Such a convenient location in Bar Harbor. Easy walk to restaurants, grocery store, and shopping. A five minute walk to the village green to catch the Island Explorer buses into Acadia. The house was nicely updated and very clean. We loved the bee theme. The mattresses were soft (in case you have a preference for soft or firm). The washer and dryer were both clean and large. Shampoo/conditioner/body wash were provided in both bathrooms. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great visit in Bar Harbor and the property made it possible. Perfect location (within a 100 yard walk to the main grocery store), a short walk into the main section of town for restaurants, bakeries, and ice cream parlors and other shops, and a two car parking space for cars. Very convenient to visit Acadia for beautiful hikes from easy to strenuous. The home is very comfortable and met all of our family's needs. A large kitchen, comfortable living room and comfortable bedrooms.We highly recommend it.

Great location, great old house

This house is perfectly located for a stay in Bar Harbor. The house was very clean, and well-equipped. It is an old house but has been updated in the kitchen and baths so it is very comfortable, and the owner was very accommodating to our needs. Thanks for a great stay.

The Honeybee House was originally built in the 1920's along with many other houses in down town Bar Harbor. With renovations in 2007 and 2014, we've done our best to maintain it's historic charm while making it more convenient for modern living.

Charming house in a perfect location

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The house was even more charming than it looked in the pictures. There were oodles of clean fluffy towels, a very well stocked kitchen (spices, dishes, pots and pans, etc) and we were right in the middle of Bar Harbor. And Jen, the owner, was very helpful and proactive on communications. A great stay!

Thanks for your review Sarah! We're so glad you enjoyed the home's location—being right behind the grocery store and just a short walk to downtown really is convenient. I appreciate your patience with our Roku box having a technical tantrum. I’ve never seen one fail before and instead of resetting the system, I just went and bought a new one, so we shouldn’t have any troubles moving forward. Thanks again for understanding that sometimes things like this happen that are out of our control and we’ll fix them as soon as we can (given our remote location and the challenges that come with that!) We hope to welcome you back in the future!

Great location in Bar Harbor, comfortable

Loved that we could stay parked at the house and walk to the Bar Harbor restaurants and shops. Very short drive to Acadia National Park. The beds were very comfortable; fluffy towels; well-stacked kitchen (not that we cooked much). One note we left to the hosts was it may be helpful to include a small ice chest for guests to use to bring lunches into the park if interested.
