The Crow's Nest was the perfect place for our first family vacation. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Marge's place is cozy and had everything we needed, even a pack 'n play and a baby chair! The kitchen was well-equipped, and we loved being able to cook on the grill. The Crow's Nest is a superb location in Bar Harbor, near enough to walk to restaurants and shops, but tucked on a quiet side street. Marge's place is carefully taken care of and we felt honored to stay in her beautiful home.

We loved our stay at Crow's Nest. The location could not be better. We could walk to anywhere in Bar Harbor, but still felt like we had our own little quiet corner. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could need. Margie provides wonderful guides for the home and the area. Her little backyard was a bird oasis and we thoroughly enjoyed the back deck and views. Can't wait to come back in the future!

As busy ladies and mother's, time to ourselves is rare. We spent the weekend in Bar Harbor and the Crow's Nest was perfect. It had a homey feel, perfect location and everything we needed to get away even for a short time. Would definitely stay there again.

Host was incredibly hospitable and the rental was very clean, comfortable, and you can’t beat the location. Across the street is a beautiful playground, baseball fields, skate park, and YMCA. Coffee shops and restaurants all within a 3-10 min walk. The Shore Path along the water is a very short walk. Just can’t beat the location if you have a small family.

Cozy house, great location

The Crow’s Nest is so warm and comfortable! Not modern, but classic and has everything you might need. Love the vintage tile and skylight in the upstairs bathroom (made it feel like you are showering in a tree house!). Margie is an excellent host with great communication. Short walk to downtown shops and restaurants, and on the “right” side of town to access Acadia quickly. Loved our stay, thank you, Margie!

We loved staying here!

This was the perfect place for our family of 5 to stay during our visit to Acadia. We were able to walk to Bar Harbor and easily drive in and out of Acadia. Just the right amount of space for us inside the house and easy parking. The house is cute and charming. Access to the Shore Path is fantastic. The owner is delightful and made herself available to answer all our questions and provide great recommendations. We have no complaints and would definitely stay here again. It was wonderful in all aspects!
