About this property

Falcon's Nest—Beautiful In-Town Bar Harbor Home, Walk to Downtown, Pet Friendly

  • (This property is registered with the Town of Bar Harbor, License #VR2R26-245) Please note, during the summer weeks and based on availability, we prefer a weekly rental with a 7-night minimum stay. All other stays require a minimum four nights per town rules.

    WELCOME TO FALCON'S NEST!

    Our charming, updated 3-bedroom home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood on a corner lot, just an easy five-minute walk from downtown Bar Harbor. You'll be close enough to walk to restaurants, shops, the Shore Path and the Island Explorer, while still enjoying a peaceful neighborhood to come home to after a day of exploring.

    Falcon's Nest is a comfortable and welcoming home for families, couples or friends traveling together. The home has three bedrooms upstairs: a king bedroom, a bedroom with two twin beds (which can also be converted to a king upon request), and a third bedroom with bunk beds that are especially well suited for children.

    The first floor features a comfortable living room with sectional sofa, an updated kitchen with a large eat-in island, an additional dining table for two, and a full bathroom. A washer and dryer are conveniently located on the first floor as well.

    OUTDOOR SPACE

    One of the things our guests love most about Falcon's Nest is the private fenced backyard. After a day hiking in Acadia or exploring Bar Harbor, relax on the back deck, enjoy dinner at the outdoor table, or fire up the gas grill. There's also a covered front porch and a private driveway for convenient off-street parking.

    Traveling with your dog? The private fenced backyard gives your four-legged family member a safe place to enjoy some outdoor time.

    AMENITIES
    Falcon's Nest is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TVs and an assortment of board games for relaxing evenings at home. The home also has air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, gas grill, deck, covered front porch and private off-street parking.

    EXPLORE BAR HARBOR AND ACADIA

    Falcon's Nest makes it easy to enjoy both Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Downtown is just a short walk away, while Acadia is only about a five-minute drive.

    The Island Explorer provides free seasonal transportation around Mount Desert Island, making it easy to leave your car behind when exploring Bar Harbor and many Acadia destinations.

    The YMCA and nearby athletic fields, including basketball, tennis/pickleball, baseball and soccer facilities, are just a couple of blocks away, making Falcon's Nest especially convenient for families. If golf is your thing, historic Kebo Valley Golf Club is also nearby. Established in 1888, Kebo is the oldest golf club in Maine and the eighth-oldest in the United States, and is open to public play.”

    A HOME THAT FEELS LIKE HOME

    We take great pride in making Falcon's Nest comfortable, clean and exceptionally well equipped for our guests. We want you to have everything you need for a relaxing Bar Harbor vacation, from a comfortable place to sleep after a day on the trails to a kitchen that makes preparing a meal at home easy. Falcon's Nest is more than a place to stay; it's a home away from home.

    Our guests consistently tell us that the comfortable furnishings, exceptionally well-stocked kitchen, cleanliness and easy walk to downtown are what make Falcon's Nest special. We have many guests who return year after year.

    We'd love to welcome you to Falcon's Nest and help make your Bar Harbor and Acadia vacation a memorable one!

We had a great time visiting the area. The house was very nice, comfortable, and in a perfect location. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The owner communicated well and even checked in by text to make sure everything was going smoothly. We also appreciated the welcome jar of blueberry jam and the dog treat for our dog, Loki — such a thoughtful touch.One small tip for future guests: bring a sleep mask. The sun rises early, and even with the blinds closed, the room gets bright. Not an issue unless you’re hoping to sleep past 5 AM lol.

We were once again wowed by our stay at Falcon's Nest. Bobby and Sandi are Super Host for a reason. This home has it all from the comfy furniture and beds to the most well-stocked kitchen we've ever come across. This rental doesn't feel a house, it feels like a home. The proximity to town is great for those who enjoying walking to restaurants and/or shopping. Once again, I'll be counting the days until our next stay!

The house was in the most perfect location. We walked everywhere and the drive into Acadia was extremely close as well. Especially if you’d like to see Jordan Pond and Cadillac Mountain. The hosts were attentive and responded quickly. The house was also stocked perfectly, we loved the amount of towels and blankets. The house was very clean and fit our group of 5 very well. Would definitely stay here again!

Stepping into the home felt like it could be a second home outfitted exactly how I’d have left it for when I return, making start up easy. The fenced in yard was a treat, and the house adorable. The location is fantastic! So quick and easy to get to downtown or the Park.

Absolutely terrific place that was perfect for the 4 of us (two couples). The place was exactly as advertised, and was in an ideal location, walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor in the evenings and a short 5-minute drive to Acadia National Park for the day. House was also well equipped for meals when we ate in. Bobby the host was incredibly attentive. When we had an issue, he not only responded promptly, he was at the house a few minutes later to make sure we could figure it out. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to Bar Harbor.
