Fabulous house; clean, quiet and very comfortable. Can walk to the harbor and see sunset and sunrise. Walk to Bar Island Path, grocery store, cute shops and restaurants. Acadia National Park is a short ride way. Can hike the south and north Bubbles, ride or hike up Cadillac Mountain, many hiking trails, visit Sand Beach, eat at Lobster Pound. Wonderful place. Would definitely stay here again.

Bar Harbor House - supreme location

The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more. The proximity to Acadia was supreme. It was an easy walk to the grocery store, bike rental shops, the explorer bus and to Bar Harbor shops. A fun place for a getaway with friends.

Perfect Location

We loved the house and proximity to both town and Acadia. The grocery is around the corner with reasonable prices. There are 2 bakeries and a french restaurant very close by and are delicious. The town green and the Harbor areas are a 5 min walk. We were traveling with myself and husband and 4 20’s kids and the house fit us perfectly.

Excellent rental

Overall very positive stay in Bar Harbor. The house was perfect for 2 couples. It was unfortunate that the stove had a broken knob that forced them to shut off the stove/gas but communications were very good on this problem. Property location is extremely convenient to the park and to downtown Bar Harbor (less than 3 blocks). We were also relieved that the park was open and the government shut down had been averted.

A little wedding in Bar Harbor

There were 11 people exactly at this wedding by the seawall, and, oddly enough, the dining room table could seat exactly that. (We moved the lovely desk in the foyer to the top of the table and the newlyweds sat there--and there was still lots of room to to move around!) Such a lovely home, with clean and pretty rooms. The bathrooms are so well arranged. The third floor has sets of twin beds, so it's better for children. The kitchen is well stocked (and yes, there is a lobster pot and claw crackers). And right in the center of Bar Harbor!
