• Fantastic Home in Bar Harbor!

  5/5

  We enjoyed an incredible stay at this home, which is just a quick walk from the center of Bar Harbor! We were able to hike and bike in Acadia starting right from the house. This house was equipped beyond our expectations. We are a three-generation family and everyone had a great time! We cooked out on the Green Egg, had a backyard lobster feast, and enjoyed the fire pit including cooking s'mores. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful! We highly recommend this wonderful home.

• Memorial Day Weekend

  5/5

  Fantastic property in great location in Bar Harbor. Was perfect for a girls weekend. We had 11 in our group and there was plenty of room and great hangout space. Walking distance to town made it incredible for a large group with different itineraries. Close to Acadia National Park. We loved our stay and would recommend 10/10. The owners were friendly and communicative and left us an incredibly delicious blueberry pie that was a huge hit with the entire group.

• Perfect Home for Families - Amazing Location!

  5/5

  I can't say enough great things about this home! We traveled with another family so our group was 4 adults / 3 kids (5 and under) and we stayed for almost a week. We had lots of space to spread out and you can't beat the location!

  For those with kids, ours loved the library - there were so many books, games, and toys that we barely used the activities we brought from home. The 3rd floor was a great designated "kid floor". The older kids each got their pick at a bed and we could set up the pack 'n play with lots of space to move around. A nice plus was that we were all able to fit in the bedroom for bedtime stories each night without feeling cramped, which isn't always the case. We usually travel with a sound machine but the kids' room has a white noise machine so we didn't need it. The 3rd floor bathroom was a good size and well equipped for the littles. We didn't use the office and were able to lock it to keep kids from exploring in there.

  The second floor has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Each couple got a larger bedroom and bathroom, we had lots of space and privacy. My daughter ended up moving to the "pink room" on the 2nd floor (baby sis was keeping her awake) and slept great. The house is old so the floors/stairs make a lot of noise - we were worried that the noise would keep our daughter up but it wasn't an issue for her or anyone else.

  The first floor is open and spacious with a bathroom and bedroom off of the kitchen. The kitchen is huge and we had fun gathering around the island at breakfast time. The whole house, especially the kitchen, is fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. And the house is so CLEAN! Probably one of the cleanest that we've stayed in.

  The house is a short drive to Acadia and most of the main attractions in the park. The proximity to Main St. in Bar Harbor was perfect. We took daily walks for coffee, dinner, ice cream, shopping - everything is so close! The walk is lovely and the kids enjoyed it.

  Lastly, the hosts are incredible. Ali and Charles checked in regularly and were very helpful. They have great guides and tips, we definitely used some of their recommendations. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we already miss it!

  5/5

  The house was great for a large group of people we had!! We definitely enjoyed the location as we were able to walk to all shops, restaurants, and move theatre! This place was also a very short drive away from Acadia Park! We could not believe how close we were to everything we wanted to enjoy! We love the warm welcome we received and the blueberry pie! Also, the owner was super responsive and quick to help answer all of my questions! I would definitely recommend this house especially if you are traveling with a big group and want to be close to all the entertainment. Thank you for the wonderful stay in Bar Harbor!

• Spacious Home, Accommodating Owners, Location, Location, Location.

  5/5

  We were a group of 4 couples sharing this charming home. We came at the beginning of a forecasted hurricane/tropical storm. Prior to this, Ali knew I had concerns and was willing to accommodate us in case we changed our dates a bit. We came as we’d planned and only experienced the internet going down at the house a couple brief times and some spots in town were closed due to power outage so inconvenience was minimal. Our house never last power. The church we attended across the street did but not our house. Everything was well stocked, especially the kitchen! There’s a table big enough for all of us at meal time and for playing games/cards. The bedrooms are very spacious and we all loved the mattresses as they were very comfortable! Each couple had their own bathroom. That’s important to us. The owners checked in with us by text daily to make sure we had everything we needed. They answered any questions we had promptly. We had a wonderful vacation in Bar Harbor!
