Case Management related to Workers’ Compensation and disability.
Why they chose this property
The Bar Harbor House is part of a historic, close-knit neighborhood filled with families who have lived here for generations. This is the place that shaped me — where I ran around as a kid, where my grandparents built their lives, and where many of my relatives still live just down the road. My hope is that the next generations of my family will also be able to stay on the island and continue our story here.
What makes this property unique
Bar Harbor House is ideally located, just a 10‑minute walk to the village and only a half‑mile drive to the Cadillac Mountain entrance of Acadia National Park. You can walk into town without worrying about parking or being in Acadia within minutes. As a native island family, this is our home and we genuinely enjoy helping guests experience it the way locals know and love it. I am available from the time you book through your entire stay. Having a real person available that genuinely cares about your stay can make a world of difference. My brother's shop, Little Village Gifts is listed in Trip Advisors Top 10 Best Things to do in Bar Harbor! The house is fully stocked with essentials, including start‑up groceries, breakfast items, and a frozen meal to enjoy. Guests are all set, if they arrive late or prefer not to stop for groceries on the way. There is a fully stocked brochure wall with maps, local information, and island activities to help with plans and make reservations. Avoiding the crowds at Acadia Visitor Center is always a plus. What makes our home truly special is this... people arrive as guests and leave as new friends.
