About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey or Lesley Starling

Host profile image
We first visited Mount Desert Island in 1981 with our children and fell in love with Acadia National Park and the town of Bar Harbor. We came back in 1998 and still had that same love for everything here, so we ended up buying this home to be downtown and close to the park entrance. Our son was married at Thunder Hole in Acadia National Park and now lives on the island with his wife and daughter.

We enjoy the trails, hikes, lakes, and ocean — really, we love everything Bar Harbor has to offer. We've done a lot of hikes, and even climbed the Precipice, though we came back down the easy way!

We hope you enjoy the house and its location. You can walk to almost every restaurant, store, and bar in town without needing to drive — and as you'll soon discover, parking is at a premium and can get costly!

Bar Harbor is a gem, and we hope that you too fall in love with the island. Come and enjoy "The Most Beautiful Island in America.

Why they chose this property

"If you put a pin into the center of Bar Harbor, you'd end up at Eden Villa — within walking distance of everything the town has to offer. No need to drive everywhere, just come have a good time. This house has a safe garden/backyard for little ones, so sit back, relax, and enjoy Bar Harbor at its best! Best of all, it's on a no-through street with just local traffic."

What makes this property unique

"Location, location, location! Enjoy off-street parking with no need to pay for costly metered parking in town. The grocery store is less than half a block away — just a quick walk to pick up anything you need.
