Fantastic stay in Bar Harbor

This property was perfect for our family. The home was spacious and close to the national park. The option to rest in the middle of the day between hikes was an unexpected benefit of having a home so close to all the best parts of the park. I can't say enough about how great this home was to stay in.

We enjoyed our stay here for 6 nights with 6 adults and 1 baby. The house is very spacious and beds were very comfortable. The owner was very quick to respond when we locked ourselves out. Great location, but a little too far for a walk into town for us. Luckily we found parking each time we went to dinner in Bar Harbor. I would recommend a better shower head in master bath and additional pillows. But everything else was perfect. Thank you for allowing us to have our annual family time in your home.

Spacious home close to Acadia

This house is amazing, comfortable, and provides the amenities needed to start the stay. The location is walkable to downtown Bar Harbor and a very easy and short drive to Acadia. My group of friends enjoyed coming back to the house to relax after long days of hiking.

Great Location Just Outside Acadia NP

Our family of 6 adults stayed at this location for 4 nights to enjoy the beauty of Acadia NP. This home was in a perfect location, super close to the entrance to Acadia and also very close to Bar Harbor for dining and shopping. The house was lovely, with plenty of room for us. We prepared some meals inside the home and dined in Bar Harbor for others. We chose this home for its location and the laundry facilities. The only things that could be improved would be having a few more items in the kitchen like baking dishes and the 2 guest rooms with queen beds were a little broken down but otherwise perfect for our stay. The home was extremely clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend.

Great Week

The house is very comfortable. We found it to be a great place from which to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It is a short drive away to both the town and the entrance to the park. We enjoyed our time in this house. The check in and communication with the owner was simple and helpful. Covid restrictions have changed how owners are able to prepare their facilities and we appreciated the care given to this home prior to our arrival. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place close to Bar Harbor.

What a find

Most definitely a 5 star+++. House was absolutely immaculate. Very comfortable house. Location was the best. Less than 5 min drive to town and park entrance. Communication with owners quick & friendly. Right next to Kebo Valley golf. Kitchen is big as are bedrooms & baths. All over a super experience. Quiet neighborhood. Would define stay here again without even looking elsewhere. A gem in Bar Harbor.
