The North End Of Our Restored Barn

Our beautifully restored 160 year-old barn is centrally located on Mt. Desert Island, approximately 15 minutes from the village of Bar Harbor and approximately 10 minutes from the entrance to Acadia National Park via an old farm road, aptly named 'The Crooked Road'.

The space
Our 160 year-old barn once served as the livery stable for Town Hill, a one-time farming community which is in the township of Bar Harbor. We've converted the stable into two beautifully appointed apartments -- there's no other place quite like this on Mt. Desert. Soaring ceilings, hand hewn beams, cozy bedrooms, new kitchen and baths, loft space for tv and reading with a comfortable daybed for an additional sleeping option, and a wonderful screened porch for morning coffee, afternoon reading, evening conversations, and a quiet meal any time of day. We call this half of the barn 'The North Barn'. New kitchen, baths, flooring, heating, air, insulation and all the amenities create the perfectly livable blending of old and new. The North Barn is a special place --cozy, comfortable, elegant and is one of the nicest home-away-from home environments on MDI.

Guest access
Our guests are welcomed to borrow our bikes, helmets, water bottles and bike rack for wonderful rides on the carriage roads in Acadia National Park. free to wash a load of clothes in our laundry room. We'll make sure you have maps and guidebooks for use while you're visiting, and steer you towards our favorite hikes, bike rides, swimming spots, tours and restaurants.

Other things to note
Because we're at the intersection of three Island roads, our location is great for exploring the Island. Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor and the 'Quiet Side' of MDI are all close by. Be prepared for summer traffic! Our once-quiet farm road is now a busy thorough-fare that runs from one end of the island to the other.

An Island bus service, supported by L.L. Bean, stops just across the road and provides free service into Bar Harbor and throughout the national park.

Bangor International Airport is 45 miles away -- approximately an hour's drive. The regional airport, Hancock County/Bar Harbor, is approximately 2 miles from our house and barn.

Highly recommend
Reservation process was easy, excellent communication with owner & accommodations were superior! Amenities provided were a bonus including hiking maps & information on each trail. Only negative was the location being on a main street was an adjustment hearing the traffic during the night.

Loved everything about our stay here!
Jane and Paul, our gracious hosts, do everything possible to welcome visitors: from personally meeting guests, providing a breakfast goodie basket along with OJ, coffee, yogurt and half and half in the Frig., sharing maps with favorite trails (and hiking levels) highlighted… all in all, providing a comfortable residence for your stay. The renovated barn (Hopefully, you can see the “before” pictures.) is an architectural masterpiece!. Very clean with a cozy porch and den area… don’t forget to admire the eclectic and whimsical art too! Thanks for making our stay in Acadia such a relaxing one!

A little place of Paradise
A beautiful place if you are looking for somewhere that is relaxing and in a place that is easy to get to all the sights. The couple in charge are full of information and are lovely to boot. They believe in lots of little personal touches that mean a lot. They’ll guide you in all the right directions for the most wonderful vacation in Bar Harbor.

Amazing experience
We had a delightful experience staying Jen and Paul’s place. They are amazing hosts. Gave us wonderful directions and tips for everyone. The place was beautifully decorated, super clean and very well equipped 🙏 One drawback was that there is almost no or very little sound proofing between the rooms. The experience was so awesome that I would most certainly come back again 🌺

Wonderful spot
We enjoyed the friendly greeting and the tour of the Barn we stayed in. The screened in porch was great to sit on and read, it was a little chilly to eat outside in the evening. The rooms were clean and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Anniversary Trip!
This absolutely adorable and completely modern VRBO was fantastic! This historical livery barn which was converted into a beautiful two-bedroom modern unit was better than we could have imagined. Extremely clean and they had all the amenities that they had listed and more! Owners had great communication with us and even supplied us with great maps for Acadia National Park trails based on their personal experience. The location to Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor can't be beat. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Maine. This unit met all our hopes and dreams making our anniversary trip one of the best. Laura

Late Summer In Acadia
This property is a wonderful renovated/converted barn dating from the 1850’s. Our unit featured two bedrooms with very comfortable beds, two bathrooms with large showers, a well equipped kitchen, a downstairs den/dining area, an upstairs sitting area, and a large, very comfortably furnished screened porch. A washer and dryer were available for our use, as well as bicycles. The village of Town Hill is located in north central Mount Desert Island, making all parts of the island and Acadia National Park easily accessible. We spent a wonderful week there and only wish our stay could have been longer!

Perfect Getaway
We can’t say enough about this rental. The location to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The cleanliness of the restored barn, impeccable! The hosts Jane and Paul, so knowledgeable, so helpful, provisions to get you started, maps to coordinate with your level of hiking/biking. The rental has EVERYTHING you would need. Everything about it was perfect for us, even a laundry area. Jane and Paul are very passionate about their place and they have every right to be. It is LOVELY. Thank you so very much ♥️ You have earned all the 5 stars ⭐️
