The location is PERFECT! Being right outside the Main St. are made it quiet, but walkable to shopping and restaurants. And it is only minutes from the Acadia Park Loop drive and Cadillac Summit. The accommodations were very comfortable: window A/C units and TVs in every bedroom, a full kitchen with all the appliances of home, a cozy living room area, and spacious bathrooms. In addition, our host was friendly and courteous. She even brought us a fresh blueberry pie!We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Phenomenal property and even better host. One of the best VRBO we've ever stayed in (if not the best). Perfectly located in town, can walk to anything you need, but not super close in the dense mix. Was awesome for the fourth of July to do in-town activities and near the YMCA fields for the festivities. Also easy to get into national park when you're ready to do that as well. DeeDee is a wonderful host who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and pleased during our stay. I would stay nowhere else if we returned to Bar Harbor, was that good.

Oh, wow, what a nice review. The 4th of July is always a good time to be here in Bar Harbor. We have great fireworks, as well as the other activities, that happens on that day. It was nice meeting all of you and we are happy that you left with good memories after visiting Acadia! You are always welcome at our place should you return to Acadia. Thanks again for booking with us.

We want to thank you for giving us a review and letting us know you were happy, not only with the house but the location. That is so important when people would rather leave their car in the driveway and not have to fight the traffic every time they go out. The Island Explorer Buses have started up now, so that is a big help in getting to the hiking trails, etc. without moving their cars. Thanks again for staying at our home.

The house is clean and well appointed. We didn’t need anything extra in the kitchen. The backyard is delightful in the evenings. We will definitely be back!

Wow--I think everyone had a great time !! I know the kids were happy to check out the pool a little ways from the house, even though the temp wasn't 90 degrees. It was a new adventure for them, swimming in colder water, from what they were used to. BUT-- it didn't take them long to jump in. Even though the mornings always looked a little questionable, as far as the weather, it did clear, and you were able to venture off and check things out. Lots to do here as you know, with lots of shops and good food and outside fun. Thanks so much for contacting us and taking the time to do a review. We hope you left with some great memories.

Great place to stay

The property is centrally located such that anything you need is a short walk in Bar Harbor. We really appreciated that the place is well-equipped and super clean, which made the stay very comfortable for our small family and the friends that joined us. The owner is very helpful and clearly cares about the place and guests that stay here!

Thank you, Dan and also to your family that joined you, for staying at our place for your first visit to Acadia. You traveled far, but I think it was worth it, to see and do all the things that were on your list for coming to Maine. ( I heard you even saw a couple moose up the the Greenville area) Glad you enjoyed the daily hiking trips. There are lots more that you didn’t get to do, I am sure, but maybe another time. Thanks again, it was a pleasure meeting all of you. (We are glad the kids enjoyed to Park Street Play Ground around the corner) Nice to have it so close by the rental.
