About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming 5 BDR/4BA home in the Heart of Bar Harbor

The restaurants, shops and activities of Bar Harbor are just steps away! You’ll have our our 3,000 square foot, 5-bedroom, 4 bathroom historic house to use as a home base while you explore downtown and Acadia National Park. Off-street parking for four vehicles is included. There is ample outdoor space for dining, lawn games or relaxing on the porch. Walk to everything, including grocery stores, park shuttles, the Marina, bars/restaurants and anything else on your Bar Harbor bucket list!

This 3-story circa 1903 home has been lovingly maintained over the years. Original woodwork and built-ins blend with modern furnishings and decor to make a comfortable space with a classy, relaxed vibe.

First Floor: Living room, sitting area, dining room (seats up to 12 with table fully expanded), wetbar/coffee bar, kitchen with island seating

Second Floor: Master (king) bedroom with en-suite bath and sitting area, queen bedroom with en-suite bath, king bedroom and separate full bath

Third floor: King bedroom, Bedroom with two double beds, full bathroom and children’s books/toys

The entire house, basement and outdoor areas are accessible to guests. There is a small owners closet in the basement that is not accessible to guests.

**Please note, there are no bathrooms on the first floor of the house. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the second or third floors.**

Please, no pets except for service animals. Sorry, no exceptions.

Located right in the heart of downtown, our house is on a street once referred to as “Mistress Row” or “Rotten Row,” due to it's reputation for housing J.P Morgan’s mistresses while his yacht was anchored in town. It is a peaceful residential street, but is within a few blocks of all of the hustle and bustle of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, whale watching, shopping grocery stores and more.

Within three blocks are an organic grocery store- A&B Naturals and Hannaford's (large chain grocery store) with everything you could need for your stay. This is the perfect location if you want to do most of your sight-seeing by foot, as you can easily leave your car and either walk to destinations or walk to a shuttle stop to visit points further out.

The location is perfect for walking to explore downtown. Everything Bar Harbor offers that is accessible by foot is within about 0.5 miles/1 km from the house.

The Island Explorer is a free shuttle run by L.L. Bean that has stops located at multiple areas in Acadia National Park and also Bar Harbor, including a stop at the Village Green (approximately 5 min walk from the house).

Town of Bar Harbor Registration Number VR2R22-59
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great House and Great Location!

This was a wonderful house for our extended family to spend a week together in Bar Harbor. It was exactly as described and was fully stocked from kitchen amenities to beach towels. The location on a quiet side street was perfect with everything walkable in town plus Acadia was a short car ride away. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings. We would definitely stay here again.

Family wedding

The location was wonderful, walking distance to everything including the wedding venue (Bar Harbor Inn). We have rented in other nice spots before but the owners provided many small amenities that you tend to forget about until you need them. I could say a thousand more things and it still would not be enough. Very much worth it. (And the property manager was incredibly responsive). Thank you for adding to a wonderful wedding / vacation. The Hebb’s and newly wedded Brower’s.

Great location and beautiful home.

College roommate reunion with spouses! Parking is challenging in Bar Harbor so the 3 parking spaces were priceless. We cooked in the amazing kitchen several times which allowed our large group to visit around the dining table without the bother, noise and expense of restaurants. However, many fine places to eat and shopping within 10 minute walk. Rented bikes at Bar Harbor bike shop just a short walk away. We highly recommend a bike ride (e-bikes!) on the carriage roads. Also, highly recommend the Island Explorer to get around the island. Owner responded quickly to address our questions.

This house was amazing! The location was perfect to walk to restaurants and shops in town. Quick drive to Acadia for hiking. The house is very well stocked.

A Great Rental

This house rates high on all the basics— cleanliness, bedroom/bath combinations, bed choices, kitchen appliances, etc. But it rates “spectacular on two items. First is location. It’s perfect. Less than a ten minute walk to just about every commercial entity in town but far enough away to avoid the noise. Second is provisioning. We’ve rented more than two dozen houses over a period of years and we’ve never seen anything that comes close. Every type of dish, cooking utensil, bathroom item, etc. you’d ever hope for plus things you wouldn’t expect—coffee, spices, even a bottle of wine. Highly recommend.

Great stay in the heart of Bar Harbor

We really enjoyed our four days at this beautiful old house. It was been tastefully and fully updated, but the charm persists. We were a 2 to 10 minute walk from everything in Bar Harbor, and a short car ride to the various sites in Acadia National Park. The hosts were very pleasant the few times we interacted, including allowing us to check-in a couple of hours early. We loved the house, and will hopefully stay again in the future.

Graduation Gala

Our family traveled to Bar Harbor to celebrate the graduation of our beloved first born from College of the Atlantic. The home was exquisite and beyond our expectations. I love to cook and was blown away by the kitchen—everything I needed was on hand, which is usually not the case with rentals. The property is beautiful, well-maintained, and ideal for a family gathering. We have decided to make it an annual event. 5 stars all around! Thanks for having us.

Fantastic property all around

We had the pleasure of staying here for 4 days and the entire experience was fantastic. Not only was the check-in/check-out process explained in detail, the house was very clean and full of nice amenities. We had a large party of 9 and we all fit comfortably. By far the best feature of the property is it's location. Less than a 5 min walk to the downtown Bar Harbor area simply can't beat. We were worried it might be busy and loud outside given how close it was to town but the house is on a very quiet side street so that was not an issue at all. All in all the house was perfect for a large group to enjoy Bar Harbor without needing to worry about parking. Highly reccommend!
