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".
