About this property

Gorgeous Downtown Bar Harbor Property

The Art Nook is conveniently located on Cottage Street, in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor. Park your vehicle in the included, off street parking space and walk to all the downtown shops, restaurants and attractions. The grocery store is only a block away, as well as bicycle, kayak, and motor scooter rentals. Bar Island, which is part of Acadia National Park, is just a short walk down the street. Check out the tide chart, and at low tide walk on the beach to go across the sand bar, where you can hike to the top of Bar Island to see a great view of Bar Harbor. The free bus system, the Island Explorer, can be boarded from the Village Green, a short walk from the apartment. It can take you around Acadia National Park, to the top of Cadillac Mountain, to Sand Beach, and to other amazing destinations on the island. If you enjoy hitting the links, the Kebo Valley Golf Club is a short five minute drive away.

After an exciting day of exploring, return to the newly renovated, upscale second floor condo which has two bedrooms with queen beds and two full bathrooms with tub/showers. The home is nicely decorated and has beautiful artwork throughout. The modern kitchen is well equipped and has all you need to make your own meals at home. Also included is a laundry room, Wifi, Smart and Cable TV, and Smart Lock. And on those rare days when it gets hot in Bar Harbor, the apartment is completely air conditioned!

Great place, very convenient location! The property is exactly as described and an extremely comfortable place to stay. I would definitely return and the host was very responsive to the few questions that I had. Loved the easy access and the dedicated parking spot, particularly in a town that is hard to find parking.

Fabulous stay in Bar Harbor

This is a lovely property. It was convenient to walk everywhere in town. We only used our car to go to Acadia to sightsee and hike. The unit was spotless. The ability to open windows and enjoy the fresh air was lovely. It was well appointed with good cookware, basic spices, coffee, and shampoo, etc.,

Perfect Bar Harbor stay! Right next to Acadia!

We had an amazing stay at this 2 bed apartment and highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit Bar Harbor or Acadia. The apartment is exactly as listed, looks even bigger in person, and is in an ideal location to walk around Bar Harbor’s waterline and Main Street, and is also only a 5 minute drive to Acadia. Couldn’t have been better.

So great!!

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay here more! This place was a gem. It was walking distance to everything downtown, with big beautiful windows looking out over the strip. It’s a single unit above an office, so it was very quiet. It was very big, very clean and had everything we needed. We are already talking about taking another trip to Bar Harbor, and we will definitely be booking this unit again!

Beautiful apartment in the heart of Bar Harbor

This apartment is updated and very clean. The washer and dryer were a big plus. There were lots of windows to provide great light. Awesome TV to catch up on the US Open Golf tournament! The location is the very best thing about this rental. We could walk everywhere in Bar Harbor within just a few minutes. This place is located just up the street from the sandbar across to Bar Island. And the icing on the cake was the parking space that was included. The owner thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. I would highly recommend booking this apartment for your next trip to Bar Harbor.

Outstanding location!

The apartment is located on the main drag of Bar Harbor. It’s across the street from the local grocery store and within walking distance to all the great shops and restaurants. A 15 min drive to Acadia too. The town filled up in the evenings with summer tourists and it was nice not to have to battle for parking. Parking was onsite! Easy communication with the property manager. And there were no issues so just friendly check ins. Apt is fully stocked and the washing machine/ dryer was fantastic! My teen boys got pretty dirty in Acadia. Enjoyed the quaint town parade from our front windows on the 4th of July! We’ll be back! Excellent stay!

Comfortable and convenient

Very spacious apartment with lots of natural lighting, every room has multiple windows. The living room area has two large leather comfortable sofas and about a 70” smart TV. The kitchen is very well equipped. The bedrooms have blackout shades and the bathrooms have nice towels. You feel like you are living in a house, not an apartment. The location could not be better - easy walk to at least 20 restaurants, the harbor and the Vikkage Green where the shuttle buses take you into Acadia National Park. A reserved parking spot which is an invaluable amenity in downtown Bar Harbor. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here. Only thing I would change is the option of having soft pillows for the beds.

We had two couples who enjoyed the stay. Location was very good, within walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor. We had our own parking spot, and access to Acadia was easy. The unit is located on the main road so outside noise could be heard. Overall it was a great place and area to stay.

Perfect location and great property

The location of this property is perfect. You are within walking area of everything in Bar Harbor. We would walk into town everyday to either eat or go on an excursion. Acadia park is right around the corner as well. The place itself was absolutely perfect. Everything was clean, the space was spacious, and just as it was advertised. They also had a few amenity’s there to get you started which was great. We would definitely choose this spot again!

Amazing Place!

The Art Nook was absolutely wonderful. Photos don’t do it justice. It was so clean and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Plenty of linens and other supplies like dish soap, laundry detergent , shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towel, basic kitchen items. We were right in the heart of the downtown area. Easy walking to shops and restaurants. With windows open at night you could hear the street noise, but we just closed the windows. A/C worked great. And the onsite parking spot was very convenient. If you’re considering this property, don’t hesitate. It’s amazing!
