Located on a side street in a quiet neighborhood in downtown Bar Harbor with off-street parking for one vehicle. It has an open floor plan & hard wood floors throughout. All new appliances. There are 2 bedrooms - 1 with a queen, - 1 with a single twin bed and pull out trundle (max 100 lb), plus a queen sleeper sofa in living room. A port-a-crib is available.

We are also within walking distance to the Village Connector trails into Acadia. Compass Harbor and the ruins of George Dorr's family home are just a few blocks south. The Schooner Head Path is accessed off the Compass Harbor Trail. The Great Meadow Loop is accessed off Cromwell Harbor Road, just north of the ball fields. It connects to Jesup Path, Dorr Mountain, Homans Path, The Great Meadow Trail, Kebo Connector Trails, and much more. For winter visitors - Acadia National Park is a winter wonder-land! Hiking (crampons a must), XC Skiing on groomed trails in the park, snow-shoeing, skating, ice-fishing, & sledding are all in the mix. BUT PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR VERY RUGGED, ICY CONDITIONS IF HIKING ON ICE AND TO ANY ELEVATION!!! CRAMPONS AND ICE GEAR A MUST! Winter night skies are hypnotizing. We have the darkest skies east of the Mississippi. If you are interested in astronomy and star-gazing - ANP is your place! MDI & ANP are under appreciated in winter! Do yourself a favor and come to this magical frozen place!

Kitchen was well equipped. Furniture was quite shabby. Locations was excellent!

Well that's a first. My sleeper sofa, and the beds, are 3 years old. I have recent reviews saying the beds are very comfortable. Many of my pieces are antiques and flea market finds.
It's called shabby chic... everything is clean and I have never had anyone describe my place as shabby.
The living room carpet is beautiful braided wool from LL Bean. My linens are of the highest quality.
I, and every other of my former guests, would beg to differ.
I'm sorry it didn't live up to your standards.
Maybe stay in a hotel next time.
This property is wonderful with comfortable beds and a lovely set up. We loved staying there and highly recommend others stay there. It is close to the Village Green, a variety of restaurants, and the harbor. Everything is walkable. Owner Susan is lovely and easy to deal with.
This was a very cozy and comfy place to come back to after some long, cool, and sometimes rainy hikes and outings. Location is great as you can walk to all of the great places in Bar Harbor while staying on quite street. Susan was a great host who was very responsive and friendly. If we ever make it back to Bar Harbor, I would definitely stay here.

Thank you so much Jeff! I hope all went well at MMA.
Take care!
Susan messaged me throughout our stay which was helpful because of the weather. The place was immaculate and very warm and welcoming. Super convenient to downtown area. Loved it
Well located and convenient to everything in Bar Harbor period it had a great washing machine and we found it to be comfortable especially with the free parking
We loved every second of our stay here! It was cozy, clean, and at the greatest location you could ask for- within a 5-10 minute walk of everything in downtown Bar Harbor! Thankful for the host's great communication about rules and check in/out as well. We can't wait to be back!
Clean and comfortable, great location. One block off main street and walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. Close to the park, easy check-in, good communication. HIGLY recommend this property.
Perfect downtown walkable location. The house was so cute and comfortable for 3 of us. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner a couple nights, and it was a great perk to be able to do a load of laundry too. We would definitely stay here again!
The place was perfect for 3 nights for our active family of 4. It is convenient to restaurants, shops, waterfront, outdoor equipment rentals, and it was a moment’s drive into Acadia. We can’t wait to return!
The place was exactly what we needed for my family and the location was so close to everything (Bar Harbor and Acadia). Susan was also very communicative and great to work with throughout the whole process.
The location could not have been better for a Bar Harbor stay. We were able to explore the town and get to restaurants and the grocery store easily on foot. It was a great home base for our Acadia trip.
We had a terrific stay. We loved being near downtown, walked to get coffee every morning, and enjoyed our evenings reading in the living room. Would absolutely recommend!
