Acadia - Great Place for a Family to Stay

This is one of the nicest VRBO’s we have been to. It was very clean and well kept. The kitchen was well equipped allowing us to make most of our meals right there. They also had things you don’t think of bringing or can’t bring when flying like dish detergent, salt, pepper, etc. Many VRBO’s don’t have these things. Owners were very good to work with. I highly recommend this VRBO for any family looking for a place to stay near Acadia!

Fall vacation photography trip

Outstanding property tucket away in the woods on a well maintained lot with a nice finished deck. The inside was decorated nicely and well maintained. It had all the necessary items for a 10 day vacation a short distance from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was was easy working with the host on this property and would highly recommend this property to others.

Absolutely Perfect

This was the best VRBO stay that we have ever had. Everything from the home, to the amenities, down to the linens and kitchen utensils was perfect. Location could not have been better, it was secluded and quiet, yet an easy trip to either Ellsworth or Bar Harbor. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this location to anyone planning on visiting Bar Harbor, Maine

Hobo chalet

My family and I had a wonderful vacation at the hobo chalet. The location was great, just a short drive to Main Street in Bar Harbor. The house was very clean and everything was very comfortable. The decor was beautiful and we lovedwthe pictures throughout the house.

Great Acadia Chalet

We had 6 adults visiting Acadia NP. The chalet was conveniently located to Bar Harbor and the park but away from the crowds. Very comfortably furnished with loads of extras ( think kitchen staples, paper products, basic toiletries). All the equipment for experiencing a lobster dinner! A great place to stay!

Perfect location on MDI

The whole family loved this house. It was lovely and in a great central spot for exploring around Mount Desert Island. The beds were so comfy. The deck was a nice space to relax with everyone. The big windows let in nice natural light so it did get warmer in the living space come afternoon but the nice big umbrella on the porch will for sure help shade. The kitchen was nicely stocked with all the basic essentials. and Walmart is only 10-15 minutes away in case something was forgotten. It was a great home base to come back to and relax after a day of exploring!

Perfect accommodations!

This property was very clean and had a ton of extra touches that made our stay very easy and accommodating! This property was close to many things and was a short drive to all the places we travelled. We appreciated the recommendations and planned our trip with many of them included. The weather wasn’t exactly on our side, but we still were able to do a lot and make the most of our family time together! Thank you! We would definitely stay again if we travelled back this way!

Excellent location on the island of you want a quiet area!

The only issue we had was finding the house. VRBO gps address IS NOT THE HOUSE! Property owner did send info on how to get to the house but really needs to update the listing to reflect the correct address. Other than that it was a very cute, fairly clean and well stocked. Close to the entrance of Acadia. The loft upstairs is a nice touch with the 3 beds and a bathroom. The AC is mostly window units and they were a bit noisy. Beds were comfortable.

Beautiful rental

We loved this property. Very clean, beautifully decorated and has everything you need. The location was great for Acadia and the entire island. The beds/pillows were comfortable. The house has AC in every room. Kitchen is well equipped. Our trip was cut short but when in the area we will definitely stay here again. Bob was extremely easy to work with and appreciate all of his help. I highly recommend this rental.

Great place to stay in Bar Harbor

This was a wonderful 3 BDR house. Three couples in their 60s stayed there and it was awesome. The two downstairs bedrooms are sharing a bathroom and the 3 double bed upstairs room also has a bathroom. Great setup for us. It was very well appointed, nice place in the woods, quiet, beautiful, clean, new. It is as the pictures show, perhaps better. Came from Washington state. Would definitely go back.

Great central location for exploring MDI

House was perfect home base for our family (2 parents, 2 grandparents, 2 kids ages 8 &12). Plenty of room for everyone and located with easy access to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and quietside of MDI. We had bikes with us and were very comfortable leaving them outside of the house. Home itself is in very good conditon, adorably decorated, private, well stocked, and was very well cleaned in advance of our stay. Plenty of towels, toiletries, and paper goods which were very much appreciated. Internet kept up with 6+ devices on our rainy day. For the home cooks: We generally choose to cook and grill a lot when traveling. We opted not to use the onsite grill in this case. It did work, but is on the smaller side and has only 2 burners. We also travel with a nonstick pan, chef's knife, and silicone spatula.... we were happy to have brought all of these with us. Finally, we did opt to purchase a few bags of ice to have on hand.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Overly

Bob & Heather from Phoenix Arizona have 6 children and 11 grandchildren. Bob is a small business owner and Heather is a physical therapist for more than 41 years. Our favorite past time is coming to Maine, hiking Acadia Park, exploring the Coast, and relaxing (and working!) on our cozy getaway home!

Why they chose this property

The HOBO Chalet is nestled toward to back of our property for a cozy feeling surrounded on 3 sides by beautiful woods and a grassy play/relaxation area. The large front Chalet windows in front provide an open feeling with natural light and a beautiful front deck to enjoy the beauty Bar Harbor has to offer. This home is in a wonderful location, as guests can easily access all 5 harbors on the Island, Acadia Park entrance less than 5 miles away, 2 wineries within walking distance, nearby Pirate's Cove Miniature Golf for adults and kids alike. We are located only 6 miles from downtown Bar Harbor (a convenient Island Shuttle stops at the neighboring motel every 15 minutes), and if you desire to venture off the Island, we are 3 miles from other stores and restaurants, scenic drives or highways to historic sites, quaint New England towns, and coastal adventures both North and South.
