大きな魅力的なバーハーバーオーシャンビューの家。

I am a former Vermonter who moved to Mount Desert Island in 1979 at the tender age of 22, shortly after graduating from the University of Vermont. I fell in love with the ocean, the community of Bar Harbor and the park. I spent about 10 years as an over educated waitress at a variety of area restaurants including the Chart Room which was co-owned by my future husband. In 1989 I was able to hang up my waitress shoes and became the host of the Twin Gables Bed and Breakfast. I raised my two children while operating the b & b for 14 enjoyable years. But B & B's are notoriously time consuming so in 2007 we converted the house to a weekly rental and I have enjoyed more free time in the summer for park activities and the like. We summer in our cabin in the woods, about 3 miles from the rental house then move back in to the main house for the winter months.

My husband was working for the previous owner of this property when it was damaged in a house fire. The owner, after some consideration, decided to sell the house as is rather than taking on the renovations. Russ (my husband always the entrepreneur, saw it as a perfect spot for a B&B and the renovations gave us the perfect opportunity to add the private baths that B&B travelers so appreciate. Update: My husband passed away in 2020. I am fortunate that my son is able to assist me with the house and yard upkeep.

Probably my two favorite parts of the house are the kitchen window that has views of the ocean (though not as good in the summer as they use to be due to foliage growth) and the back porch which is open air and a wonderfully pleasant place to hang out in the summer. I find the location very convenient.
