This place is amazing! Spacious, clean, great location. You can cook all your meals in the very well-appointed kitchen. It’s close to Bar Harbor and Acadia, but is far enough away from the hustle to escape from the noise and activity of town. Patricia is a great host, and answered any questions quickly. All her small but special touches were so thoughtful and appreciated. Other hosts could learn a few things from her. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if we ever come back through Acadia, would absolutely stay here again. Absolutely recommend.

Beautiful spacious property. Owner very helpful and accessible. House very conveniently located to both sides of Island. Lots of room inside for privacy and group get togethers. Loved the chickens and ducks and the Chipmunks and the deer just outside. Second visit to this property.

Wonderful House and Host!

My husband and two of our adult children with three grandchildren had a wonderful stay at the Orchard House. Tricia was a wonderful host who answered any questions I had before and during the trip. The house was large, bright and clean. We loved our stay and it is so close to Acadia, downtown Bar Harbor and some great places to eat. Our grandkids loved watching the ducks and chickens and walking around the yard. Tricia has thought of all the details, big and little and there was nothing we wished we had! We would 100% recommend this house!!!

What a nice place to stay. All the items we needed, large and small. We played cards at night at the big table, easily cooked meals, had easy access to Acadia, Bar Harbor and other fun places. Beds and bathrooms were great. Spacious, attractive, comfortable, clean, owners quick to respond.

Great stay!

Overall, terrific property and one I’d recommend to any family. Close proximity to Bar Harbor and sits in a quiet neighborhood tucked away from any noise. It’s a bit of a compound where there’s 3-4 houses that share the same driveway which is the only thing that makes it not completely private.

Our family enjoyed the house with a large yard and deck. The house provides great sleeping options and bathrooms. Every area of the house was wonderfully decorated. The owner was lovely and if needed she was there to help us with any questions or hiccups. Best yet, the location to the park and downtown Bar Harbor, was perfect.

This home is spacious. I will say it needs some updates better cooking area stove stop. We like to cook even on vacation. The back yard is nice the ducks and chickens that passed through were very entertaining. It is close to Arcadia and down the street is a restaurant on the water. Host is spectacular

Fabulous!

The house was perfect. It was spacious and clean. They even provided Q-tips and makeup wipes! The location was only 1-mile to the visitor center and about 3-miles to Bar Harbor. The neighbor's chickens and ducks were an added bonus, as were the deer & fawns found wondering the yard.

MAINE - THE BEAUTIFUL

This property is a great house for 5 couples to stay in when it is cool outside. The back patio is relaxing in the shade in the evening. If you want to shuttle into town, the Island Shuttle picks you up at the end of Crooked Rd, just a short walk. The neighbors are close, but never bothered us and were friendly. I would stay there again to go to Bar Harbor, and stay at the outskirts of town.

Nice, roomy, clean, and well-stocked house! Good Wi-Fi. Listing represents the property well, except for the 3rd floor bedroom – no access to the little patio BUT there is a regular double bed up there rather than a futon, which was a nice surprise. 21-year old was very comfortable up there. All the bedroom windows face east, and there is a rooster on the property, so may not be ideal for light sleepers who want to sleep in. I was concerned about the lack of air-conditioning, but it was fine. When the high was in the upper 70s, the house was comfortable. When the high was 85, the house was a bit uncomfortable for a few hours, but not unbearable, and became comfortable after the sun went down. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms and several box fans (provided) helped a lot with cooling.Great location! Easy walk to catch the Island Explorer bus or go to 2-3 restaurants nearby. We had a nice meal at Bar Harbor Lobster Bakes and took the bus to the Village Green multiple times. Walking (or running) to the visitors center and park was doable but involved a short but busy stretch with no sidewalk. One member of our group did this twice to run on the carriage roads. One of our most enjoyable meals was a quick jaunt to Atlantic Brewing and Mainely Meats BBQ on Knox Rd. The 18- and 19-year olds in our group played several rounds of mini-golf at Pirates Cove just up the road. Super easy to get into the park and to other parts of MDI by car from here!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! The house was perfect for our family of 13, ages 9 to 74. Spacious, lots of window light, and beautifully furnished. The wall decor was fascinating and I kept seeing new things every day. Trish, the owner, is absolutely lovely and so gracious. She would have done anything for us, but we couldn't think of a thing we needed! She had already covered every little detail. We ate all of our breakfasts and dinners at the house and couldn't have asked for a lovelier kitchen. It was very well stocked with every utensil and appliance we needed. We took a brief drive to the Hannaford Supermarket for supplies. There was a smaller dining area for the 6 adults, and a table in the great room for the kids to eat and play games. Although it was only a few miles from downtown Bar Harbor, the house itself was in a rural setting. There was an old apple orchard in the back and a beautiful deck to sit and enjoy it. There were chickens and ducks and deer wandering around and that never got old. We took several walks down to Hull's Cove, where the kids had fun hunting for treasures... shells,crabs,etc.. There was a coffee shop and a restaurant at the end of the driveway. Some of the highlights of our trip were Northeast Harbor, Bass Harbor Head Light, Cadillac Mountain, Thunder Hole, Asticou Terraces, Thuya Gardens, Asticou Azelea Garden, Wonderland Trail, Land Bridge to Bar Island, downtown Bar Harbor shops, and a day trip to Campobello Island in NB.

About the host

Hosted by Owner Patricia Ropp

Host profile image
The Orchard House, our home, began as a small photographers cottage down on the shore in Hulls Cove. Some time around the early 1900's the cottage was moved up to the orchard.

It escaped the Great Fire of Bar Harbor in 1947 but burned to the ground exactly 50 years later in 1997. We rebuilt the house, bigger this time because our family was growing and now the house's story has seen another change.

We look forward to welcoming guests to the Orchard House and for you to enjoy the house and its surroundings and become part of its story too.
