A Place in the Woods
These cute home is tucked away in a quiet wooded corner of Bar Harbor. It was even better than we had expected. The rooms were thoughtfully decorated and stocked with most things that make a stay seem homey.We especially enjoyed the screen house out back. It was perfect for a quiet dinner and a place to practice my fledgling watercolor painting hobby.If I return to Bar Harbor I’ll definitely check this home out again.

Acadia Stay
Rental was clean and well maintained. It is secluded but we got everywhere we wanted to go in an easy amount of time. We were primarily hiking and it worked out great for us. Easy check in and check out which is nice. Would recommend for small groups.
