Overview

The best of Mount Desert Island is at your fingertips at this countryside home in Bar Harbor, where you'll be within easy walking distance of Glen Mary Park and a children's wading pool. The center of town and the Village Green is only half a mile north, so you can walk to restaurants, cafes, ice cream shops, and boutiques, not to mention the Bar Harbor Shore Path that traces the ocean coast less than a mile northeast. The boundary of Acadia National Park is immediately south, with several park landmarks - including the Cadillac Mountain North Ridge Trail, less than two miles west; the Hulls Cove Visitor Center, three miles northwest; and Eagle Lake, three miles west.

Built in 1930, this historical home has a classic design immediately apparent on the front porch, where you can come home from hiking, kayaking, or cycling to relax in a rocking chair with a cold drink and a view of the surrounding neighborhood. Inside, you'll find a living room with sofas and a TV and a kitchen that's well appointed with white appliances that include an electric stove and a dishwasher for easy clean-up. Use the gas grill to barbecue fresh Maine seafood each evening, and find comfortable space for four at the dining room table.

Tricia M2025-08-24

This was the worst rental I have ever stayed. The beds were SO uncomfortable, they sag in the middle. I am a fairly healthy 40+ year old and my back was killing me after 3 nights in the house. The stairs were scary for anyone, but if you are elderly or have small issues with stairs, then don’t stay here. They are steep and narrow. The house had the basics, and everything worked ok, but there were no “extras”, like rugs in the bathrooms, nicer towels, and little things that make short term rentals feel more “homey”. Location is GREAT and neighbors are super nice. It reminded me of a place I stayed in college—clean enough with minimal everyday items. If company put in $3000-$5000 worth of improvements, this house would be amazing, but for $600 per night, I would expect more. Recommend staying somewhere else.

Location was great, close to downtown and a great playground. Also it was great to have a whole house for our vacation, but we would not stay in this rental again. It is completely lacking in charm, decor, and upkeep. There were holes in the walls, toilet tank was chipped, and mattresses were old and uncomfortable.

This is our first time staying in Bar Harbor that is NOT in a hotel. The location of this home is great - a 10-15 minute walk into town, no hassle trying to park. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. It's great to have a washer and dryer too! We were quite comfortable as a family of 3 in this home.
