Great stay in Bar Harbor

We enjoyed our stay in the home. Communication with owners was excellent. House was clean and had everything we needed. We did want to grill out one night so was disappointed there wasn’t a grill but it was not a big deal. The walk into town was not bad and the drive to Acadia was fast and easy. Great home and location.

Terrific VRBO

The house was well appointed and the owner was easy to contact with questions, etc.. Kitchen drawers and cabinets were marked with what was inside and this was helpful for us to move quickly about the kitchen.

We had a fabulous vacation in part to the cleanliness and how well supplied this house was. Plenty of towels, coffee, kitchen supplies, etc. The clean, modern appliances made the experience easy. The house is perfectly located to Bar Harbor and the Acadia entrance . We spent a lot of time on the back porch. Jane was responsive, within 10 mins to all my communications. Maximum STARS all around!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, well stocked, and convenient for all our activities in Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. At the same time, it was nice to be in a quiet neighborhood away from the busyness of the town. Would definitely stay here again in the future if we return to Bar Harbor.

We were a group of 8 women and enjoyed our stay. We loved being able to walk into town. The house was exceptionally clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed and the dining table had room for all of us. Our host was very responsive when we had questions. The back deck was nice for spending time outside. There was ample parking for our 2 vehicles. There was an issue with the main bathroom that made things a little complicated, but otherwise the property was great.
