Staying here at the Libby House was magical! The house was spotless, the communication with Seth Libby was spectacular, and the location could not have been better. The next time we go to Bar Harbor, we are definitely staying here again!!

Quirky and fun big house with lots of sleeping choices. A HUGE dining table for all of us, and a lovely back yard. So close to the downtown and square, yet you can't even hear it! Walking distance to everything in town, and the owner and maintenance man were friendly and full of good stories and ideas.

Overall good house. The pluses are excellent location, very quiet and serene outdoor space in the back and front of house. The minuses is that it could have been stocked just a little bit better.

Perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor for a group! We were a group of friends for a girl’s trip to see the New England fall colors (ages 30s-70s. It was the PERFECT location and the house was great for our group! Lots of spaces to gather as a group, yet enough for us all the spread out and have space.the host provided some great information about local bakeries, restaurants, and things to do/see. Highly reccomend!

Great old house, comfortable and charming

This was a second house for our large women’s hiking group. It was ideal for relaxing and gathering in smaller groups. One bedroom with two twins and a room with a queen are part of a suite in which you have to go through the twin bedroom to get to the queen This could be a great family suite because it has its own bath but it’s not ideal for a group of friends.

What a Gem!

Our stay was amazing! The house was super cute and had so much character. We loved the giant dining room table for big meals and board games. The outdoor space was beautiful with lots of seating and grass for yard games. The location was perfect! It's in the center of downtown with easy access to shops, restaurants, grocery store and the bus into the park. The host was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to text messages. I highly recommend this property and we would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great spacious home!

Hello, great experience staying at the Libby House. The location is perfect, can walk to several restaurants, the waterfront, and the sand bar within a few minutes. But, it's tucked away so you definitely have privacy from the business of town. The house was spacious for our two families that included four kids. They enjoyed playing the yard as well. Appreciated the laundry machines as well as grill and kitchen items. Would recommend bringing some basic kitchen items if you are able to but other than that, we appreciated having such a nice home for our vacation.

Perfect House for Family Vacation!

This wonderful home has plenty rooms for all our young adult kids to have their own space. One room with twin beds is large enough to easily fit a a pack & play without crowding the room at all. The living room with three couches quickly became the place to hang out and chat. We all enjoyed the lovely backyard with large deck and tables and chairs and the separate area with a beautiful fire pit. The house is great, but the best part is the location!!! Within a couple minutes, we could walk to all the restaurants and shops and the waterfront!! I don’t see how the location could be any better! We would definitely stay at this house again!

Best Location

The location can’t be beat. The setting is quiet and relaxing. All of us were comfortable, but there are some areas that need attention. New mattresses would help. I appreciate the preservation of an old house, but some upgrades to the upstairs baths and kitchen sink area would make it more comfortable. Communication with Seth was great and mid week when we asked for more paper goods they were dropped off the next morning. There were six adults and four children sharing the house and paper goods went quickly. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer, too.

The Libby House was great for our family! Amazing location with an easy walk to everything in Bar Harbor. But also secluded and spacious. The big dining table was perfect for everyone eating together. The backyard was quiet and beautiful. Seth was responsive and helpful when a small issue came up. It was a wonderful place to stay!

A great place to get away

The Libby House was a perfect base for a week in Bar Harbor with a focus on Acadia’s eastern region. It’s very quiet despite being only a block away from the main shopping area. We went to the park every day on the shuttle and didn’t need to use our car. The house has many bedrooms and everybody had enough space. The only possible complaint was that my teenagers wanted more 3-prong outlets in the upstairs bedrooms. :-)

Loved the Libby House

The Libby House provided everything we needed for our week in Bar Harbor - very convenient location to walks, stores, restaurants - plus a wonderfully quiet home and large backyard to relax in. The newly added pergola was used by us everyday! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
