The fully equipped kitchen features updated, stainless steel appliances including a five-burner stovetop, and also hosts new cabinets, shelves, glassware, silverware, and all the essential cooking utensils, so bring along your favorite recipes. After whipping up a home-cooked feast, pass into the formal dining room, switch on the gas fireplace, and gather to share a memorable dining experience with loved ones. Move the party to the extra sitting room at the staircase landing after dinner and relax on the leather couch as you recap the day.

Wonderful House in a fabulous location!
You can’t beat the location, and a private bathroom for everyone! The house is super functional. We had some mishaps with check in and the house readiness at the start of the season, but the management company fixed everything swiftly. We had 8 adults and 3 children under 5. We rented cribs from a local vendor. Highly recommend this house!

Perfect location!
This large home is perfectly located for visitors to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. The home was clean and spacious for the 11 adults who visited. It was helpful to have both indoor and outdoor eating areas. The home had plenty of house wares (a new can opener is needed!). The beds were comfortable and the linens/towels were nice. It was an added benefit that none of the bedding or towels needed to be washed before leaving! The home is attractively decorated and I would recommend the house to others. As others have noted, the plumbing in some bathrooms needs to be updated and the claw tubs could be dangerous for older adults. We were here during a very hot week and the air conditioning units struggled. It would also be helpful to note in the home’s information book, the trash days for the house and provide additional trash cans.

Great location
This is an old victorian home. It has a gally kitchen, large family style dining table, 2 small family rooms. The rooms were all very nice! The bathrooms were the only downside. The showers were claw tubs with curtains around them Very claustrophobic and the sinks were extremely old. Plumbing wasn't the best either. Everything you would want to do in Bar Harbor is within walking distance. The grocery store is around the corner. All restaurants and bars are in the downtown area about a 10 minute walk in either direction. Acadia Park is a couple of miles away. We actually rode bikes there. I suggest if you are not from a hilly part of the country you rent the electric bikes (we are from Florida and we did not. Regret that!). Overall, this house was very nice and met all of our needs.
