We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was organized, we appreciated clean bathrooms and plenty of towels. Also, the house has a dog-friendly fenced little backyard with a doggy door. Well maintained overall.
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 loved everything about this home. Location was perfect, walking distance to the restaurants and shops.This home had everything you need for vacation.
Our first time to Bar Harbor Maine was a great experience. The home is in a great location and has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Location was perfect, walking distance to restaurants , shops, and a short drive to Acadia National Park.
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!
Great for our family. Right next to ballfields and near a playground. 10-15 minute walk to the center of town. Easy parking. Can walk right to hiking trails.
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!
We had a great time. The house was very clean and perfect for our family of 5. It was great to be able to walk to Bar Harbor every day with short drives to Acadia.
Nice property and great location! Close to town and Acadia National Park. We would stay again if visiting this area!!! Great communication with host, Bobby😊
The house was really comfortable and in a great location. Bobby was a welcoming host and made everything really easy for us throughout the stay. The kitchen had the essentials we needed to cook a few meals in, which was a big plus for us. I'd definitely stay here again.
Another great stay at this property. Perfect location for our family of 4. Walk into town, quick ride to Acadia. Bobby is very quick to respond to any questions.
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.
Took advantage of a warm spell in northern Maine and celebrated the holiday in Bar Harbor. We've stayed at this property several times before and have always had a positive experience. Great house and great location that is close to downtown and easy walk into Acadia NP. Won't hesitate to come back again.
The house location was great- easy walk to Main Street, yet very quiet. Everything was very clean & well decorated. The kitchen was excellent- very spacious and had anything you may need to fix a meal. The beds were comfortable & we slept great after busy days. Our host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend this property for a family vacation.
The accommodations were very comfortable. They thought of everything so we didn’t have to pack as much. Our dog loved the fenced in back yard. We loved being able to walk into town. Thank you!
Falcon’s Nest is clean, well maintained, super comfortable and stocked with everything one would need. We loved the location in a quiet neighborhood, but an easy, short walk to shops and restaurants. We highly recommend this wonderful house! Thanks to Bobby and Sandi for sharing their home with us. We are hoping to return next year.
The house was clean and everything was very nice! Kitchen and bathrooms were updated and fully stocked. Furniture and beds were comfortable. TVs worked well! And the AC kept us cool during a heat wave. Definitely recommend for families.
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.
We were so impressed with this VRBO! The house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It is well-stocked with everything you need and has the perfect layout for relaxing. It's in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the downtown area. Bobby is a great host and was easy to reach. Would definitely recommend this property.
The house is perfect for a family vacation. It was very clean and the location is superb. We walked to town every night. Acadia National Park was a 7 minute drive. The owner was great at communicating with me and even checked in by text to make sure that everything was to our liking. There is nothing negative about this place. If I have to visit Bar Harbor again, I would definitely stay here again.
The home was perfect and Bobby and Sandi were awesome! Replied in minutes to any questions we had - super responsive and sweet. House is very nice and the hosts included everything we needed. We love walking so loved how we could walk into town and also walk over to the trails and do some beautiful hikes. We also brought bikes and did some nice rides. If you are looking for a lovely home, close to Acadia and town, with very responsive hosts, we would totally recommend this house.
