Post and Beam Home on Meadow

Located four miles from downtown Bar Harbor and one and-a-half miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park, this spacious post and beam house overlooking a pristine meadow provides a perfect environment for you and your family to spend your vacation. The house is set well back from Route 3 providing a safe and private place for kids to play and adults to relax, while still providing easy access to the attractions of the island. The L.L. Bean Island Explorer bus is free of charge and will pick you up at the end of the driveway to take you into town, Acadia National Park, or anywhere else on the island you wish to go, and drop you off at the end of the day. The interior of the house is beautifully hand-crafted post and beam with nine-foot ceilings. The master bedroom is upstairs and has its own private bathroom. The South side has numerous windows, allowing for natural light during the days while you are relaxing in the living room.

Our home: We have a large deck with patio furniture and gas grill. Horseshoe pit on premises overlooking the beautiful meadow. Large swing set and house for children. Large back lawn.


Local Flavor:: Hold sea creatures from the touch tank and watch seals sunning themselves on the rocks. Relaxing sailing excursions are also available. Take a walk through downtown Bar Harbor, or visit the island's other small fishing villages a short drive away. With many diverse shops, you are sure to find the perfect souvenir for friends and family. Wind down a long day of shopping with a lobster dinner at one of the local restaurants. Experience the Bar Harbor nightlife with live music and locally brewed blueberry ale at any of the friendly bars in town. Check the Island Explorer schedule for a safe ride home. Feel free to ask about activities we have left out.

Perfect for our visit to Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park

Amazing vacation

As soon as we entered the home we knew we were in for a fantastic stay! We had so much room to spread out, the kitchen and the deck is where we spent most of our time though. Sitting on the deck, looking out into the meadow was amazing. The home had all the things we needed, we even cooked dinner there one night. Loved our stay and when we hopefully return to Bar Harbor, we will want to stay here again!

Perfect Distance from Acadia and Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor traffic is crazy! Was so nice to be just outside in a call, serene setting. House worked great for us. Loved all the toys (inside and outside) and children’s books for my kids. House has tons of character! Would recommend anyone stay here.

Wonderful Family Vacation

This home was a perfect private place for a small family gathering. We had ample space for game/movie night on the rainy days with room tor cooking and meals for eight. The location was wonderful for short drives to Jordan pond, Cadillac mountain and walking the Shore path for beginner hikers. The Bee Hive was for the more ambitious of group. The Bar Harbor Inn was especially nice to have lunch and cocktails while viewing the harbor and enjoying the warmth from the fire pit. Overall our family had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor and the surrounding area.

comforts of home

This is our second stay at this rental. Nice, clean home away from the hubbub of downtown Bar Harbor. Kitchen is roomy and very well supplied, large dining table, comfy couches and television with satellite and 1/2 bath downstairs. Lovely large deck that overlooks big private backyard...you'll probably spot deer. One queen size bedroom downstairs, upstairs master with king and bathroom, another bedroom with queen and a room with a twin size bed that has an optional twin mattress available (stored under upstairs queen bed) that lays on floor. Also, additional full bath upstairs. Location is about 2 miles from the Hull Cove entrance to Acadia and access to carriage roads. The owner was quick to respond to any questions or issues (which we didn't have).

A Wonderful Family Vacation In Bar Harbor, Maine

Our stay at the "Post and Beam Home on Meadow" was wonderful! We had seven adults and a small dog all comfortably accommodated at this beautiful home. Mornings were spent on the deck, watching deer wander by in the large open meadow beyond the yard, and listening to singing birds. The meals we had in home were prepared in the beautiful and well appointed kitchen which had all we needed (including a propane grill on the covered entry way. The dining room for eating and games, and the living room for lounging was perfect for us. All of the bedrooms were comfortable (the master bedroom and bath were extremely spacious). The house could not have been closer to everything we wanted to visit, but was set back from the road so we felt perfectly isolated and could her no passing cars. At night, the view of the stars (and satellites) was awesome. We definitely would recommend this home for anyone needing the space and who enjoy relaxing in the outdoors. Thank you Melanie for your help.

Enjoyable and Good Location

The home was very comfortable for our group and Melanie was great at communicating with us. My only suggestion to Melanie would be to have a nicer kitchen setup with enough matching plates and accessories. Maybe some nicer bath towels would be great too. Thanks for the stay!

Week in Acadia

We traveled with our adult children and the house was perfect. It is very close to Acadia and also to the shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor. It has an open floor plan, a big kitchen, and a welcoming back deck and yard, which were all perfect for relaxing between activities and cooking at the house. The owner was a good communicator. Overall, it was a great rental!

Great stay for families visiting Acadia

We stayed here with our extended family including a toddler and infant. The house has a long driveway so it sits away from the road and the outdoor space is wonderful. We loved sitting on the deck after hikes. There were lots of toys and a play set out back for the kids to enjoy. The kitchen was well-stocked. The only complaint is the carpet in two of the upstairs bedrooms was stained and worn, but they had replaced the carpet in the hallway and master so I assume the bedrooms are next. There is also plenty of parking - we had three cars and could have easily fit two more. It’s a perfect location for exploring Acadia. I was worried about staying outside of Bar Harbor but am happy we did - the yard was so pleasant to relax in after a day in the park.

Quiet getaway close to Acadia

This house is close to Acadia National Park, yet feels like you are far from town. It sits back from the road, is very quiet, and has a lovely backyard view. The downstairs is well suited to a family gathering. Enjoyed our short stay there.

The home was lovely! The kitchen was fully stocked and offered plenty of place for everyone to sit and enjoy. It was great being so close to Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia National park. We were even able to squeeze in one more hike the morning we left!
