Great location -- walkable to almost everything in and around BH, but on a quiet side street. Enjoyed the house both as a base for excursions and to just sit and lounge when our itinerary slowed. Would definitely stay here again.

Location location location!!

Amazing location. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and harbor. The only reason I gave an overall 4 star rating is due to the fact that the bathroom on middle level didn't have a lock. Otherwise it was great house!

Family vacation to Bar Harbor

This home was the perfect location for walking any where around Bar Harbor. Even grocery store was within walking distance. Kitchen was very well stocked with all our cooking needs. Bedrooms were comfortable. Nice bathrooms. There were plenty of games for kid entertainment. Had a concern during our stay that the owner was quick to respond to and even followed up. Would definitely recommend this propert!

Some silverware was put in the drawer dirty. There were no clothes hangers in the closets. We were there for a wedding with tuxedos and formal gowns. VRBO host did not reply to this problem until the day before we left. Could not find any anywhere. Not impressed with VRBO; however. the house was as described. The location could not have been better.

Best rental in Bar Harbor!

This place offered everything we could have wanted and more. The location was perfect. We could walk to everything and was only 5 minutes from Acadia NP. The home itself was probably the best stocked rental we’ve ever stayed in. It had absolutely everything we could have wanted and more from kitchen to bathroom to grill etc. the pictures didn’t do the place justice. It is clean and updated And had more than enough room for our family to spread out. We loved it!

Bar Harbor House - supreme location

The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more. The proximity to Acadia was supreme. It was an easy walk to the grocery store, bike rental shops, the explorer bus and to Bar Harbor shops. A fun place for a getaway with friends.

Awesome in Acadia

Our whole family spent just under a week together in this lovely home with three stories and five bedrooms! The third story suite was perfect for our oldest son, wife and baby infant. House is very comfortable with tons of well maintained and stocked kitchen supplies! That’s such a gift! We cooked three nights. Bess all comfortable with nice bedding and towels. Tons of baby items to include pack n play, high chair and baby gate. Toys galore for adult games an and baby amusement. Host was super with communication and location was great. I would stay again. Enjoy!
