This home’s location is ideal for the perfect location. It is walking distance to shopping and dining, and minutes to breath-taking hiking. The hosts provide everything our family needs for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We have stayed twice and will absolutely be booking again!!
Fantastic property - easy, short walk to downtown Bar Harbor, close drive to Acadia, yet a very quiet street. Host was fantastic with ideas of restaurants to visit and sights to see. Could not have been happier
Lovely property, set up very nicely for guests and pet with the back patio and fence. Easy walk to restaurants and activities. Well equipped kitchen and very close to Acadia entrance.
Great vacation. We booked for a last minute vacation and was very pleased. Great location - walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor and a very short drive to Acadia. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Great communication from the owners (and a special treat!)Highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was organized, we appreciated clean bathrooms and plenty of towels. Also, the house has a dog-friendly fenced little backyard with a doggy door. Well maintained overall.
We had a great time visiting the area. The house was very nice, comfortable, and in a perfect location. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The owner communicated well and even checked in by text to make sure everything was going smoothly. We also appreciated the welcome jar of blueberry jam and the dog treat for our dog, Loki — such a thoughtful touch.One small tip for future guests: bring a sleep mask. The sun rises early, and even with the blinds closed, the room gets bright. Not an issue unless you’re hoping to sleep past 5 AM lol.
The home was absolutely perfect- it had everything we could possibly need during our week long stay and the location can’t be beat. It is close enough to walk into town and only a few minutes by car to Acadia. The house was very clean and Bobby was quick to respond to all communications. He left us a blueberry crumble cake that was so delicious. We’ve been visiting Bar Harbor for many years now and this is the first time we used Vrbo and were very pleased with the whole experience. We’ll definitely be using it again and staying at this house for all our future travels to MDI. Thanks so much Bobby and Sandi!
We loved everything about this home. Location was perfect, walking distance to the restaurants and shops.This home had everything you need for vacation.
Our first time to Bar Harbor Maine was a great experience. The home is in a great location and has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Location was perfect, walking distance to restaurants , shops, and a short drive to Acadia National Park.
We were once again wowed by our stay at Falcon's Nest. Bobby and Sandi are Super Host for a reason. This home has it all from the comfy furniture and beds to the most well-stocked kitchen we've ever come across. This rental doesn't feel a house, it feels like a home. The proximity to town is great for those who enjoying walking to restaurants and/or shopping. Once again, I'll be counting the days until our next stay!
This was the perfect first little getaway with our little baby boy. The location was awesome. The house had everything you needed. We would definitely stay here again.
Great for our family. Right next to ballfields and near a playground. 10-15 minute walk to the center of town. Easy parking. Can walk right to hiking trails.
The house was in the most perfect location. We walked everywhere and the drive into Acadia was extremely close as well. Especially if you’d like to see Jordan Pond and Cadillac Mountain. The hosts were attentive and responded quickly. The house was also stocked perfectly, we loved the amount of towels and blankets. The house was very clean and fit our group of 5 very well. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time. The house was very clean and perfect for our family of 5. It was great to be able to walk to Bar Harbor every day with short drives to Acadia.
Nice property and great location! Close to town and Acadia National Park. We would stay again if visiting this area!!! Great communication with host, Bobby😊
This place is wonderful. If you are looking for a place to stay, stay here. It was spotlessly clean (coming from someone who is super ocd clean that says a lot!!) and very comfortable. Close to everything and they had all the little things one needs to make it feel like home!
Had a great stay as usual. Bobby and Sandi take great care of their guests. House clean, comfy, convenient, and close to town, will be back and definitely recommend. Thanks so much
