About this property

La Maisonette - Historic Renovated 6 BR Downtown Bar Harbor Home

''''La Maisonette'', circa 1886, is a beautiful 3,400 square foot, 6 bedroom home in downtown Bar Harbor nestled within Bar Harbor?s national historic district with a view of Frenchman's Bay and a beautiful 1/2 acre back yard.

Located on West Street, you are a short stroll to restaurants, shops, bike and kayaking rentals in the downtown area. Acadia National Park is just minutes away by car or rent a bike and walk to the shuttle in downtown Bar Harbor which will take you into the park to spend a day riding the Carriage Trail.

At low tide, walk around the corner and enjoy the unique experience of crossing a sand bar to Bar Island or simply walk along the sand bar collecting shells and photographing the spectacular views.

With its shingle style architecture, La Maisonette offers charm and character with high ceilings, detailed woodwork, a staircase tower, a solarium and fireplaces.

La Maisonette is fully furnished and offers a wrap around enclosed porch that provides a brief view of the ocean, 6 bedrooms that sleep 12, 3 full and one partial bathroom, WiFi, and HD TV, we believe it offers everything you need to enjoy a wonderful Bar Harbor vacation.

The house was fabulous, with lots of space and historic charm. It is on a beautiful street in downtown Bar Harbor and you can even see the water from the front porch! It was easy to walk down to the restaurants and shops, and a short drive to Acadia. The hosts were responsive. Definitely recommend La Maisonette!

Incredible, spacious, and comfortable stay

This house is ideally located, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Not one but two kitchens, an expansive living space, and ample beds for all. The bathrooms are a bit cramped but that is where I have to admit I'm nitpicking because it's a gorgeous, and gorgeously kept, house. Highly recommended for large groups.

Wonderful Week in a perfect location

Our family of 12 (ages 66 - 2) enjoyed our stay. Perfect location! Short drive to Acadia NP. Walking distance to Bar Harbor restaurants, sand bar, shopping and grocery store. Never needed to deal with parking! House is old, but we knew that when we booked it. Wonderful week.

Needs better maintenance at a great location

Great location but cobwebs, moldy showers, burned out lightbulbs, and a non-working and dirty oven put a damper on a premium-priced experience.

Everything We Had Hoped For !

This beautiful historic home was all that we had hoped for - perfect location, comfortable and clean, and very well stocked. Our only disappointment was the grill, which was ok for hot dogs, but needing to be repaired. That said, everything else about the house we loved !!

Maine Event - Our Family Vacation

La Maisonette was kind of a shot in the dark for us. An older house without A/C in the midst of summer? But we wanted to stay in Bar Harbor and it turned out to be a great choice. The house appeared to have been built in sections, perhaps during different periods so we had fun speculating on what came first. Its location (practically at the intersection of West and Bar so access to the land bridge was easy) made accessing the pleasures of downtown Bar Harbor an easy walk. We parked the cars and only used them to drive to Acadia Park for hiking and climbing. The yard out back was great for the kids to play kickball and badminton. All in all (not counting the high humidity), a great place I would recommend to others.

perfect for a family gathering

We had 12 in our family party- family members ranging from 20 to 55 with significant others stayed. The property is an older property with a lot of character. It easily held the 12 of us. Location was AMAZING! We were directly across from the sand bar connecting the harbor to Bar Island. Steps from all down town locations. Close as can be to Acadia Park. The supermarket is directly behind the house. It was perfect!

Fantastic Location

This large house was a great size for our family group of 10. The proximity to the main streets of Bar Harbor allowed the teenagers to have the freedom to shop or dine on their own. On the downside, the house needs some repairs. For instance, the roof leaked in the closed in porch when it rained. The furniture in the sitting rooms is old and can be thought of as period appropriate, but the cushions on the sofas and chairs have lost their support and are uncomfortable. While the condition of the home and its furnishings need attention, the size and location of the home make it one to consider when visiting Bar Harbor.

Amazing stay in Bar Harbor - wonderful family vacation location!

Our extended family of 7 (3 generations) had an amazing time! What a wonderful home - plenty of room, clean, comfortable, and the location couldn't be better! Steps away from the walk across the low tide bar to the island, super close to lots of shops and restaurants, easy walk to the grocery store. The 5 year olds loved playing hide and seek in this incredible house with lots of great hiding places! Also we loved reading on the front porch - great place for bedtime stories for the kids! Lots of games -- they had such fun learning to play croquet! Kitchen was very well equipped and spacious! Great to have parking too. All communications were easy with prompt responses. We loved La Maisonette and hope to return! What a beautiful part of the country - we had such fun exploring!

Wonderful!

The house was amazing for our family group of 11 people. 6 bedrooms with linens included. So much space to be together and to have alone times in various nooks and crannies. Big backyard for yard games too. Old home charm. 2 kitchens with 2 fridges. 2 washers and dryers. The best part was the location. It was such close proximity to everything in Bar Harbor. We walked into town for breakfasts and dinners and excursions. We were a block or so away from the land bridge. We were also extremely close to Acadia National Park. And the owners were responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this home! Wonderful trip.

Great Location. House needs major love.

Location could not be better. Walking distance to grocery store, bike rentals, kayak rentals, restaurants, shuttles, whale watching, tours, etc. The house has pros and cons. On the pro side, the house is roomy. The kitchen is large and well stocked with cookware. There is wifi and a nice foosball table. On the con side, the house is in major need of love. The furniture is old and very dusty and of salvage yard quality. Our group had lots of allergy issues due to dust and mildew in the home. The sleeper sofa on the porch doesn't open because the porch isn't wide enough for it. The bedrooms have a college dorm vibe... Many of the doors in the house do not close or even hold in a closed position. The house has not been professionally maintained as evidenced by a hook and eye necessary to keep one of bathroom doors from swinging open. Trust me that it's not a charming feature. The downstairs bathroom has no way to keep you private, so be sure everyone remembers to knock. The shower curtains are also dorm quality and many of the hooks are pulled out. There is a hodge podge of old chairs in the kitchen which get the job done, but you'll get a flashback to college when you rented a house that the owner had given up on. There is considerable rot on the exterior of the home and some gutters that are held up by a makeshift wooden post. That won't affect your stay, but it gives you an idea of the advanced state of neglect. If that doesn't bother you, you will love it.

Great Old House

We loved our stay. Perfect location. Grand old house with its quirks but this comes with an old house. We thought it was relatively clean, comfortable, and nice. We would stay there again. If you are looking for a pristine, modern, upscale type of place this is not it but if you can appreciate this old house you will love your stay.

Historic Location

Three generations of our family enjoyed our stay here. We loved the porch, large kitchen, and plenty of bedrooms and living spaces for spreading out. Easy walk to grocery store and sights of Bar Harbor. Expect some quirks of an old house, enjoy the sights of the surrounding historic district. Loved the quick walk to the sand bar, a great place for kids to explore in the water. Overall, an excellent choice for staying in Bar Harbor.
