The house was in the most perfect location. We walked everywhere and the drive into Acadia was extremely close as well. Especially if you’d like to see Jordan Pond and Cadillac Mountain. The hosts were attentive and responded quickly. The house was also stocked perfectly, we loved the amount of towels and blankets. The house was very clean and fit our group of 5 very well. Would definitely stay here again!

The home was perfect in every way for our family of 4 plus small pup, Close to Acadia and walking distance to town. The fenced in yard was wonderful for the pup and kids, as was the proximity to the YMCA, playground and fields. The home was extremely clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens and towels. The host (Bobby) was extremely responsive and gifted us and the pup and arrival treat. Highly recommend this home for a convenient, clean and quiet visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

We had a fantastic week at this home in Bar Harbor! The hosts were excellent from initial questions/pre-booking to reminding us they were available for any questions during the visit. Our dog loved having access to the fully fenced-in yard. The location was ideal: far enough from town to be quiet but within a half-mile to most restaurants as well as the shore path, and easy access to Acadia National Park. The house was very clean, downstairs was roomy with a fully functioning kitchen and friendly layout being open/adjacent to the LR, couch was comfortable and a good-sized TV for downtime. For anyone with kids, there are open fields and a playground right down the street. When we return to Bar Harbor, we wouldn't hesitate to re-book this home.

This house is a true charm. My family and pups had a fantastic time hiking, walking in town,and eating lobster. It was great to know we had this house to come back to at the end of the day. The host, Bobby, provides EVERYTHING you need for an excellent stay. Communication with him is prompt and complete. We will definately book again if we visit again. My husband and son enjoyed the front porch with morning coffee and my daughter and dogs enjoyed the deck out back in the sunshine. We arrived a few minutes early for check in and met Bobby when he was finishing a few last touches of the property for us. Stay here. You won't be disappointed -- you won't want to leave!

Beautiful home in a perfect location!

This home is exactly as described and was in pristine condition upon our arrival. The host left detailed information inside the rental and the home itself is updated and completely stocked with everything needed for an amazing week! The supplied linens and towels were in excellent condition and in plentiful supply. We could not have asked for a more perfect home away from home for the week.

Absolutely terrific place that was perfect for the 4 of us (two couples). The place was exactly as advertised, and was in an ideal location, walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor in the evenings and a short 5-minute drive to Acadia National Park for the day. House was also well equipped for meals when we ate in. Bobby the host was incredibly attentive. When we had an issue, he not only responded promptly, he was at the house a few minutes later to make sure we could figure it out. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to Bar Harbor.

Lovely home and awesome location

The home was perfect and Bobby and Sandi were awesome! Replied in minutes to any questions we had - super responsive and sweet. House is very nice and the hosts included everything we needed. We love walking so loved how we could walk into town and also walk over to the trails and do some beautiful hikes. We also brought bikes and did some nice rides. If you are looking for a lovely home, close to Acadia and town, with very responsive hosts, we would totally recommend this house.

Great house near the center of Bar Harbor

We had a terrific day at the house. The owner is very nice and easy to work with. The house is exactly as advertised. The location is excellent in just a few blocks from the center of Bar Harbor. We also worked out at the YMCA, which is only one block away. And managed to work in a pickle ball game at the YMCA as well. Terrific day. Highly recommend.
