This is the perfect place to stay to be close to everything. It’s clean and quiet and perfect for one or two people and their pet! Ann is a lovely host and leaves a nice welcome basket and makes sure the pets are taken care of too with bedding and treats. Thank you for another great stay Ann!

Bar Harbor Pied a Terre

Comfortable, attractively furnished, and well outfitted living room/kitchen with bedroom, a few feet from Bar Harbor's square. We were warm and cozy during to two stormy spring days but were still able to enjoy Acadia walks.sti

Lovely place right in Bar Harbor

We stayed in early October 2024. The place was very clean and tidy, and perfectly suited our needs. The location is perfect, right in downtown Bar Harbor near lots of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great Stay in Bar Harbor!

Our stay was amazing! You can't beat the location as you are right in the center of town, close to food/shopping and a short drive to Acadia National Park. Although you are right in town the unit was very private and quiet. Ann was great and very welcoming! This will be our main stay for our annual trips to Bar Harbor moving forward!

We had a wonderful experience at Ann’s place for a week. Ann’s lovely, we didn’t need anything while we were there so our contact was limited but she is very hospitable and available if needed. She even sent a message because we didn’t pull into the spot all the way to give us an heads up about deliveries and we were able to pull in more to ensure we were out of the road. We drove in from pretty far and there was a lovely welcome basket with a welcome page. Ann had great instructions that were clear and easy to follow. Ann’s place is a great size- had everything we needed in a little cottage, including plenty of books about Acadia, and what a treat to have the fenced in patio, our pup loved laying outside and sunning. We drove and found the kitchen to be well equipped to cook a few nights. It’s a huge bonus to have a parking spot and the location in bar harbor was absolutely perfect for us, there was a few areas for our dog - 2 parks, the shore path, and bar island path. We were even able to walk to the great meadows loop trail for about a mile which is technically Acadia park. We came to hike, and walk around the shops - Ann’s place was perfect for all of these things. A 5 minute drive to Acadia, not having to drive around downtown Bar Harbor - we were able to walk everywhere we needed. Ann also has an excellent selection of books and plenty of open space for our suitcases etc. We had such a lovely time - I can’t recommend it enough or Ann’s place - thank you Ann!

Best spot in Bar Harbor

We were so lucky to snag a week to stay here again. The location is perfect = on the village green, just steps from the free buses and the best smoothie restaurant and even closer to Cafe This Way. But the location is quiet and the bedroom in the back of the apartment, so we heard nothing at night. The laundry allowed us to pack lightly, and with a full kitchen, we only ate out once daily. The welcome basket was a warm, lovely addition to nourish us after a long drive to Maine. Highly recommend!!

In the heart of it all, yet quiet and comfortable

Loved the location and the parking. I was worried when I pulled in that the location (right next to the town square and across from a busy café) would make for a noisy vacation, but we love it. Quiet, but yet in the center of town. While others drove in circles looking for parking, we pulled right into our space and had access to all Bar Harbor had to offer. Ann provided us a great basket of local goodies for our stay. I would definitely recommend this for a couple looking for great hiking, yet the easy access to restaurants and activities (we could walk to both kayaking and the lobster boat ride). Clean and comfortable. I'd definitely stay again.

The location is perfect... directly across the street from the Village Green where you catch free buses to all over the National Park and other sites on the island. We drove a rental down from Bangor, parked the car and didn't drive again until return. Places to eat all over the place - some literally right outside the door, most others within just blocks. Unit has a nice little paiio with beautiful flowers and host provded a very nice basket with treats that we appreciated. The unit seemed well kept and we were comfortable there.... no issues. Recommend "This Way" for breakfasts - just 100 ft away. Also, Havanas was excellent (spanish), the Bar Harbor Lobster Pound (took the free bus there and ubered back as a little out of town).. and the Annex (Side Street) for a burger and live music when you've had your fill of lobster. A short walk down in the hill takes you to "Balance Rock" and great view of the harbor... Loved our trip to Bar Harbor and were very happy with staying in this unit.

The property needs some work. Knobs on dressers came off in my hand. I don't think anyone has cooked in the kitchen for decades. The pots and pans were not in good shape. There are lots of tripping hazards in this older property - I brought night lights with me and was glad I did. The location is excellent, but the property is older and not in the best of shape. The owner is very nice and available. The pictures depict the property accurately.

In the hub of Bar Harbor

The property is ideally located, right in downtown Bar Harbor with its own parking space-a big plus. It was perfect for my husband and me and a short walk to restaurants, shops and the harbor. The bathroom is a nice size. There is a washer and dryer available right behind the bathroom. The kitchen was adequately equipped. There was plenty of closet space. Overall, a very nice property.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Anda

Host profile image
After living in NYC for what must have been ever, I finally retired to this amazing place in 2001. And what a good decision that turned out to be. I love living in Bar Harbor year round, hiking, biking, skiing, going to Reel Pizza across the street for my bi-weekly movie fix, and sometimes I even have one of their delicious pizzas.

Why they chose this property

When I visited Bar Harbor in l976 the good Doctor Cameron offered me his house and office for sale. He was no longer doctoring and I fell in love with this old rambling, interconnected piece of property. I would come up here from NYC and garden on long weekends and vacations. Planting trees, flowers, bushes. But all too soon it was time to go back to my day job and I had to put everything away for the next time. Which was never soon enough. During these infrequent visits I also started the many renovations I've done to the property. It was a treasure throve of improvement possibilities, work I love. I am the most happy when I can wear my ratty old work clothes and get my hands really dirty.

What makes this property unique

Within walking distance to everything, yet nicely tucked away from the madding crowd. Not that there's much of a crowd in the winter. Perfect for summer vacations, and that's when you really need your very own parking space and a bit of breathing room to enjoy all that Bar Harbor has to offer.
