The home was the center of our stay in Bar Harbor and a wonderful place to come home to after days of tours, walking, and time in Acadia National Park. Each of us had our own room, the kitchen was perfect and the porches are spectacular. Not to mention the location to Shorepath and the beautiful views. Would love to return and highly recommend!

This home is exactly as listed. It is in the perfect location - one block from the ocean trail and one block from Main St in Bar Harbor. We never used a car aside from the 20 minute drive into Acadia. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We used the grill and fire pit during our stay. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area! Host was quick to respond and check in and out were very easy.

This is a great place to stay in Bar Harbor. It is very close to all the downtown shops and restaurants. But it is secluded and quiet also. We enjoyed our stay. This is the second time we have been to this house. It is older and historic, and was perfect for us. We saw the Milky Way and all the stars by just walking out to the Shore Path - about 5 minute walk. It has everything you might need, including a washer and dryer. We plan to come again really soon.

Excellent location and space for a big group

A group of former college roommates (now just a bit older…) spent a very pleasant four days here. Very clean, great kitchen, grill, and porch seating. It’s a little old-fashioned in some of the rooms, but it’s also a great price and we weren’t renting in BH to sit in our rooms! Overall we were very happy with the place.

Quiet and charming. Just right to slow dusk and enjoy relaxing

We enjoyed being lazy travelers in this lovely home. It has plenty of room- more than just the two of us really needed- but was a nice vacation spot- very centrally located. We really enjoyed sitting on the large covered front porch as well.

Family Gathering

We had a fantastic time with family and friends in Bar Harbor and this house served as the perfect spot as it’s conveniently located a block from town and a couple of miles from the Acadia National Park entrance. The house was appointed with everything one needs to prepare and serve a large family dinner. A perfect place to build lifetime memories. We would recommend this spot to all!

Perfect for our high schools friends reunion

The home was perfect for 8 women that have known each other for 60 years. There were lots of beds, bathrooms and sitting areas for all of us to gather. The kitchen was well stocked and very useable. We spent the afternoon around the firepit telling stories. The location is perfectly walkable to downtown for dinner and shopping as well as a quick walk to the ocean shore path. The house was clean, lots of towels and comfortable beds. The host was available and gave us good advice preparing for hurricane Lee. We highly recommend this property for your friends or family get together.

Great stay in perfect location

We love Bar Habor and have been several times. This was our first house. Perfectly situated with two minute walk to the water and to the heart of downtown Main Street. 4 minute drive to grocery story to stock up as well as we had the house at full capacity and had a fire going outside almost every evening. The renovated kitchen lifts the house accommodations up a bit as the rest of the house is original but super well maintained. Not every room has a “shower” but this wasn’t an issue for us and a couple enjoyed a bath for the first time in ages. I see why several comments are from families coming here for years. Kyle was super helpful as well and does a great job maintaining the property. Would definitely stay here again.

Our family of eight had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in late July! This quiet location on a shady lane is just a half a block from the Beautiful Shore path and a half a block from all the shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor. Our grandkids had a great time playing on the expensive front line and we all enjoyed relaxing on the front porch after a day of hiking, and had the chance to use the fire pit one night, which was also fun for all. Comfortable beds, great kitchen with special note that all the drawers and cabinets were labeled so that we could find whatever we needed. Kyle was a great, very responsive host as well! We definitely will love to come back and stay at this very special place again!
