Unique property in terrific location

Very old house with some quirks but extremely functional and nicely decorated. Double sinks in the bathroom with lots of room for your things. Comfortable queen bed. No air conditioning but lots of windows, a fan in the bedroom plus a tower fan. We thought that might be a problem but house was very comfortable in August. House is a 6 minute walk to the free shuttle service that will take you anywhere you want to go in Acadia. Five minute walk to shore path which is a beautiful way to walk downtown. Easy walk to lots of restaurants and shops. You literally do not need a car. Very responsive owner! Definitely recommend.

Walking distance to town

Ruddy provided excellent communication before our stay and we found everything in order when we arrived. Bar Harbor is a super cute town with adorable streets and cottages. Unfortunately, this street was not as adorable as some. The house was nice, it was close to town, and very walkable. It is just that the houses around it were not quite as charming. However, we did enjoyed our stay. We are also VRBO owners of a place in the Rockies, so we are probably more particular than the average traveler.

Very comfortable and great location

We enjoyed our stay very much, the location is outstanding for walking to town and having the ability to park our car there was a nice feature. I also sprained my ankle in Acadia and the hospital was very convenient to the location as well! Kitchen had everything we needed except a pizza pan, maybe we shouldn't have bought a pizza at the grocery. All and all a great stay!
