The Shore Path Cottage, built in 1880, once the summer residence of America's wealthy folk, is today a gracious, architecturally unique oceanfront home with 8 tastefully appointed rooms and a chef's kitchen. Located at the end of a quiet street along the historic Shore Path, enjoy ocean views and being minutes to town restaurants, shops, and galleries via the oceanside path. The location is ideal with a lawn stretching down to the sea, just minutes away from all of the activity of Bar Harbor!
We had a wonderful week at the Shore Path Cottage with our extended family. The home is situated in an ideal location near all the charm of Bar Harbor, yet feels quiet and secluded with large green space for children to play. Roberta warm welcome was especially kind. Highly recommend this spot for families!

Great place for a family reunion. My family of 14 stayed at the Shore Path Cottage in August 2025. The location is perfect. Sunrises are amazing as they pour into the side yard each morning. The outdoor space is beautiful and includes a wrap-around porch, an expansive grass area, a fire pit, grill, table in the yard, and direct access to the shore path. The kitchen is huge and well equipped, allowing multiple family members to prepare meals while others just hung out there just to watch the action. The Dining Room accommodated 14 of us very comfortably. Believe all of the amazing reviews!!

Wonderful Friends & Family Trip
A great house right on the water with access to the shore path (which is exactly where you want to be for walkability around Bar Harbor). We all (15 of us) had a fantastic July 4th week cooking at the house, sitting around the firepit, playing badminton and just hanging out on the porch. Formerly run as in inn, this home has a fabulous, rambling feel that is perfect for multi-family gatherings. A cherry on top is that Roberta (who lives next door) and Elizabeth are the most wonderful hosts.

Perfect Bar Harbor house
We stayed here for a week with a large family (12 people), ages 10-80. The pictures on the listing don't do it justice. It's very spacious, with plenty of room and rooms for all. Old school charm, but very comfortably furnished in all bedrooms & living spaces. We enjoyed afternoon drinks on the porch while the kids played badminton in the yard and made scores by the fire pit.The location was perfect - less than 10 min walk to Main St, Bar Harbor, or via the Shore Path. Short driving to all parts of Acadia.The owners live nearby and were very friendly, but never intrusive. All of our questions received a quick & helpful response.We had a truly memorable family week here!

The Shore Path Cottage was a wonderful setting for a multigenerational family vacation for our group of 14. Ages ranged from 9 months to 76. The location was very close to the center of Bar Harbor, with plenty of restaurants, shopping and tour companies. But it was also tucked in at the end of a quiet street and the back yard went down to the Shore Path and the ocean. The house was very comfortable with large rooms and reasonable acoustic separation which was tested by the presence of 2 babies. The kitchen was large and well stocked with pots, pans and other cooking implements. We cooked a number of meals, eating outside or at the large dining room table. There was a good selection of outdoor toys and games for the older kids ages 2-9. Badminton, volleyball and corn hole were the favorite games. They loved going down to the tide pools and walking to town for ice cream. The host was staying next door when we were there. She was welcoming and helpful when we had a minor issue. We enjoyed running, riding bikes in the park, hiking and even I a dip in the cold water. After a few of the most popular hikes in the park (Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain), we appreciated some outings on the quiet side of the island. We learned that cell service is spotty in the park, so plan ahead!

Fantastic family fun!
Fabulous place to stay. Location is amazing and the view down to the water from the porch is beautiful.The lawn was lots of fun for the children and Roberta and Liz put up a badmitton set for us. We had a blast and liked everything about it for out family. The huge modern kitchen in this charming old house is well stocked. We hiked trails in Acadia until we could not walk anymore. Everyone in our family (15 of us) liked the fact that everything in the village was an easy walk and we could also walk to bar island land bridge which was fascinating. We want to return, it was our introduction to Maine.

Perfect Coastal Home
Wonderful property in walking distance to the Shore Path, downtown Bar Harbor, close to bus routes, yet a very secluded feeling with privacy. The yard was exceptional for the little ones to run around and play, and relaxing for the adults. Roberta, Cecily, and family (property owners) were wonderful to chat with and always very helpful with any little needs or questions. The house is perfect for large family gatherings/reunions. We enjoyed our stay as it felt like home. Thanks you, Roberta and daughters for making our stay excellent!

Great location. Very attentive host
Had small family reunion here. Perfect location and the host could not have been more wonderful. There was a bit of a musty smell in the 3rd floor that bothered my relatives allergies. The kitchen has been updated but the rest of the home reflected the age of the house and in need of some TLC. Bar Harbor is beautiful and the location next to the shore path and town is perfect.

This an amazing historic house in the perfect Location
Incredible experience. The house’s sweeping lawn goes down to the shore path where one can stroll along the harbor. There is a great view of the harbor from the house. The house, which is a beautiful, historic house dating from 1880, has beautiful details and character. The kitchen is huge and well stocked. It’s the perfect place for a large group. The host was gracious and helpful. This has to be the best place to rent in Bar Harbor.

Dream Family Vacation
This was a perfect retreat for our family of 12 (ages ranging from 10 months to 65). The house was just as imagined, a very New England cottage filled with love, care and memories (well preserved by the owners). There was ample space to spread out and a bedroom/bathroom for everyone. The yard was spacious and provided a gorgeous view of the sea with glorious morning sunrises (a must do if you are an early bird). The kitchen was fully equipped and updated to provide easily for family meals. The location could not be better, private, yet easy to walk into town or bike to Acadia.
Then.... there were our hosts and owners of the home, Roberta and Lisabeth (there are more family members, but that is who we met). Absolutely a delight, responsive, kind and had wonderful suggestions for activities during our stay. We felt welcomed and one could see how much Roberta treasures her home and delights in seeing families enjoy the lovely space.
We do hope to return some day for another stay!

Perfect, or so I hear.
Unfortunately this is a second hand report. My husband was hospitalized briefly the during the week before our trip. We considered going a few days late, until we realized that he had caught Covid in the hospital. On the other hand our 3 adult children, their spouses and our 4 grandchildren ages 2 weeks to 7 years had a wonderful stay. They loved everything about the house. They found the location perfect, with the shore and tide pools in the backyard and the town a short walk away. Great for trips to get ice cream. No need to find parking. They noted that sounds didn’t travel easily within the house which was very helpful with a baby in the group. They made good use of the large, well supplied kitchen. All of this with easy access to the park where they hiked, biked, climbed, walked and ran. They would all love to go back again next summer.
