Park, Stay, and Stroll from Right in Downtown Bar Harbor!

Park your car at our beautifully restored Blue Rose Cottage... and leave it there for the rest of your vacation. And being walking distance is more important than ever... because to park in Bar Harbor you now must be a resident or feed parking meters. But at our cottage you can relax! You're on vacation.

This lovingly restored, authentic Bar Harbor home - that sleeps 7 - is on a quiet street, yet in walking distance to all you want to see and do in Bar Harbor.

This visit to Bar Harbor was fantastic! The home was perfect for our family of 6. Being right in Bar Harbor gave us numerous opportunities to walk about. I was even able to leave the front door of the house and trail run in Acadia without having to drive into the park.Will definitely be returning to Maine!

Wonderful!

As a frequent traveler, I can confidently say that our recent stay at Blue Rose Cottage in Bar Harbor was one of our best experiences yet. From the moment we booked, Hong and Logan were incredibly welcoming and communicative, providing us with all the information we needed for our stay. The location of the house is unbeatable. Situated just a block away from Main Street, we had easy access to a variety of shops and restaurants. This proximity, combined with the short drive to Acadia National Park's stunning sights, made our trip both convenient and enjoyable. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a charming and exceptionally clean home that instantly felt welcoming. The attention to detail was evident, from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds and soft linens. As a group, we particularly enjoyed the living room, enclosed front porch, and the outdoor space with a fire pit, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Hong and Logan's hospitality shone through in every aspect of our stay. They were always available to answer any questions and even left us a delightful welcome basket, which was a thoughtful touch that made us feel right at home. Overall, our stay was a delightful blend of comfort, convenience, and warm hospitality. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or pets, Blue Rose Cottage is an ideal choice for anyone looking to experience the best of Bar Harbor. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Great in town location

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Proximity to town is A+. Basic, yet functional. Well equipped and clean. Living room space is small, as is the yard. Houses in neighborhood very close together. Served as good base for outdoor activities, yet pricey

What a great location! The home was central to everything, cuter than the photos and so well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the backyard picnic area as well as the fire pit in front.

We are four women on a getaway weekend and absolutely love this cottage. We would all come back here again. The cottage is clean and well appointed. Most importantly the neighborhood is quiet and the cottage is in a central location near downtown. So it’s an easy walk and an easy bike ride to Acadia! Highly recommend!

Living like a local in Bar Harbor.

Walk to town and harbor. 2 miles to park. Very clean and well stocked. We had a great time and had all the accessories or big hotel but all the comfort of living like a local. We live in Southern Maine on the coast in Ogunquit and had never been to Bar Harbor. We brought our 2 dogs and it was just like we were locals and very much the way we live day to day at home in Maine’s other premier summer town. We Intend to make this at least an annual trip and will definitely stay here again. Thanks Logan and Hong.

Ideal location, quiet street

Lovely owners quick to respond to questions, very organized and full pf helpful advice. Thank you! We loved Bar Harbor, this property was within walking distance to the Town pier, restaurants, and coffee shops. The hot showers were great, water pressure was very appreciated. The 2 Roku/Apps TV required our passwords which we didn't have, but our dgt remembered hers, it was an important week of news. Also loved the keyless entry which worked great.

Simple but good

We stayed in mid-June - had some meals outside on their picnic table. Entire house was clean. Was fun to arrive and find some snacks waiting for us. And they let us know where to take our recycling - as tossing it in the garbage seems so wrong. House is tiny but was fun to stay in. Tucked away on a side street and neighbors were very quiet. Was nice to have two parking spots and easy walking distance to anything in town.

The property is located a very short distance from town, with great parking, yet still on a quiet street. The girls I was with said it was the best Airbnb they had ever stayed at, and they are well travelled. The cottage was very clean, had comfortable beds and pillows, lots of towels and every kitchen item you could possibly need for a great stay. We were able to visit Acadia Park and enjoy the fall colors. Host offered great advise for dining and activities. We highly recommend this place to everyone. We plan on returning.

Great location!

Clean, comfy beds, nice dishes, ample pantry supplies, nice fire pit area. Plenty of hot water. Tap water tastes great. This is an older home with updated kitchen and bath, but has squeaky wide pine floors, sparse electrical outlets and dim lighting in bedrooms. Only master bedroom has closet. It took some coordination sharing one bathroom in the AM for 3 women on a girls weekend getaway (dim lighting in bedrooms). The fourth bedroom with the twin bed has an exterior door (and is connected to/accessed through the other downstairs bedroom). Home is I n a quiet neighborhood, small lots, houses close together. On street parking requires resident permit but home has 2 off street parking spots. Overall great stay. Great location for walking into town. Would stay again.

Charming stay at Blue Rose Cottage

Hong and Logan were super communicative hosts and seem to really care about providing a great experience for their guests. The cottage was charming, cozy, and spotless upon arrival and a nice bottle of rose was awaiting us on the kitchen table. Linens and towels were of a nice quality and soaps, toilet tissue and paper towels were amply supplied. We loved being able to walk easily to everything we like to do in town and access main roads to the park and other harbors easily when we would need to drive. A nice little find in the heart of Bar Harbor!
