Bar Harbor Suite Under The Eaves

Our 1847 farmhouse is centrally located on Mt.Desert Island. A private entrance leads to an upstairs, sunlit, suite with a queen bedroom, living room with futon, private bath, and kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, toaster, coffeemaker.

The house and stable, which once served the livery needs of Mt. Desert, are located on one of the major island roads. Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor and the 'Quiet Side' of MDI are all close by, but be prepared for summer traffic.

The space
This newly renovated suite is tucked under the exposed, hand hewn beams of this 1847 Cape. Bands of the original timber-framing have been left exposed; wide plank floors have been newly refinished. The bathroom and kitchenette are brand new. The suite is bright, well-lit, and warmly and comfortably furnished. Wifi is available.

Guest access
Our guests will enjoy the entire upstairs floor of our house, with a small sitting deck at their private front entrance. The stairs to the second floor are original to the house, which was built in the 1840's, so they are a little steeper than usual. Ample parking is available.

Other things to note
Directly across the road you'll find a well-stocked general store -- some of the best sandwiches on the island -- a brew pub and barbeque restaurant.

Country roads that are great short-cuts to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park end right at our property. We're located in the township of Bar Harbor but not in the busy hub itself...Our location is on one of two main roads on the island. The good news is that we are centrally located for exploring all parts of MDI. The entrance to Acadia National Park is 5 miles away. Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Seal Harbor and the rest of Mount Desert Island are all easy to get to from our location. The downside is that the road is busy and there is traffic noise.
