The house was very clean. We check in on Thursday. Friday morning while cooking breakfast we noticed a small leak in the ceiling. I texted Steven and he was there with a plumber shortly after. We were down a shower for the weekend. He was very sorry for that happening, but it was beyond his control. And we made it work. We would definitely stay there again!!!

This house was so excellent. Great location in a beautiful town. Steps from anything we wanted to do. The house was immaculate. The very best most unique thing was that it was the best stocked house I’ve ever been in. Need salsa? Got it. Mosquito spray? There it is. Any dishes we needed were there. Toiletries, games, books. It was just fantastic. Highly highly recommend! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!

Great location -- walkable to almost everything in and around BH, but on a quiet side street. Enjoyed the house both as a base for excursions and to just sit and lounge when our itinerary slowed. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and harbor. The only reason I gave an overall 4 star rating is due to the fact that the bathroom on middle level didn't have a lock. Otherwise it was great house!

Family vacation to Bar Harbor

This home was the perfect location for walking any where around Bar Harbor. Even grocery store was within walking distance. Kitchen was very well stocked with all our cooking needs. Bedrooms were comfortable. Nice bathrooms. There were plenty of games for kid entertainment. Had a concern during our stay that the owner was quick to respond to and even followed up. Would definitely recommend this propert!
