About this property

Large private downtown home - walk to everything. Parking, deck and fenced yard.

Eden Villa is a spacious, in-town Bar Harbor home within walking distance of everything downtown. It is located within a quick walk of the grocery store. It is on a quiet non-throughway avenue and allows for some peaceful enjoyment from the downtown hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor in the summertime. Guests can walk to restaurants, shops, and activities easily. This includes whale watching, bike rentals, and kayaking sea tours. It is also a 3 minute walk to the sandbar. It is easy to go to dinner and just stroll home - no need to drive anywhere. The entrance to Acadia National Park is very close by.

This 3 story, five bedroom home features two king bedrooms, two twin bedrooms and one double bedroom that also has a futon. There are couches and armchairs in the living room and high speed internet and cable TV with a DVD player. The house can accommodate a maximum of 10 guests. There are 2 bathrooms (one full, and one with only a shower). Large fully equipped kitchen with all the amenities: oven, stove, dishwasher, microwave, cookware and dining ware. This house has a large spacious private back deck which has a propane BBQ and outdoor dining for 6 or more.

Other amenities include a washer and dryer, off street parking for up to 4 cars at a squeeze (which is an added benefit because parking in downtown Bar Harbor is all metered and can get expensive) and a fenced landscaped yard.

Property was constructed in 1922.

Great vacation family home

Warm inviting comfortable home with plenty of room for 10. Large family and dining rooms. Wonderful location downtown on dead end street steps away from all shopping and eateries. Quiet neighborhood. Abundance of hummingbirds. Fully equipped kitchen and laundry room. Plenty of hot water for showers. Outside deck with large grill met our needs nicely. Just a very relaxing home to return to at the end of a busy day in Town or in the Park. I've been coming to the Island for 20 yrs plus and this is the most comfortable I've been. We will absolutely return again..thanx Jeff

Great for a large family

The location is fabulous especially in such a walkable town! Beautiful older home, we stayed there a few months ago but my kids still talk about this house when we discuss our Acadia trip! It worked well for our family of 8!

Great vacation!

The house was exactly as listed. It is an older home but maintained well. The house has three floors, bedrooms on the third floor got a little hot, there is no air conditioning but lots of fans, plan accordingly as they do allow you to bring your own a/c.

About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey or Lesley Starling

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 we still had the same love for everything, so we ended up buying this home so we could be downtown and close to the park entrance. Our son was married at Thunder Hole in Acadia Park and lives on the island with his wife and daughter.

We enjoy the trails, hikes, lakes and ocean - actually we love everything Bar Harbor has to offer. We have done a lot of hikes and have even climbed the Precipice, but came back down the easy way :). Our son has created a YouTube channel with videos of some of the trails if you want to check out some of the hikes before you go. Look up Acadia365 on YouTube for great hiking information.

We hope you enjoy the house and its location. You can walk to almost every restaurant, store and bar in town without the need to drive and as you will 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 would end up at Eden Villa, within walking distance of everything the town has to offer. Just come have a good time without the need to drive everywhere. This house has a safe garden/backyard for little people and pets, so sit back relax and enjoy the town of Bar Harbor at it's best!

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location!!! Also, off street parking - no need to pay for the costly metered parking in town. The grocery store is less than a 1/2 a block away, so it is a quick walk to pick up anything you may need.
